Example 1
- value 120000
- years 5
24 000,00
What linear depreciation at 120000 / 5? 24 000,00. A year quotient, not a tax class.
Linear depreciation
Type value and years. 120000 / 5 gives 24 000,00. 80000 / 4 gives 20 000,00. 60000 / 6 gives 10 000,00. An even year, not a tax table.
Not a tax class and not a statute rate. The calculator divides value by years. Percent decay lives on car depreciation.

How it works
Linear depreciation in this calculator is value over years when years are greater than zero. 120000 / 5 = 24000. The result is 24 000,00, with a thousands space and two places. 80000 / 4 gives 20 000,00. 60000 / 6 gives 10 000,00. No currency in the number.
Field a is the starting value. Field b is years. Order matters. 5 / 120000 is not this formula. Years 0 yield no number, because there is no quotient from an empty span.
Tax classes and statutory rates do not enter. 24 000,00 at 120000 and 5 does not come from an asset group. The same charge each year, not a declining balance.
Car depreciation next door runs a percent decay. Residual is an end value. Here only the quotient. 120000 over 5 stays 24 000,00 with no percent.
Type 120000 and 5, then Calculate. A comma in 5.5 parses and gives another charge than 24 000,00. A division sketch, not a ledger and not a tax filing.
120000 / 5 gives 24 000,00. 80000 / 4 gives 20 000,00. 60000 / 6 gives 10 000,00. Another year count at the same value changes the result.
Formula
annual = value / years when years > 0
How to use
- Type the starting value, for example 120000.
- Type years, for example 5.
- Click Calculate. The result is 24 000,00, with no currency.
- 80000 / 4 give 20 000,00. 60000 / 6 give 10 000,00.
- No tax class here. Percent decay lives on car depreciation.
120000 / 5 = 24 000,00
Annual = value / years. 120000 / 5 gives 24 000,00. This is not a tax class.
- depreciation
- The year quotient. 120000 / 5 shows 24 000,00. 80000 / 4 gives 20 000,00.
- value
- Field a. 60000 / 6 gives 10 000,00. No tax group here.
- years
- Field b. It must be greater than zero. Zero years yield no number.
