Asset Lifespan Calculator
Calculate the lifespan, depreciation, and remaining value of your assets. Determine useful life based on cost, depreciation method, salvage value, and maintenance costs.
Step 1: Asset Details
Understanding Asset Lifespan
The useful life of an asset varies by type. Machinery typically lasts 5-15 years, vehicles 5-10 years, buildings 20-50 years, and electronics 3-7 years depending on usage and maintenance.
Step 2: Depreciation & Additional Factors
About Depreciation Methods
Straight-line depreciation spreads cost evenly over useful life. Declining balance methods accelerate depreciation in early years. Choose based on asset usage patterns and tax requirements.

Depreciation Formulas
Straight-Line Depreciation = (Cost – Salvage Value) ÷ Useful Life
For other methods: Declining balance uses a fixed percentage of remaining book value. Double-declining uses twice the straight-line rate. Sum-of-years uses a fraction that decreases each year.
