About MACRS Depreciation

About MACRS Depreciation MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System) is the primary method used to determine depreciation deductions for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Depreciation Methods:

  • 200% Declining Balance (GDS): 200% Declining Balance (GDS): Provides the highest tax deductions in the early years
  • 150% Declining Balance (GDS): 150% Declining Balance (GDS): Provides higher deductions than straight-line but lower than the 200% method
  • Straight Line (SL): Straight Line (SL): Deducts the same amount each year (except the first and last year)

Recovery Period Examples:

  • 3-year: Certain tractors, horses
  • 5-year: Automobiles, computers, office equipment
  • 7-year: Office furniture, agricultural machinery
  • 27.5-year: Residential rental real estate
  • 39-year: Nonresidential real estate

About Salvage Value: Under MACRS rules, depreciation calculations typically assume a salvage value of $0. However, this calculator allows you to enter an estimated salvage value to more accurately reflect the asset's actual value. When a salvage value is entered, depreciation will stop when the book value reaches the salvage value.
