Depreciation Calculator API
Asset-depreciation maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically, returning the full year-by-year schedule. The straight-line endpoint spreads the depreciable amount evenly, annual = (cost − salvage) / life, with the book value falling to the salvage value over the asset life. The declining-balance endpoint is accelerated — each year depreciates the current book value times factor/life (a factor of 2 is the double-declining method) — and it is capped so the book value never drops below salvage. The sum-of-years-digits endpoint is also accelerated, front-loading the expense: year t depreciates (remaining life / SYD) × (cost − salvage), where SYD = n(n+1)/2. Each method returns the depreciation, accumulated depreciation and book value for every year. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for accounting, ERP, asset-management and bookkeeping app developers, fixed-asset registers, and finance dashboards. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. General accounting maths — tax rules such as MACRS differ by jurisdiction. 3 endpoints. This is asset depreciation; for NPV and IRR use a finance-calc API and for loans use a loan API.
