Depreciation is a critical element in business accounting, compliance, and tax calculations. Depreciation entries help businesses keep an accurate record of their assets, track the value of those assets over time, and claim tax deductions for the cost of those assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, passing depreciation entry in Tally is a complex task. It involves calculating the depreciable value of an asset, charging it to the right account and valuing the assets correctly in the balance sheet. Besides, it must be compliant with the tax and other statutory laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tutorial is divided into two major parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Calculation of Depreciation:<\/strong> The Hard Part<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Passing Depreciation Journal Entry in Tally<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we jump directly into the calculation and entry part.

Obsolescence can be due to many factors, including changes in technology, fashion, or consumer preferences. Wear and tear are simply the results of normal use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second concept, the allocation of the cost of an asset over its useful life, is more commonly referred to as depreciation. Depreciation accounts for the cost of an asset over its useful life. The purpose of measuring the depreciation of an asset is to match the expense to the revenue that it generates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your business bought a transport lorry of  \u20b910,00,000 and it is expected to be useful for the next 10 years. Now the question is how to book the expense and at what value it should be represented in books of account at the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you deduct the whole amount in the first year itself, the profit will dip steeply even if the asset would be used for the next 9 years while\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now for better accounting, the total cost of a lorry, i.e., 10 lakhs, would be spread out over its useful life of 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the company is supposed to book 1\/10th of the total expense (\u20b91,00,000) for the next 10 years. At the end of the first year, the value of the lorry represented in the Balance sheet will be \u20b99 lakh, at the end of the second year, it will be 8 lakh and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e4e4e4\"><strong>Suggested Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techjockey.com\/blog\/tally-erp-9-vs-tally-prime\">Difference between Tally ERP 9 Vs Tally Prime<\/a><\/strong> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techjockey.com\/alternatives\/tally-erp-9\"><strong>Top Tally Alternatives<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-calculation-of-depreciation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"calculation_of_depreciation\"><\/span>Calculation of Depreciation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How to do Depreciation Entry in Tally Prime | Techjockey | Watch video till the end for a surprise\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dxJSrH-bd_c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><strong>How to do depreciation entry in TallyPrime <\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tally doesn&#8217;t calculate depreciation; it just books the expense in your accounts. The accountant must calculate the amount of depreciation and then pass the entry in Tally.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you need to do is to choose a Method of Depreciation that best represents your financial statement and is allowed by statutory regulations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four methods of calculating depreciation: Straight Line Method, Declining Balance Method or Written Down Value (WDV), Sum of the Year&#8217;s Digits Method, and Usage or Units of Production Method. Among them, the Written Down Value or Declining Method is the most popular and widely acceptable method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, in India, you must comply with the Companies Act, 2013 or Income Tax Act 1961 or both depending on the provisions. Both acts allow businesses to use either WDV or SLM method for correct representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steps-to-calculate-depreciation-as-per-straight-line-method-slm\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"steps_to_calculate_depreciation_as_per_straight_line_method_slm\"><\/span>Steps to Calculate Depreciation as per Straight Line Method (SLM)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The simplest method to calculate depreciation is the Straight-Line Method. As the name suggests, in this method, the amount of depreciation is spread evenly over the useful life of the asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To calculate depreciation using the straight-line method, you must take the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Determine the cost of the asset<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Historical of Asset= Purchase cost + shipping, installation, and taxes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Estimate the useful life of the asset<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Based on the Income Tax Act,1961 or Companies Act, 2013\u202f<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Estimate the salvage value of the asset<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Not more than 5% (generally)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Based on the Income Tax Act,1961 or Companies Act, 2013<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Calculate depreciation expense\u202f<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Depreciation expense = (Cost of the asset &#8211; Salvage value) \/ Useful life
