Assumptions

  • Useful life: 8 years
  • Price basis: $12,000 list × mid tier
  • Salvage assumption: 10% of gross cost

Limitations

  • Not tax advice — Section 179 / bonus depreciation rules can expensing much of this immediately in the US; confirm with your accountant.
  • Single-type scope — Mixed fleets depreciate on blended schedules; run per type and sum.
