Calculates the depreciation of an asset for a specific time frame, including fractional periods.
Determines the devaluation of an asset over a given timeframe utilizing the sum of years digits approach.
Computes the depreciation of an asset for a single period using the straight-line approach.
Computes the depreciation of an asset over a specific period utilizing the double-declining balance approach.

The SLN function in Excel is a useful tool for calculating the straight-line depreciation of an asset over a specified period. It provides a straightforward method for businesses to recognize the loss in value of their tangible assets year after year. The function requires input parameters such as the cost of the asset, its salvage value, and the useful life, making it a vital component for financial analysis and accounting practices.
The SYD function in Excel is a financial function that calculates the depreciation of an item over time using the sum-of-years’ digits method. This method accelerates depreciation, allowing for higher expense allocations in earlier years of an asset’s life. The SYD function requires specific parameters, including the cost of the asset, its salvage value, and the lifespan in years, effectively enabling users to evaluate the asset’s diminishing value more efficiently.
