Depreciation is an essential aspect of real estate investing, as it helps you lower your taxable income by accounting for the gradual reduction in value of your property over time. To receive a personalized estimate, simply fill out the fields below with the appropriate information:
Type of property
Years Property Has Been Owned
(Years - Months)
Years
Months
Original Purchase Price of Property
(cost basis) ($)
Land Value ($)
Improvement to Property ($)
Annual Depreciation ($)
Total Accumulated Depreciation ($)
Please note that the IRS requires residential real estate to be depreciated over a 27.5 year period, and commercial real estate to be depreciated over a 39 year period.
It's important to keep track of your property's accumulated depreciation, as this will affect your tax liability if and when you decide to sell the property. If you sell a property for more than its depreciated value, you may be subject to depreciation recapture tax.
In addition to depreciation, you may also be interested in using a 1031exchange to defer capital gains tax when you sell your property. Be sure to check out our Capital Gains Calculator to see how this strategy could benefit you.
Thank you for using our Depreciation Calculator. If you have any questions or would like more information about real estate investing and tax strategies, please consult with a qualified tax professional or financial advisor.

*Federal Capital Gains Tax is between 15-20% depending upon annual household income.
**State Capital Gains Tax varies by state and income level, 13% is just an estimate used as the default above.
*** Net Investment Income Tax of 3.8% is applied if annual investment income is $200,000+ for a single taxpayer or $250,000+ for married taxpayers filing jointly.
Here's an overview of how real estate capital gains are typically calculated:
Determine the property's cost basis: The cost basis of the property includes the original purchase price, plus any transaction fees, commissions, and other expenses incurred during the purchase process. It can also include improvements made to the property over time, such as renovations or additions, but not routine repairs and maintenance.
Adjust the cost basis: The cost basis of the property may need to be adjusted for factors such as depreciation, casualty losses, or energy efficiency improvements. For example, if the property has been depreciated over time, the adjusted cost basis would be the original cost basis minus the accumulated depreciation.
Determine the sale price: The sale price is the amount the property is sold for, minus any transaction fees and commissions.
Calculate the gain: The gain is the difference between the sale price and the adjusted cost basis of the property.
Determine the tax rate: The tax rate on the gain depends on several factors, including how long the property was held and the taxpayer's income level. If the property was held for less than one year, the gain is subject to short-term capital gains tax, which is taxed at the taxpayer's ordinary income tax rate. If the property was held for more than one year, the gain is subject to long-term capital gains tax, which is typically taxed at a lower rate.
Calculate the tax liability: The tax liability is the amount of tax owed on the gain. This can be calculated by multiplying the gain by the applicable tax rate.
