Double Declining Balance (DDB) is an accelerated depreciation method that applies double the straight-line rate to the declining book value each year. It produces larger deductions early and smaller ones later — useful for assets that lose value quickly.

- 2Annual depreciation = Beginning book value × DDB rate
- 3Book value never goes below salvage value
- 4Often switched to straight-line when straight-line gives a higher deduction
