Paano Kalkulahin si Real Estate Depreciation
Ano ang Real Estate Depreciation?
Real estate depreciation allows investors to deduct the cost of a rental property over its useful life (27.5 years for residential, 39 years for commercial in the US), reducing taxable rental income even if the property is appreciating in value.
Step-by-Step na Gabay
- 1Annual depreciation = (Purchase price − land value) / 27.5 years
- 2Land cannot be depreciated — only the building (typically 70–80% of purchase price)
- 3Depreciation is a "paper" deduction — it reduces taxable income without a cash outflow
- 4When you sell, depreciation is "recaptured" and taxed at up to 25%
