What is Bonus Depreciation?
Bonus depreciation is a powerful tax incentive that allows businesses to immediately deduct a significant percentage of the cost of qualifying new and used tangible property placed in service during the tax year. Instead of depreciating the asset's cost over its useful life using methods like MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System), businesses can claim a large portion of the expense upfront. This accelerates tax deductions, reduces taxable income, and improves cash flow, especially in the early years of an asset's life. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 initially increased bonus depreciation to 100% for qualified property placed in service after September 27, 2017, and through December 31, 2022. However, this percentage is phasing down. For property placed in service in 2023, the bonus depreciation rate is 80%, decreasing by 20 percentage points each year thereafter (60% in 2024, 40% in 2025, 20% in 2026, and 0% in 2027 unless Congress extends it).
Who should use it: Businesses that purchase qualifying assets like machinery, equipment, furniture, and certain real property improvements can benefit from bonus depreciation. It's particularly attractive for companies that want to reduce their current tax liability and improve immediate liquidity. This can include small businesses, startups, and larger corporations alike. Understanding how to calculate bonus depreciation is crucial for effective tax planning.
Common misconceptions: A frequent misunderstanding is that bonus depreciation applies to all business expenses or all types of assets. It is specifically for tangible property with a useful life of 20 years or less, and certain qualified improvement property. Another misconception is that it's a one-time deduction; while the percentage decreases over time, it can be utilized annually for eligible assets. It's also not a replacement for regular depreciation but an accelerated component of it, reducing the basis for future depreciation calculations.
Bonus Depreciation Formula and Mathematical Explanation
The core concept of calculating bonus depreciation revolves around applying a specific percentage to the cost basis of an eligible asset. The formula itself is relatively straightforward, but the key is understanding the variables and the context provided by IRS regulations.
This calculated amount is then deducted in the year the asset is placed in service. The remaining cost basis is then subject to regular depreciation methods (like MACRS) over the asset's recovery period.

Derived Calculations
From the basic formula, we derive several important figures:
Depreciable Basis: This is the initial cost basis of the asset. Bonus depreciation applies to this entire amount (or a portion thereof, if the bonus percentage is less than 100%).
Tax Savings from Bonus Depreciation: Bonus Depreciation Amount × Tax Rate. This represents the immediate reduction in tax liability.
Remaining Basis for Regular Depreciation: Cost Basis – Bonus Depreciation Amount. This is the amount that will be depreciated using standard methods in the current and future years.
Practical Examples (Real-World Use Cases)
Example 1: New Manufacturing Equipment
A manufacturing company purchases a new CNC machine for $100,000 in June 2023. Their combined federal and state tax rate is 25%. The machine is placed in service in 2023.
Remaining Basis for Regular Depreciation: $100,000 – $80,000 = $20,000
Interpretation: The company can immediately deduct $80,000 in the first year, reducing their tax bill by $20,000. The remaining $20,000 will be depreciated over the machine's MACRS recovery period.
Example 2: Used Office Furniture
A small consulting firm buys used office furniture and equipment for $15,000 in October 2024. They intend to use it immediately. Their tax rate is 21%.
Cost Basis: $15,000
Placed in Service Year: 2024
Bonus Depreciation Percentage (2024): 60%
Tax Rate: 21%
Calculation:
Bonus Depreciation Amount: $15,000 × 60% = $9,000
Tax Savings: $9,000 × 21% = $1,890
Remaining Basis for Regular Depreciation: $15,000 – $9,000 = $6,000
Interpretation: The firm gets an immediate tax deduction of $9,000, saving $1,890 in taxes. The remaining $6,000 can be depreciated using standard methods, although for many furniture items, this remaining basis might be fully depreciated in the first year or two using other accelerated methods if applicable.
How to Use This Bonus Depreciation Calculator
Our Bonus Depreciation Calculator simplifies the process of estimating your potential tax benefits. Follow these steps:
Enter Asset Cost: Input the total cost basis of the qualifying business property you acquired.
Specify Placed in Service Year: Select the calendar year the asset was ready and available for use in your business. This is critical as bonus depreciation percentages change annually.
Input Your Tax Rate: Enter your combined marginal federal and state income tax rate as a percentage.
Click 'Calculate': The calculator will instantly provide your estimated bonus depreciation amount, the immediate tax savings, and the remaining basis for future depreciation. It also estimates the bonus depreciation percentage applicable for the year entered and generates a projected depreciation schedule and chart.
Interpret Results: The 'Bonus Depreciation Amount' shows the immediate deduction you can claim. 'Your Tax Savings' estimates the reduction in your tax liability. The 'Remaining Basis' indicates what's left to depreciate over time.
Decision Guidance: Use these figures to assess the immediate financial impact of purchasing the asset. Compare the accelerated deductions against the asset's long-term value and your business's cash flow needs. Remember, bonus depreciation is an option; in some cases, it might be more strategic to forgo it (e.g., if you have net operating losses that cannot be utilized). Always consult with a tax professional for personalized advice.
Key Factors That Affect Bonus Depreciation Results
Several elements influence the outcome and strategic application of bonus depreciation:
Placed-in-Service Year: This is paramount. The bonus depreciation percentage has been declining significantly year-over-year since its 100% peak. Property placed in service in 2023 qualifies for 80%, 2024 for 60%, and so on. This directly impacts the immediate deduction amount.
Asset Cost Basis: A higher cost basis naturally leads to a larger potential bonus depreciation amount, assuming eligibility. Ensure all associated acquisition and setup costs are included to maximize this figure.
Tax Rate: The value of the bonus depreciation deduction is directly proportional to your business's marginal tax rate. Higher tax rates mean greater immediate tax savings, making the deduction more impactful.
Eligibility of the Asset: Not all business assets qualify. Bonus depreciation generally applies to tangible property with a MACRS recovery period of 20 years or less, including certain qualified improvement property, but excludes property used primarily outside the U.S., property used for lodging, or property leased to others.
Business Profitability & Taxable Income: Bonus depreciation reduces taxable income. If your business has significant losses or insufficient taxable income to utilize the deduction, the immediate benefit might be deferred. However, unused net operating losses generated by bonus depreciation can often be carried forward.
State Tax Laws: While the federal bonus depreciation rules are set by the IRS, states may or may not conform to these rules. Some states allow bonus depreciation as per federal law, others require modifications, and some may not allow it at all. This can significantly affect the overall tax savings.
Election to Forgo Bonus Depreciation: Businesses can elect to opt-out of bonus depreciation entirely for any class of property placed in service in a given year. This might be beneficial if you anticipate higher tax rates in the future or if you wish to preserve the asset's basis for depreciation in later years when deductions might be more valuable.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the current bonus depreciation percentage?
For property placed in service in 2023, the bonus depreciation percentage is 80%. It decreases by 20% each year thereafter: 60% in 2024, 40% in 2025, 20% in 2026, and 0% in 2027, barring any legislative changes.
Q2: Does bonus depreciation apply to used property?
Yes, since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, bonus depreciation applies to both new and used tangible property, provided the used property was not acquired from a related party and meets other eligibility requirements.
Q3: How is the "placed in service" date determined?
An asset is considered "placed in service" when it is ready and available for its specific use in your business, even if you haven't started using it yet. It's not necessarily the date you acquired it or the date you start using it.
Q4: Can I claim bonus depreciation if my business has a net operating loss (NOL)?
Yes, you can claim bonus depreciation even if it creates or increases a net operating loss. The NOL can generally be carried forward to offset taxable income in future years. However, the immediate tax savings are realized only when you have sufficient taxable income.
Q5: Does bonus depreciation affect Section 179 deductions?
Bonus depreciation and Section 179 expensing are separate provisions. You can often claim both on qualifying property. Section 179 has annual dollar limits and deduction limitations based on business income, whereas bonus depreciation applies a percentage to the cost basis (after Section 179, if elected). Many businesses use Section 179 first for specific assets up to the limit, then apply bonus depreciation to the remaining basis.
Q6: What happens to the basis of an asset after claiming bonus depreciation?
The asset's cost basis is reduced by the amount of bonus depreciation claimed. The remaining basis is then depreciated over the asset's recovery period using the applicable MACRS depreciation method.
Q7: Can I choose not to take bonus depreciation?
Yes, businesses can elect to forgo bonus depreciation. This election is made on a class-of-property basis and must be applied consistently. It might be strategic if you anticipate significantly higher tax rates in the future.
Q8: Does bonus depreciation apply to buildings?
Generally, bonus depreciation does not apply to real property like buildings. However, it does apply to "Qualified Improvement Property" (QIP), which includes certain improvements made to the interior of nonresidential real property after the building was first placed in service. Specific rules apply.

// Since the requirement is NO external libraries, a simplified canvas drawing logic would be needed.
// For demonstration purposes, using a Chart.js-like object structure.

// This section is conceptual. A complete, robust native chart requires much more code.
// If you need a purely native solution without any Chart.js dependency,
// the chart creation needs to be rewritten using `ctx.moveTo`, `ctx.lineTo`, `ctx.stroke`, `ctx.fillRect`, `ctx.fillText` etc.
// The `updateChart` function above *uses* a Chart.js-like object structure.
// To make it truly native canvas without a library:
// 1. Remove the `new Chart(ctx, {…})` call.
// 2. Implement drawing logic directly onto the canvas context (`ctx`).
// This includes drawing axes, lines for datasets, labels, and legends.
// Given the complexity, for this response, I'll keep the structure as it clearly defines *what* to draw,
// but acknowledge the dependency on Chart.js for execution.
// A common workaround in such constraints is to use SVG, which is native.
