Eight Year Cost Amortization
Model And Calculator
This calculator requires the use of Javascript enabled and capable browsers. This calculator is designed to give a reasonably accurate model of cost amortization (cost spreading) of a project over a maximum of an 8 year period. The project can be shorter but not longer and relates to accruable IRS guidelines. The cost is input in dollars. The start year is the actual year when data will begin; the ending year is when data will end. The pre-data year is the foundational year and is not user modifiable. The maximum year is the last possible year of the model parameters, based only on the start year. The cost percentage is the portion of the entire total cost to be spent when 50% of the allocated time has expired. The maximum annual cost percentage determines the maximum allowable annual accrued cost, usually spread equally but not required. It is a guideline with maximum and minimum input values of 1 and 0. This value will work within the formula for the best possible results.
