When you use the Number of years depreciation method, the fixed asset's service life is used to calculate the depreciation amount.

In this example, a device was acquired at a cost of 100,000 RUB with a service life of five years. Therefore, the usage period amount is 15 (1+2+3+4+5). To calculate the depreciation rate for each year, the acquisition cost is multiplied by a fraction. The numerator is the year in reducing order, starting with the last (in the example, 5), and the denominator is the sum of the service life years.
