AfA calculator

One calculator. Both levers. Your real AfA advantage.

The combined calculator links remaining useful life and purchase price allocation: it shows what each appraisal delivers on its own, what both achieve together — and whether the purchase pays off from a depreciation standpoint. The binding figures come from the appraisal.

Remaining useful life + purchase price allocation in one

Combined calculator

Remaining useful life and purchase price allocation — the benefit in one calculation.

Property type, year of construction and purchase price determine the statutory standard depreciation. On top of that the calculator applies both levers: the shorter remaining useful life and the appropriate building share. This shows what each appraisal brings on its own and what the two achieve together.

Both appraisals together yield more than the sum of the individual benefits: the higher building share from the purchase price allocation is additionally depreciated over the shorter remaining useful life.

from a depreciation standpointIndication: clearly worth acquiring

Together, both appraisals raise your annual depreciation significantly — about €5,103 more liquidity per year, roughly €51,030 over 10 years. The cost of the appraisals is usually recouped quickly.
