Depreciation calculator for the self-employed and companies.

In Spain, a computer, a van or office furniture is not deducted on the day you buy it: it is depreciated (amortización) year by year, at most at the rate of an official table. Choose what you bought, its price and when you start using it, and see the schedule to the last euro.

Table

Self-employed under simplified estimación directa: the table of the Orden of 27 March 1998.

Computers, laptops, tablets, printers…

€

If you cannot reclaim the VAT, add it: it is then part of the price.

Depreciation counts from that day, not from the invoice date.

Ask Melso

An estimate under 2026 rules. Your case may have details that change it, so check before you decide. Calculated in your browser: nothing you type is sent or stored.

  1. Your table.

    Under simplified estimación directa, the one in the Orden of 27 March 1998. Under normal estimación directa and for companies, the official table in article 12 of the corporate tax law.

  2. The maximum rate.

    Each type of asset has a maximum percentage a year and a longest period. You may depreciate less, but you must finish within that period.

  3. The first year, by days.

    The first year only counts the days from when you start using it: the rate times the days in use, over the days in the year.

  4. Year by year to the end.

    Each year you depreciate the rate on the price, rounded to the cent, and in the last year whatever is left.

  5. Items up to €300.

    If it is a new tangible item costing €300 or less, you can deduct it whole in the year you start using it, up to €25,000 a year for all of them.
