Free Depreciation Calculator for F&B Businesses

Yukti's free depreciation calculator handles F&B-specific asset categories. Kitchen equipment is generally 5-7 year MACRS property. Furniture and fixtures (tables, chairs, booths, bar equipment) are 7-year property. Leasehold improvements are 15-year qualified improvement property. Refrigeration units are 7-year property. The calculator applies the correct MACRS classification and produces depreciation schedules for each asset.

First-year deductions are particularly valuable for new restaurant openings when startup costs are high. Section 179 and bonus depreciation can allow an F&B business to deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment in the year of purchase. The calculator models the tax impact of immediate expensing versus standard depreciation, helping you time equipment purchases for maximum tax benefit.

Equipment replacement planning is important in F&B because kitchen equipment has a limited functional life even if the depreciation period is longer. A commercial oven may be fully depreciated after seven years but continue operating for 10-15 years. Conversely, some equipment (POS systems, technology) becomes obsolete before its depreciation period ends. The calculator helps you align financial planning with operational equipment cycles.

When your F&B business needs integrated asset management alongside operational tools, Yukti tracks equipment by location, calculates depreciation monthly, and provides the data needed for financial reporting, tax preparation, and capital planning.
