The audit enforces 0 ≤ salvage ≤ cost and checks accumulated depreciation against ending book value.

Planning scope

This calculator is a deterministic planning aid based only on the values you enter. It does not supply current tax rates, market returns, employment-law classifications, individualized investment advice, or product recommendations. Verify real-world rates, rules, fees, and timing separately.
