I said a friend uses a spreadsheet for depreciation, after purchasing some accounting add-on for Excel. I have in the past just given my accountant the date of purchase, and what the asset is. He works out the depreciation, but I have a rough idea how he does it. It's the first method mentioned here https://cvs.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/dep_value1.html I would assume that if the calculator was added, that could do a linear method, it would not take too much effort to use a different algorithm There are examples of three methods at https://cvs.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/dep_value1.html The most difficult task would be getting it to use to do the work - once set up, I doubt that a radio button or an entry in preference that just does a different bit of mathematics would be too hard. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do this, and as I stated, I'm well aware it's much easier to thing of ways of improving software, than to actually do it on an open-source project, where people have other jobs.
