This home depreciation calculator is built for rental and investment property owners, estimating the annual depreciation deduction typically claimed for tax purposes on a property’s structure — separate from the land value, which isn’t depreciable. This differs from a primary residence, which generally isn’t depreciated for tax purposes at all.
