How to register a depreciation in NettoWise

Step by step adding a depreciation, with an example for a car.

In NettoWise you register a depreciation for business assets that last multiple years. You enter the purchase value, date, useful life, and residual value. NettoWise then applies this to your profit per period.

Purchase value below EUR 450? That usually belongs under business costs instead of depreciations.

Add a depreciation

Go to Portal -> Data -> Depreciations.
Click Add.
Fill in the details:
- Asset name
- Purchase value (excluding VAT)
- Purchase date
- Useful life in years
- Residual value
Save.

Once depreciations have been applied, you can only edit the name.

Example: car

A car is typically depreciated over multiple years.

Name: Car 1
Purchase value: EUR 12,000
Purchase date: 15-03-2025
Useful life: 5 years
Residual value: EUR 2,000

How it shows up in your calculation

NettoWise spreads the purchase value minus residual value across the useful life. That amount lowers your profit per period and therefore affects your taxable income in box 1.

	Amount
Purchase value	EUR 12,000
Residual value	EUR 2,000
Depreciation base	EUR 10,000
Useful life	5 years
Annual depreciation	EUR 2,000
