By using the NBtax property tax depreciation calculator you can measure your potential depreciation allowances for a free-standing house, townhouse, duplex or apartment, currently rented out or even a property you are considering buying as an investment in the future.
Once you have an estimate of your depreciation allowances, add this figure to your other property investment deductions (eg. repairs, interest payments, rates, property management costs) and subtract from rental earnings. This will enable you to gauge the potential of your residential property to deliver a positive return on your investment.
Enter your information into our NBtax calculator and learn how much you could be claiming in property tax depreciation deductions. It’s easy to use and only takes a few minutes to complete.
Our online property tax depreciation calculator provides an estimate of how much you could be gaining in depreciation allowances over a five-year period for your residential investment properties.

Property tax depreciation estimates for residential properties are based on two allowances:
Depreciating Assets (Plant & Equipment Items) Capital Allowances: (Division 40) and Building Allowances: Capital Works (Division 43).
Eligibility to claim Building Allowances: Capital Works (Division 43) depends on the age of your residential property.

On newly constructed properties, 2.5% of the construction cost for the structure of the building and other fixed assets will apply to the expected life of the property for up to 40 years.
As mentioned, our NBtax online calculator provides only an Estimate of the potential depreciation deductions available for your investment property.

This depreciation schedule can then be used to claim against the income earned through rent from your existing investment property or a new property you are considering buying and using as an investment in the future.
