Syntax  Copy Code

SYD( Number cost, Number salvage, Number life, Number period )  Currency

Parameters

cost
Required. The initial cost of the asset.
salvage
Required. The value at the end of the depreciation (also known as the salvage value).
life
Required. The number of periods over which the asset is being depreciated.
period
Required. The period; it must use the same units as life.

Remarks

SYD is calculated as follows: SYD = (cost - salvage) * (life - per + 1) * 2 / (life * (life + 1)).

If life is zero, the function returns the #DIV/0! error value. If life is less than zero or period is greater than life, the return is #NUM!.
