Cost Segregation Savings Calculator
Estimate how much of your property's basis could reclassify to accelerated depreciation — and your potential first-year deduction. It takes about 10 seconds.
Your property
Assumes ~20% of the price is non-depreciable land and ~45% of the depreciable basis reclassifies to 5-, 7-, and 15-year property for a self-storage.
This is an estimate, not tax advice. Actual reclassification depends on a document-based engineering study of your specific property. Figures use typical IRS-benchmark ratios by property type and assume 100% bonus depreciation eligibility. Consult your tax advisor.
How this estimate works
A cost segregation study reclassifies parts of a building — things like specialty electrical, flooring, and site improvements — from the standard 39-year (or 27.5-year residential) recovery period into 5-, 7-, and 15-year property. That front-loads depreciation and, with bonus depreciation under IRC §168(k), can produce a large first-year deduction. This calculator applies typical IRS-benchmark reclassification ratios for each property type to give you a quick, pre-study estimate. Your actual results come from a document-based engineering study of your specific property.
