A bookkeeper tracking depreciation · Any company with equipment on the books — usually looking for this when the accountant has asked for an asset list with depreciation.
Need more than one? All 10 Business templates for $39 — $121 bought separately. All 66 for $99.
Works in Excel 2013 and later, Microsoft 365, Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc. Set up to print landscape on one page wide. Version 1, updated 25 September 2026.
There are free templates. Why this one?
There are, and some are fine. The difference is what has been checked. This file was built from scratch, then every formula in it was recalculated by a separate checker that compares each result against an independently worked-out answer — 65 of them here. A template that looks right and totals wrong is worse than no template at all, and that is the usual failing of one downloaded from a search result.
It also opens with sample rows already filled in, so you can see every formula working before you touch it, and it is set up to print without fighting the page setup. No email wall, no signup, no watermark, and you can use it commercially.
About this Fixed Asset Register template
A fixed asset register records what your business owns and what it is worth on paper. This Excel template lists each asset with its purchase date, cost, residual value and useful life, and calculates straight-line depreciation down to the residual value.
Age is measured against today, so accumulated depreciation and net book value are current whenever you open the file. The summary shows total cost, net book value, this year's depreciation charge and how many assets are fully depreciated.

How to use the Fixed Asset Register in Excel
Straight-line depreciation over the useful life, down to the residual value. Age is measured against today, so book values are current whenever you open it.
The file opens with sample rows so you can see every formula working before you change anything. Type your own figures over them. When you need more rows, insert them inside the existing block rather than underneath it, so the totals keep covering every row.
Functions and formulas it uses
Every one of these exists in Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice, so the file behaves the same wherever you open it.
AVERAGECOUNTCOUNTIFIFERRORMAXMINSUMTODAYQuestions about the Fixed Asset Register
What is straight-line depreciation?
The asset loses the same amount of value every year: cost minus residual value, divided by its useful life in years.
Can an asset be depreciated below its residual value?
No. Accumulated depreciation stops at cost minus residual value, so book value never falls below it.
Is depreciation the same as capital allowances?
No. Depreciation is for your accounts; capital allowances are the tax relief. Your accountant handles the tax treatment separately.
