Accumulated depreciation is the total amount a company depreciates its assets, and depreciation expense is the amount a company's assets are depreciated for a single period. Essentially, accumulated depreciation is the total amount of a company's cost that has been allocated to depreciation expense since the asset or assets have been put into use. The accumulated depreciation account is an asset account on a company's balance sheet with a credit balance.
Depreciation expense records the value of depreciation that has been moved from the balance sheet and onto the income statement during the period. When fixed assets depreciate, a journal entry is made to credit, or increase, the amount of accumulated depreciation associated with the fixed asset. Simultaneously, an equivalent debit is made to increase the amount of depreciation expense for the period.
