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.
Understanding accumulated depreciation is impossible without understanding depreciation. Depreciation is the reduction of the value of a fixed asset over a pre-defined period of time. For example, the value of a piece of machinery worth $10,000 at purchase may depreciate by $1,000 per year over a period of 10 years.
