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.
Why is Accumulated Depreciation an asset account? Having an asset account such as Accumulated Depreciation allows a company's balance sheet to easily report both 1) the amount of an asset's cost that has been depreciated as of the date of the balance sheet, and 2) the asset's cost. This is possible because Accumulated Depreciation is credited each time that Depreciation Expense is debited.
