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.
Accumulated depreciation is the amount of total depreciation expense that has been charged on the asset since the date of its recognition.

Formula Accumulated depreciation is an important component of the fixed asset schedule which shows the movement (i.e. additions and/or disposals) of fixed assets during a particular period.
