Last updated: 2026-07-10
What We Do
Section 179 Calculator is a free online tool that helps you estimate Section 179 depreciation deductions for business equipment purchases. All calculations and lookups run instantly in your browser — no account required, no personal data collected.
Our Mission
We believe tax and financial information should be accessible to everyone. Government data, regulations, and technical specifications are often buried in hard-to-navigate sources. Section 179 Calculator consolidates this information into a single, easy-to-use tool that gives you answers in seconds.
How It Works
Enter your details and get results immediately. Our calculations are based on publicly available data from official sources. We regularly review and update our data to ensure accuracy.
Data Sources
Our data comes from authoritative public sources, including:
- IRS Section 179 deduction limits
- IRS Publication 946 (Depreciation)
- One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) 2026 updates
Who Runs This Site
Section 179 Calculator is part of Niche Tools, an independent project built and maintained by Adam B., a Brooklyn-based developer. Niche Tools builds free, focused reference tools that turn scattered public data — government tables, municipal codes, agency datasets — into answers you can actually use. There is no staff of ghostwriters and no AI-spun filler: each site is built from primary sources, and we cite them.
Editorial Standards
Every data point on this site traces back to a public primary source. When we summarize regulations or statistics, we link the official source so you can verify it yourself. When something is not specified in the source material, we say "not specified" rather than guessing. If you find an error, please report it — corrections ship quickly.
