MyDepreciation - Free MACRS Calculator

Author here. I built MyDepreciation after getting frustrated with TurboTax paywalling basic MACRS calculations ($80 for the "Self-Employed" tier). *Technical details:* • Vanilla JS, no frameworks (wanted to keep it lightweight) • 100% client-side (no backend, no analytics, no data collection) • MACRS tables hardcoded from IRS Publication 946 (public domain) • Total bundle size: 3KB gzipped • Hosted on Cloudflare Pages (free tier) *Why no framework?* The entire app is just form inputs + table lookups + arithmetic. Adding React/Vue would 10x the bundle size for zero benefit.…

Understanding how assets lose value over time is essential for accurate financial planning and tax optimization. Depreciation is the systematic allocation of an asset's cost over its useful life. When you purchase a car, building, or piece of equipment, it doesn't maintain its original value forever—wear and tear, obsolescence, and market conditions cause it to decline. Depreciation lets you recognize this loss in value over time, which is critical for both accounting accuracy…from mydepreciation.org

    Hey everyone, I built Indiebooks.io . A free bookkeeping app that automatically organizes your finances and fills out CRA/IRS tax forms for you.

    As I couldn't find a proper web based open source tool that could help me with my bookkeeping, I spend a week to built one myself. It's based on laravel and provides revenue, expenses, travel allowance and depreciation sections. Everything is then merged to an annual statement, that can be exported as a pdf and used for tax filing. It's far away from perfect (no tests yet), but I would be happy to hear what you think about it and maybe find someone to join in.

  • I built a tool to show how much ARR you lose to FX feesApr 2026 · fixmyfx.com · ▲5

    Hey HN, I started my career as a finance manager, transitioned into product management, and now I’m building my own products. Back in my finance days, while managing a £6M budget, I uncovered a £15k leak hiding in plain sight: FX fees. Today, I see solo founders making the exact same mistake. I realised most founders are quietly losing 2-5% of their revenue to what I call the Lazy Tax: - Stripe's ~2% auto-conversion fee on inbound revenue, - plus their local bank's ~3% spread when paying for global SaaS tools (AWS, Claude, Ads). So I built FixMyFX to show founders their exact leak and how to…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
