Model first-year positive cash flow when pairing write-offs with equipment loans
Businesses are permitted to deduct 100% of an eligible asset's cost in Year 1 even if the asset is financed with a small down payment. If your tax savings exceed your down payment and the first 12 monthly loan payments, your business achieves positive net cash flow on the acquisition in Year 1.
Positive values indicate cash tax reduction exceeds Year 1 loan payments.
