The five major methods for providing depreciation in accounting are straight-line depreciation, declining balance depreciation, units of production depreciation, sum-of-the-years'-digits depreciation, and double declining balance depreciation. Straight-line depreciation allocates an equal expense each year, while declining balance methods, including double declining balance, accelerate depreciation in the earlier years. Units of production ties depreciation to the asset's usage, and sum-of-the-years'-digits emphasizes earlier expenses but at a decreasing rate over time. Each method affects financial statements and tax liabilities differently, depending on the asset's nature and usage.

Please note that in order to charge depreciation, we must know the expected life of the subject so as to distribute the cost of the stock over that period.
