Depreciation itself does not affect cash flow. After all, depreciation is a noncash entry that reflects the reduction in value of a long-lived asset. It has no direct cash flow effects.

However, because depreciation is tax-deductible, it can reduce a company's tax provision. Therefore, to the extent that depreciation reduces taxes, it provides a cash flow benefit. To compute the benefit in any given year, multiply the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) depreciation on the asset by the company's marginal tax rate.
