How to calculate the estimated net salvage value of intangible assets?

Intangible assets generally have no residual value, unless a third party promises to buy them at a certain price at the end of their service life, or there is an active market for the assets, and from the current situation, there can be residual value when the market exists at the end of their service life.

Monthly depreciation amount = original value X( 1- net salvage value rate)/(depreciation period X 12) accumulated depreciation = monthly depreciation amount x use month (calculated from the second month of the purchase month, that is, the current month is not counted) net value = original value-accumulated depreciation.
