What asset depletion income actually means

Asset depletion, sometimes called asset utilization or asset dissipation, is a way to estimate monthly income from eligible liquid assets. Instead of relying only on W-2s or tax-return income, a lender may review assets and divide eligible balances over a set number of months.

Why 36, 60, and 84 months matter

The shorter the depletion period, the higher the estimated monthly income. The longer the period, the more conservative the estimate. Different programs may use different periods and asset treatment, which is why the same borrower can look very different depending on the structure.

Which borrowers use this?

This can be useful for retirees, founders after a liquidity event, high-net-worth borrowers, investors, business owners with low taxable income, and borrowers whose assets tell a stronger story than their tax returns.

Which assets usually need a closer review

Retirement accounts, business accounts, recently deposited funds, gifted balances, and accounts in trust or LLC ownership often need additional review. Account ownership, seasoning, liquidity restrictions, and tax treatment can all change how an asset is counted — or whether it is counted at all.
