| Average age ratio | As long as straight-line depreciation is used, this is an accurate estimate of asset age as a percentage of depreciable life. The relative age is a useful measure of whether the company fixed asset base is old or new. Newer assets are likely to be more efficient. | Ecolab Inc. average age ratio of depreciable property, plant and equipment deteriorated from 2019 to 2020 and from 2020 to 2021. |
| Estimated total useful life | Over longer time periods, this ratio is a useful measure of company depreciation policy and can be used for comparisons with competitors. | Ecolab Inc. estimated total useful life of depreciable property, plant and equipment decreased from 2019 to 2020 but then increased from 2020 to 2021 not reaching 2019 level. |
| Estimated time elapsed since purchase | The approximate age in years of a company fixed assets. Useful for comparison purposes. | Ecolab Inc. estimated time elapsed since purchase of depreciable property, plant and equipment improved from 2019 to 2020 but then deteriorated significantly from 2020 to 2021. |
