Méthode d'amortissement dont la proportionnalité est constante par rapport à l'unité de temps choisie (généralement une année). Selon cette méthode, la dotation est linéaire et on impute à chaque année un montant égal au quotient de l'assiette de l'amortissement (la somme à amortir) par le nombre d'années correspondant à la durée probable d'utilisation du bien en cause, ce qui donne une annuité d'amortissement qui est toujours la même d'une année à l'autre. 2, record 3, French, - amortissement%20constant
