A contra account is a separate account that synchronizes with the original account to show the decrease in value.

Contra accounts are used to reduce the balance of the related account, and they typically have a balance that is opposite to the normal balance of that account. For example, accumulated depreciation is a contra asset account that reduces the total value of fixed assets.
