Tool & Editorial Disclaimer

Carvago is an independent educational planning website. It does not provide personalised professional advice, live fuel or electricity quotes, lender offers or verified car valuations.

Fuel estimates

Fuel cost uses distance, km/L and the entered price per litre. Tolls, parking and other travel expenses are excluded. Traffic, weather, load, terrain and vehicle condition can change actual use.

Loan estimates

The loan model assumes a fixed nominal rate, equal end-of-month payments and full amortisation. Fees, taxes, insurance, balloon payments and variable rates are excluded. Lender rounding and contract terms may differ.

Ownership budgets

The ownership tool totals annual running expenses. It excludes purchase price, depreciation, finance principal and interest. It should not be presented as a complete economic total-cost-of-ownership calculation.

Depreciation scenarios

A constant reducing-balance rate is an assumption selected by the user. The model is not a market appraisal and does not reflect inspection results, specific demand, condition or vehicle history.

EV charging estimates

The EV model accounts for a user-entered efficiency and constant effective charger input power. Actual charging curves, thermal conditions, tariffs and supply limits may differ. It does not assess installation or electrical safety.
