For infinite-horizon replacement economy problems it is common practice to truncate the problem at some finite horizon. The authors develop bounds on the error due to such a truncation. These bounds differ from previous results in that they include both revenues and costs. Bounds are illustrated through a numerical example from a real case in vehicle replacement.
