Our math, transparently: Electricity assumed at $0.13/kWh national average (EIA) × sauna power draw × 45-min sessions × 4 sessions per week. Affirm financing estimated at ~10% APR over 36 months, your rate may differ. Excludes maintenance (minimal for first 5 years), and electrical install for outdoor or 240V units. Day spa average of $35/session reflects national mid-market pricing; gym wellness comparison uses $150/mo for a sauna-equipped fitness facility. Resale value of the sauna is not included in savings, it's a bonus.
