Planning assumptions: Defaults are examples, not current national averages or installation quotes. The power field uses an unambiguous catalog wattage where available; otherwise 2 kW is an editable assumption. Confirm your variant, combined heaters, duty cycle, and warm-up time. The default $0.17/kWh, 45 minutes, 4 home sessions/week, $600 upfront allowance, $0 annual maintenance, and $150/month gym comparison may differ substantially from your costs. Enter taxes, delivery, installation, and maintenance above. Savings assume you actually stop paying for the compared visits. No health benefit, resale value, property appreciation, or guaranteed payback is included.
Financing uses your APR over 36 months and includes the full loan interest in committed ownership cost from the start; the graph is not a monthly cash-flow schedule or a loan offer. Compare your actual terms. Cold plunges and chillers are excluded because their running costs need a different model.
These figures are estimates to help you plan, not a guarantee. Your real numbers depend on your electricity rate, how often you use your sauna, your financing terms, and your local install costs, so your results will vary. Nothing here is financial, tax, or professional advice. For HSA/FSA eligibility and financing, confirm the details with your own provider.
