Question 1

Is a sauna blanket the same as a cabin sauna medically?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly—temperature, humidity, and duration differ. This calculator is financial (TCO), not medical. Consult your clinician before heat therapy, especially if you are pregnant, dehydrated, or have cardiovascular conditions.

Question 2

How do I estimate kWh per session?

Accepted Answer

Check your device manual or label for wattage and multiply by hours of use, then divide by 1000 for kWh. Example: 1500W for 0.5h = 0.75 kWh. Infrared blankets often fall in a wide range—your manual is authoritative.

Question 3

Why include commute cost for the gym?

Accepted Answer

If you would not visit the gym for sauna only, allocate a share of the trip. If sauna is bundled into a workout you already do, you might zero out commute or use a lower per-trip share—this model lets you decide.

Question 4

What about maintenance and replacement?

Accepted Answer

Home devices may need pad covers or controller replacement; gyms bundle maintenance into dues. We include a small optional monthly maintenance line for home use. Extend horizon in inputs if you amortize device cost beyond the window.

Question 5

Does gym price include full membership?

Accepted Answer

Enter only the incremental add-on attributed to sauna/wellness (e.g., upgraded tier or spa add-on). If sauna is included in base membership, use your full base fee only if you would pay it primarily for sauna.

Question 6

Is this fitness or tax advice?

Accepted Answer

Neither. It is a household budgeting illustration. Utility rates and club pricing vary by market.
