Methodology and assumptions
Your hourly wage, work schedule and target price are inputs you control. This tool does not estimate local median wages or living costs.
Historical mode holds your current wage and target price constant while comparing cash savings with historical Bitcoin prices. Future scenarios depend on your selected inflation, contribution growth and Bitcoin model assumptions.
Results are illustrative only. They exclude tax, fees, debt, depreciation and real changes in local purchasing power.
FAQ
Questions people ask
How does this calculator turn a goal into work hours?
It uses your wage, work schedule, target price and monthly contribution to compare the labor needed for cash saving with the selected Bitcoin scenario. It does not estimate your local wage or cost of living.
What changes between historical and projection modes?
Historical mode holds your current wage and target price constant while applying past Bitcoin prices. Projection mode depends on your inflation, contribution-growth and Bitcoin-model assumptions, so it is especially sensitive to inputs.
What important costs are excluded from the comparison?
The model excludes taxes, fees, debt, depreciation and real changes in wages or local purchasing power. It is an educational scenario tool, not a claim that either savings approach will meet a goal.
