Calculator appendix
Need the deeper context?
The calculator stays focused on sizing. These notes keep cost, risk, and next-step context short.
Is this a lender quote?
No. It is a modeled estimate using checked lender data and the BTC price benchmark loaded for the session.
What should I compare after sizing?
Compare APR, fees, LTV, custody model, margin-call room, jurisdiction, and lender safety before applying.
What is the biggest calculator risk?
Liquidation. A low monthly interest estimate can still be dangerous if the LTV leaves too little BTC drawdown buffer.
When should I lower the request?
Lower it when LTV rises above conservative ranges, few lenders qualify, or monthly interest would force future BTC sales.
