The Math Before the Bet

A financial advisor charges $200/hr to tell you “it depends.” SaylorScope gives you the actual numbers for your situation.

19-21%
CAGR needed

to break even on a 7% HELOC over 5 years

12-13%
CAGR needed

for the same HELOC over 10 years — time is leverage

25%+
CAGR needed

for a 15% personal loan — the math gets hostile fast

These are general figures. Your numbers depend on your assets, debts, and cash flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SaylorScope?
SaylorScope is a Bitcoin leverage calculator that models your complete financial picture — assets, debts, income, and expenses — against leverage scenarios like HELOCs, margin loans, and cash-out refinances. It calculates break-even timelines, minimum profitable CAGR, and stress-tests scenarios against 50-80% Bitcoin drawdowns.
Is it safe to leverage my home to buy Bitcoin?
That depends on your financial profile, risk tolerance, and time horizon. Using a HELOC or cash-out refinance puts your home as collateral. SaylorScope helps you quantify the risk by showing the minimum Bitcoin CAGR needed to break even and what happens during severe drawdowns, but the decision is yours. It is not financial advice.
What CAGR does Bitcoin need for leverage to work?
It depends on your interest rate and time horizon. At a 7-8% HELOC rate, Bitcoin typically needs at least 19-21% CAGR over 5 years to break even. Over 10 years, the required CAGR drops to 12-13%. Higher-rate loans like personal loans (12-20%) require Bitcoin CAGR of 25%+ to be profitable.
Is my financial data private?
Yes. Your financial data is processed locally in your browser and sent to AI for analysis but is never stored on our servers. We cannot see, access, or sell your financial information. The data exists only during your active session.
How much does SaylorScope cost?
Your first analysis is completely free — no credit card required. After that, additional analyses require credits which can be purchased through our pricing page. This lets you run updated scenarios as your financial situation or market conditions change.
What leverage strategies does SaylorScope analyze?
SaylorScope models 8 leverage strategies: HELOC (home equity line of credit), cash-out mortgage refinance, margin loans against brokerage accounts, Bitcoin-backed loans, 401k loans, personal loans, securities-backed lines of credit (SBLOC), and the Saylor Strategy adapted for personal finance.
