Default calculating costs of a spa

And mostly it depends on how well the body of water is insulated from
the exterior. An outdoor tub in a cold climate will loose more heat
over time than an indoor tub in an insulated room.

Under certain circumstances, for an indoor tub, the heat gain in the
room can be seen as adding to the overall heat gain of your house. In
other words, your paying to heat the tub, but the entrophy heat is
released into the house and may be considered to be "free" heat, at
least during the winter months.
