Estimate Daily, Monthly, and Yearly Mining Profit
Enter your rig and market assumptions to estimate mining revenue, electricity cost, net profit, and break-even time.
How this mining profitability calculator works
This tool estimates expected mining returns using a straightforward share-of-network model. Your machine contributes a fraction of the total network hashrate. That fraction determines your expected share of block rewards. Once gross revenue is estimated, the calculator subtracts pool fees and electricity costs to produce a net profit estimate.
The goal is not to predict the future perfectly. Instead, it gives you a practical framework for comparing scenarios: different power rates, equipment efficiency, coin prices, and network competition.
Core formula used
Expected coins per day = (your hashrate / network hashrate) × blocks per day × block reward × uptime factor.
Blocks per day = 86,400 / block time (in seconds).
Net daily profit = (coins per day × coin price) - pool fees - electricity costs.
Input fields explained
- Miner Hashrate (TH/s): Your rig's advertised or measured performance.
- Power Draw (W): Average wall power usage, not just ASIC spec-sheet number.
- Electricity Price: Your real all-in cost per kWh including delivery charges.
- Coin Price: Current market price for the mined coin.
- Block Reward: Number of coins paid to miners per block.
- Block Time: Average seconds between blocks.
- Network Hashrate (EH/s): Total global mining power for that network.
- Pool Fee: Percentage taken by your mining pool.
- Uptime: Realistic availability after reboots, downtime, and maintenance.
- Hardware Cost: Purchase cost used to estimate break-even timing.
Why miners should model multiple scenarios
Mining profitability is highly sensitive to market and network conditions. A setup that looks excellent today can weaken quickly if coin price drops, difficulty rises, or power costs increase. Use this calculator to run best-case, base-case, and worst-case assumptions before committing capital.
Scenario ideas to test
- Coin price down 20% with network hashrate up 15%.
- Electricity increases from $0.07 to $0.12 per kWh.
- Uptime improves from 95% to 99% after better cooling and monitoring.
- Pool fee decreases from 2.5% to 1.0% by changing pools.
Practical ways to improve mining returns
1) Lower your energy cost first
Power cost is usually the largest recurring expense. Even small reductions in $/kWh can have a big impact on long-term margins. If possible, negotiate commercial rates, optimize your tariff schedule, or mine during lower-cost periods where available.
2) Increase efficiency (J/TH)
More efficient hardware earns more net profit per unit of hashrate. New-generation miners often outperform older models significantly, especially in moderate-to-high electricity markets.
3) Maintain high uptime
Every hour offline reduces expected output. Stable networking, proper airflow, clean power delivery, and proactive monitoring can materially improve yearly profitability.
4) Track fee structure and payout method
Pool fee percentages and payout systems (PPS, FPPS, PPLNS) can influence realized returns. Compare net payouts over time, not just headline fee numbers.
Limits and assumptions
This calculator is intentionally simple and transparent. It does not include taxes, repair costs, hosting fees, cooling overhead, stale shares, financing costs, halving events, or dynamic difficulty changes over time. Treat it as a planning baseline rather than a guarantee.
Final takeaway
A profitable mining operation is rarely about one variable. It is the combined effect of hashrate efficiency, electricity cost, uptime discipline, and market timing. Use the calculator regularly, update your assumptions often, and make decisions with a margin of safety.
