Mining Profitability Calculator
Estimate daily, monthly, and yearly mining profit — after electricity and pool fees.
How to Use
- Enter the coin you plan to mine — coin price autofills with a recent reference.
- Enter your rig's hash rate with the correct unit (TH/s for ASIC, MH/s for older GPU).
- Enter power draw in watts (from the manufacturer spec sheet) and your electricity rate in $/kWh.
- Set your pool fee (typically 1%-3%) and the hardware cost you paid for the rig.
- Read the daily / monthly / yearly profit and the days until break-even.
Calculation Method
We normalize hash rate to TH/s, apply a rough BTC per TH per day proxy (≈ 0.00000620 for BTC at current difficulty), then subtract pool fee and electricity:
daily_coin = hash_th × 0.00000620 // network-difficulty proxy
daily_revenue = daily_coin × coin_price
daily_pool_fee = daily_revenue × pool_fee_pct ÷ 100
daily_power = (power_watts ÷ 1000) × 24 × electricity_rate
daily_profit = daily_revenue − daily_pool_fee − daily_power
break_even = hardware_cost ÷ daily_profit (days)
- hash_th
- — hash rate converted to TH/s (GH/s ÷ 1,000, MH/s ÷ 1,000,000).
- 0.00000620
- — BTC mined per TH per day at recent BTC network difficulty.
- pool_fee_pct
- — operator's cut, typically 1%-3%.
- electricity_rate
- — your delivered cost per kWh (US avg ≈ $0.16, industrial ≈ $0.07).

Examples
Example 1 — Antminer S21 (200 TH/s) at home
200 TH/s, 3,500W, $0.16/kWh, 1% pool fee, $5,000 hardware, BTC at $68,450. Daily revenue ≈ 200 × 0.0000062 × $68,450 = $84.87. Power = (3.5 × 24 × 0.16) = $13.44. Pool fee ≈ $0.85. Daily profit ≈ $70.58. Break-even in roughly 71 days (~10 weeks).
Example 2 — Same rig with expensive power
Same setup but $0.30/kWh (CA residential peak). Power cost jumps to $25.20/day, daily profit falls to ≈ $58.82. Break-even stretches to ~85 days. If electricity were $0.45/kWh, the rig would run at a loss every day.
