Mining profitability calculator
Estimate mining revenue, electricity and operating costs from your own daily-output assumptions. Compare operating profit with hardware payback.
Inputs
Hypothetical example. Replace these inputs with your own.

- 90.6 USD/day
- Daily revenue after pool fee
- 98 USD/day
- Daily electricity cost
- 2.4 USD/day
- Daily electricity and operating costs
- 7.4 USD/day
- Daily coins after uptime and pool fee

- Daily active energy consumption
- 24 kWh/day
- Hardware payback period
- 11.037528 days
- Coin price to cover daily costs
- 7,551.02040816 USD/coin
- Operating profit / loss over the horizon
- 33,069 USD
- Horizon result after hardware cost
- 32,069 USD
- Horizon return on hardware cost
- 3,206.9 %
- The entered coin yield is per day at 100% uptime. Uptime scales yield and active electrical consumption. Other daily operating costs are paid on every calendar day.
- Yield, coin price and costs stay constant over the selected horizon. Supply realistic yield assumptions; this model does not infer yield from hash rate or network difficulty.
- Idle power draw, halvings, depreciation, tax, resale value and financing are excluded. These estimates do not guarantee a payout.

Formula and worked example
Daily revenue = full-uptime output × uptime × (1 − pool fee) × price. Electricity = active watts / 1,000 × 24 × uptime × USD/kWh. Profit subtracts electricity and calendar-day operating costs. Payback = hardware cost / positive daily profit.
Hypothetical example: 0.001 coins/day at $100,000, 1,000 W, $0.10/kWh, full uptime, 2% pool fee and $5 other daily costs give $98 revenue and $90.60 daily operating profit. $1,000 hardware takes about 11.04 days to recover under these constant assumptions. Difficulty, output changes, downtime power, tax, resale and financing are excluded.
These estimates use bounded decimal arithmetic. They are scenario calculations, not trading instructions or forecasts.
