Using the Crypto Mining Profitability Calculator
Enter your inputs above and compare the result with the worked example. Review the assumptions before applying it to a trade, portfolio or tax return.
Worked example
Use the example inputs below to reproduce this result. These are the form's starting values, not recommended targets. Changing your inputs updates your result above; this worked example stays fixed for comparison. Results are rounded for display.
Example inputs
- Currency (use for all money amounts)
- USD
- Miner hashrate (TH/s)
- 200
- Network hashrate (EH/s)
- 800
- Expected blocks per day
- 144
- Coins per block including fees
- 3.2
- Coin price
- 95000
- Miner power (watts)
- 3500
- Electricity price per kWh
- 0.1
- Uptime (%)
- 95
- Pool fee (%)
- 2
- Hardware and setup cost
- 3500
Example result
- Expected coins per day
- 0.0001072512
- Daily revenue (USD)
- 10.188864
- Daily electricity cost (USD)
- 7.98
- Daily operating profit (USD)
- 2.208864
- Hardware payback (days)
- 1,584.5249
Method and assumptions
Expected coins = miner share of network hashrate × daily blocks × coins per block × uptime × (1 − pool fee). Electricity = kW × operating hours × unit price. Payback assumes constant difficulty, rewards and prices and excludes taxes and cooling.

How to interpret crypto estimates
Use prices and costs in the same currency. Market observations are venue-specific. Hypothetical returns are scenarios, and historical observations do not predict future prices. These tools provide educational estimates and do not constitute investment or tax advice.
Common question
Does payback mean the hardware is profitable?
Payback assumes today’s inputs persist. Changing network hashrate, coin price, downtime or block rewards can change the result substantially.
