How It Works

This calculator estimates what a Bitcoin mining machine earns, what its electricity costs, and how long it takes to pay back the hardware. You enter the machine's hash rate in TH/s, its power draw in watts, your electricity rate, your pool fee and what the hardware cost.

Daily revenue is your share of the network's hash rate times the bitcoin issued per day: (your TH/s ÷ 1,111,000,000 TH/s) × 144 blocks × 3.125 BTC, minus the pool fee, converted to dollars at $71,000 per BTC. The network hash rate of 1,111 EH/s and the Bitcoin price are fixed in the calculator and cannot be edited, so compare them with a live source; the 3.125 BTC block subsidy has applied since the April 2024 halving. Transaction fees, which miners also collect, are left out. Electricity is watts ÷ 1,000 × 24 hours × your rate, and daily profit is revenue minus electricity. Months to break even are the hardware cost divided by 30 days of profit; when daily profit is zero or negative the calculator shows 'Never'.

Always factor in potential increases in network difficulty and future coin price volatility; these can significantly impact profitability. Don't forget to account for pool fees and hardware depreciation in your long-term projections. The block subsidy halves every 210,000 blocks; the next halving, to 1.5625 BTC at block 1,050,000, is expected around 2028, so a payback period that runs past it is too optimistic.

Example: A 100 TH/s Bitcoin Miner at the Default Inputs

  1. 1 Input: Hash Rate 100 TH/s, Power Consumption 3,250 W, Electricity Cost $0.10/kWh, Pool Fee 2%, Hardware Cost $5,000 (the calculator's defaults).
  2. 2 Revenue: 100 ÷ 1,111,000,000 × 144 × 3.125 = 0.0000405 BTC a day, or 0.00003969 BTC after the 2% pool fee. At the built-in $71,000 per BTC that is $2.82 a day.
  3. 3 Electricity: 3,250 ÷ 1,000 × 24 × $0.10 = $7.80 a day. Daily profit: $2.82 − $7.80 = −$4.98, or −$149.45 over 30 days, so Months to Break Even shows 'Never'.
  4. 4 This machine covers its power bill only below about 3.6¢ per kWh ($2.82 ÷ 78 kWh a day). At the U.S. average residential rate of 18.34¢ (EIA, June 2026) it would lose about $11.49 a day. A more efficient machine, or a Bitcoin price and network hash rate different from the built-in ones, can change the answer a lot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is crypto mining still profitable?
Profitability depends heavily on your electricity cost, hardware efficiency, and the current crypto price. With the Bitcoin price and network hash rate built into this calculator, its default 100 TH/s machine drawing 3,250 W covers its power bill only below about 3.6¢ per kWh, well under the U.S. average residential rate of 18.34¢ (EIA, June 2026). Many hobbyist miners operate at a loss after accounting for hardware and power costs.
How do I calculate mining profitability?
Subtract electricity cost (watts x hours x electricity rate) and hardware depreciation from daily mining revenue (based on hashrate and current difficulty/price). Online mining calculators automate this using your hashrate, power draw, and local electricity rate.
What is the biggest cost in crypto mining?
Electricity is the largest ongoing expense. Hardware is the largest upfront cost but is a one-time purchase. Cooling, maintenance, and internet are minor costs. Location (cheap power) is the most important factor for profitability.
