Formula Used
Your Hashrate ÷ Network Hashrate
86,400 ÷ Average Block Time
Network Share × Blocks per Day × Block Reward × Uptime
Gross Coins per Day × (1 − Pool Fee) × (1 − Stale Rate)
(Power Draw ÷ 1,000) × 24 × Uptime × Electricity Rate
Daily Revenue − Electricity Cost − Hosting Cost − Other Cost − Tax
When difficulty mode is selected, network hashrate is derived with Difficulty × 232 ÷ Block Time. This keeps the calculation flexible when a network shares difficulty instead of live hashrate.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the coin name, market price, and your preferred display currency.
- Add your miner hashrate, unit, and average power draw.
- Input electricity rate, pool fee, stale rate, uptime, and any daily operating costs.
- Choose either network hashrate mode or difficulty mode, then enter block reward and block time.
- Set hardware cost and a projection period to estimate ROI and recovery timing.
- Press Calculate Profit to show the result block above the form, then export the summary as CSV or PDF.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does this calculator estimate?
It estimates expected coin output, revenue, electricity cost, operating cost, daily net profit, annual ROI, payback days, and projected profit over your chosen horizon.
2. Why can results change so quickly?
Mining profit depends on coin price, block reward, difficulty, pool fees, network competition, electricity rates, and machine uptime. Small changes in these variables can materially shift the outcome.
3. When should I use difficulty mode?
Use difficulty mode when the network publicly reports difficulty but not a current hashrate value. The calculator converts difficulty into an estimated network hashrate using average block time.
4. Does the model include downtime?
Yes. Uptime lowers both production and electricity use. A machine running 95% of the day earns less and also consumes slightly less energy than one running continuously.
5. What is the break-even coin price?
It is the approximate coin price needed for daily mining revenue to cover daily operating costs. It does not automatically recover hardware cost unless projected profit remains positive long enough.
6. Does annual ROI include the machine price?
Annual ROI compares projected annual net profit with the initial hardware cost. It helps judge capital efficiency, but it still depends on static assumptions that may not hold for a full year.
7. Should I include hosting and other costs?
Yes. Hosting, maintenance, cooling, firmware services, and monitoring can materially affect profitability. Adding them produces a more realistic estimate than using electricity cost alone.
8. Is this a guarantee of mining returns?
No. It is a planning estimate. Real outcomes differ because price, difficulty, block rewards, downtime, market spreads, and policy changes can move unexpectedly.
