How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the mining hardware hashrate and power consumption in watts.
  2. Set current coin price and network difficulty.
  3. Input the hardware purchase price.
  4. Review the maximum electricity rate at which mining remains profitable.
  5. Compare to your actual rate -- if your rate exceeds the break-even rate, mining is unprofitable.

How the result changes with Power consumption (W)

Power consumption (W)Break-even rate ($/kWh)Daily revenue ($)
10,0010.02$5.19
35,0010.01$5.19
65,0000$5.19
90,0000$5.19

What each input means

Hashrate (TH/s)
Your miner's hashrate in terahashes per second (e.g., Antminer S19 Pro = 110 TH/s).
Power consumption (W)
Wall power draw of your mining hardware in watts.
Block reward
Current block reward (BTC: 3.125 after 2024 halving).
Coin price ($)
Current market price of the coin being mined in USD.
Network difficulty (T)
Current network mining difficulty in trillions (e.g., 80T for Bitcoin).

What each result means

Break-even rate ($/kWh)
Maximum electricity price where mining still breaks even. If your rate is below this, you profit.
Daily revenue ($)
Gross daily mining revenue before electricity costs.
Daily consumption (kWh)
Kilowatt-hours consumed per day.
Monthly revenue ($)
Gross monthly mining revenue (30 days).
Efficiency (J/TH)
Energy efficiency of your hardware. Lower is better (modern ASICs: 20-35 J/TH).
Daily profit @ $0.05/kWh
Net daily profit at cheap industrial electricity rate.
Daily profit @ $0.10/kWh
Net daily profit at US average residential rate.
Daily profit @ $0.15/kWh
Net daily profit at higher residential rate.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Hashrate (TH/s) = 110, Power consumption (W) = 3250, Block reward = 3.125, Coin price ($) = 60000 = 5 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Break-even rate
    0.0665 = 0.0665
  3. Calculate Daily revenue
    Daily revenue = dailyCoins * coinPrice
    5.19 = $5.19
  4. Calculate Daily consumption
    Daily consumption = (powerWatts * 24) / 1000
    78 = 78
  5. Calculate Monthly revenue
    Monthly revenue = dailyRevenue * 30
    155.59 = $155.59
