How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the current network hashrate in TH/s or EH/s.
  2. Set the expected new hashrate after difficulty adjustment.
  3. Input current block reward and coin price.
  4. Review the projected revenue change after the difficulty adjustment.
  5. Use the output to decide whether to expand, maintain, or temporarily shut down mining operations.

How the result changes with Power consumption (W)

Power consumption (W)New daily profit ($)Daily profit change ($)
10,001-$19.06-$0.25
35,001-$79.06-$0.25
65,000-$151.06-$0.25
90,000-$211.06-$0.25

What each input means

Your hashrate (TH/s)
Your mining hashrate in terahashes per second.
Power consumption (W)
Wall power draw of your mining hardware.
Current difficulty (T)
Current network difficulty in trillions.
Difficulty change (%)
Expected difficulty adjustment. Positive = increase (harder), negative = decrease (easier). BTC adjusts every ~2016 blocks.
Block reward
Current block reward (BTC: 3.125 post-2024 halving).
Coin price ($)
Current market price of the mined coin.
Electricity rate ($/kWh)
Your electricity cost per kilowatt-hour.

What each result means

Current daily profit ($)
Your daily profit at the current difficulty level.
New daily profit ($)
Projected daily profit after the difficulty adjustment.
Daily profit change ($)
How much your daily profit changes due to the difficulty adjustment.
Monthly profit change ($)
Monthly impact of the difficulty change on your bottom line.
Revenue change (%)
Percentage change in gross mining revenue.
Profit change (%)
Percentage change in net profit (amplified vs revenue change due to fixed electricity costs).
New difficulty (T)
Network difficulty after the adjustment.
Break-even difficulty (T)
Difficulty at which your operation hits zero profit.
Headroom to break-even (%)
How much difficulty can increase before you become unprofitable.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Your hashrate (TH/s) = 110, Power consumption (W) = 3250, Current difficulty (T) = 80, Difficulty change (%) = 5 = 7 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate New daily profit
    New daily profit = newDailyRevenue - dailyElectricity
    -2.86 = $-2.86
  3. Calculate Daily profit change
    Daily profit change = newDailyProfit - currentDailyProfit
    -0.25 = $-0.25
  4. Calculate Current daily profit
    Current daily profit = currentDailyRevenue - dailyElectricity
    -2.61 = $-2.61
  5. Calculate Monthly profit change
    Monthly profit change = dailyProfitDelta * 30
    -7.41 = $-7.41
