How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the original purchase price of the ASIC or GPU when it was new.
- Set the hardware's age in months, its hashrate (TH/s), and its power draw (W).
- Enter the current top model's hashrate for comparison and select the market condition (1 = deep bear to 5 = strong bull).
- Review the estimated fair market value, low/high estimate range, and total depreciation percentage.
- Use the value per TH/s and remaining useful life estimates to price used equipment listings or evaluate purchases from secondary markets.
How the result changes with Age (months)
| Age (months) | Estimated value ($) |
|---|---|
| 12 | $1,819.23 |
| 42 | $321.60 |
| 78 | $40.20 |
| 108 | $7.11 |
What each input means
- Original purchase price ($)
- What the hardware cost when new.
- Age (months)
- How many months since the hardware was purchased.
- Hashrate (TH/s)
- The unit's hashrate in terahashes per second.
- Power draw (W)
- Wall power consumption in watts.
- Current top model hashrate (TH/s)
- Hashrate of the latest-generation competing model for comparison.
- Market condition (1-5)
- Current crypto market sentiment: 1 = deep bear, 3 = neutral, 5 = strong bull.
What each result means
- Estimated value ($)
- Fair market value estimate for the used hardware.
- Low estimate ($)
- Conservative lower bound (quick sale price).
- High estimate ($)
- Optimistic upper bound (patient seller).
- Total depreciation (%)
- Percentage of original value lost.
- Avg monthly depreciation ($)
- Average dollar depreciation per month of ownership.
- Value per TH/s ($)
- Current value per terahash — useful for comparing different models.
- Efficiency (J/TH)
- Energy efficiency of this unit. Latest gen: ~21 J/TH.
- Est. remaining useful life (mo)
- Estimated months of remaining economic usefulness (based on ~4 year ASIC lifecycle).
How this is calculated
Worked example, using the default values
- Identify Input Parameters4 parametersOriginal purchase price ($) = 5000, Age (months) = 18, Hashrate (TH/s) = 110, Power draw (W) = 3250 = 6 input(s) provided
- Calculate Estimated valueEstimated value = baseFMV * techRatio * marketMultiplier1286.39 = $1,286.39
- Calculate Low estimateLow estimate = adjustedFMV * 0.801029.11 = $1,029.11
- Calculate High estimateHigh estimate = adjustedFMV * 1.201543.67 = $1,543.67
