How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the original purchase price of the ASIC or GPU when it was new.
  2. Set the hardware's age in months, its hashrate (TH/s), and its power draw (W).
  3. Enter the current top model's hashrate for comparison and select the market condition (1 = deep bear to 5 = strong bull).
  4. Review the estimated fair market value, low/high estimate range, and total depreciation percentage.
  5. Use the value per TH/s and remaining useful life estimates to price used equipment listings or evaluate purchases from secondary markets.

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

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Original purchase price ($) = 5000, Age (months) = 18, Hashrate (TH/s) = 110, Power draw (W) = 3250 = 6 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Estimated value
    Estimated value = baseFMV * techRatio * marketMultiplier
    1286.39 = $1,286.39
  3. Calculate Low estimate
    Low estimate = adjustedFMV * 0.80
    1029.11 = $1,029.11
  4. Calculate High estimate
    High estimate = adjustedFMV * 1.20
    1543.67 = $1,543.67
