Crypto Mining Profitability Calculator

Calculate mining profitability after electricity and hardware costs.

About Crypto Mining Profitability Calculator

Electricity is the dominant ongoing cost, so profitability hinges on the local tariff more than on hardware efficiency. Revenue also falls as network difficulty rises, which this snapshot does not project. Difficulty tends to rise over time while revenue per unit of hashrate falls, so a break-even beyond a year rarely materialises as calculated.

Formula

Crypto Mining Profitability

Daily profit = revenue × (1 − pool fee) − power × 24 ÷ 1,000 × electricity price

pool fee
Deducted from gross mining revenue
break-even
Hardware cost divided by daily profit

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 5 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 3 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
  • This is an illustrative calculation using figures you supply, not financial advice. Mining revenue depends on volatile asset prices and rising network difficulty, and returns can be substantially worse than a static projection suggests.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Crypto Mining Profitability calculated?

Daily profit = revenue × (1 − pool fee) − power × 24 ÷ 1,000 × electricity price Electricity is the dominant ongoing cost, so profitability hinges on the local tariff more than on hardware efficiency. Revenue also falls as network difficulty rises, which this snapshot does not project.

Why does Crypto Mining Profitability matter?

Difficulty tends to rise over time while revenue per unit of hashrate falls, so a break-even beyond a year rarely materialises as calculated.

What values do I need to enter?

This calculator takes 5 inputs: Daily gross revenue, Power draw, Electricity price per kWh, Hardware cost, Pool fee. The pre-filled defaults are a realistic starting point — replace them with figures from your own environment for a result you can act on.
