What Is the Crypto Mining Profitability Calculator?
This calculator estimates how much money a cryptocurrency mining rig can earn after electricity costs. It works for any proof-of-work coin (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero and others) as long as you enter the network's parameters using consistent units. Mining profitability shifts constantly with coin price, network difficulty and your power bill, so the result is a snapshot, not a guarantee.
How to Use It
Enter your rig's hashrate and the total network hashrate in the same unit (for example both in H/s, or both in TH/s). Add the current block reward, the average number of blocks per day (Bitcoin \(\approx 144\)), the live coin price in USD, your rig's power draw in kilowatts, and your electricity rate per kWh. The calculator returns daily profit plus monthly and yearly projections.
The Formula Explained
Your share of the network equals your hashrate divided by total network hashrate. Multiply that share by the daily coin issuance (block reward × blocks per day) to get coins mined per day, then by coin price for daily revenue. Electricity cost is power (kW) × 24 hours × rate. Profit is revenue minus electricity cost:
$$\text{Daily Profit} = \left( \frac{H}{N} \cdot R \cdot B \cdot P \right) - \left( K \cdot 24 \cdot E \right)$$
Worked Example
Suppose your rig does 100 TH/s on a 500 EH/s Bitcoin network (so share = \(100\mathrm{e}12 \div 500\mathrm{e}18 = 2\mathrm{e}{-7}\)). With a 3.125 BTC block reward, 144 blocks/day, and a $65,000 price, daily revenue $$\approx 2\mathrm{e}{-7} \times 3.125 \times 144 \times 65{,}000 \approx \$5.85.$$ If your rig draws 3.5 kW at $0.12/kWh, electricity costs $$3.5 \times 24 \times 0.12 = \$10.08/\text{day}.$$ Net daily profit \(\approx -\$4.23\) — a loss under these conditions.
FAQ
Does this include pool fees or hardware cost? No. It models revenue minus electricity only. Subtract pool fees (typically 1–2%) and amortized hardware cost separately for a full picture.
Why is my profit negative? High electricity rates or low coin prices push mining into a loss. Lower your power cost or wait for more favorable market conditions.
What units should I use for hashrate? Any unit works as long as your hashrate and network hashrate use the same one, because the calculation only uses their ratio.
