Crypto Mining Profitability Calculator
Calculate mining revenue, electricity cost and payback period on hardware.
Please note: Cryptocurrency is highly volatile and can lose value rapidly. All prices are entered manually — no live market data is used. Nothing here is investment advice.
What the Crypto Mining Profitability Calculator does
Mining profitability is revenue from your share of block rewards minus electricity cost. Your share is your hashrate divided by the network total — a figure that shrinks continuously as the network grows, which is why payback calculations based on today's difficulty are optimistic.
Formula
Network share = Your hashrate ÷ Network hashrateCoins per day = Blocks per day × Block reward × Share × (1 − Pool fee)Electricity cost = (Watts ÷ 1000) × 24 × Cost per kWhProfit = Revenue − Electricity cost

Worked example
100 TH/s on a 600,000,000 TH/s network, 3.125 BTC reward, 10-minute blocks, BTC at $60,000, 3,000 W at $0.10/kWh.
- Hashrate
- 100
- Network
- 600000000
- Reward
- 3.125
- Price
- 60000
- Power
- 3000
- Electricity
- 0.10
About 0.000074 BTC a day, roughly $4.46 revenue against $7.20 of power — a loss at these rates.
Frequently asked questions
What electricity price makes mining viable?
It depends entirely on hardware efficiency and coin price. Industrial miners typically need power below $0.05/kWh; residential rates rarely work for Bitcoin.
Why does difficulty matter so much?
Difficulty adjusts so blocks arrive at a constant rate. As more hashrate joins, your share falls proportionally — the same hardware earns less over time.
