The method
How it is worked out
- network hash rate
- Total mining power; rises over time, cutting your share
Estimate daily and monthly mining profit from hash rate, power draw, electricity price and pool fee. The result updates as you type so you can compare scenarios quickly.
The method
Keep in mind
Use the calculator to compare scenarios rather than as a guaranteed forecast.
Estimate what a mining rig earns a day and a month from hash rate, power, electricity price and pool fee, and when it pays back.
Your share of network hash rate times daily blocks times the reward, less the pool fee, gives coins a day. Electricity is watts times 24 hours at your price. Hardware payback divides cost by daily profit.
200 TH/s drawing 3,500 W at 12p per kWh on a 700 EH/s network with a 3.125 reward at £60,000 earns about £5.60 a day and burns £10 of power: a loss.

The core calculation or transformation runs in your browser. Normal website security and analytics may still record page-level events, but the tool does not need to create a public record from your inputs.
Ignoring difficulty growth, which erodes output every month. Using a marketing electricity price rather than the bill. Forgetting cooling, hosting and hardware resale value.
No. Use the result as a practical check or planning aid and verify important decisions with the relevant primary source, provider or professional advice.
