Estimate daily and monthly profit for proof-of-work mining based on your hash rate, network hash rate, block reward, electricity cost, and pool fee — plus hardware break-even and break-even electricity price.
Enter your mining setup and calculate to see profitability
The crypto mining calculator on this page estimates how much profit a proof-of-work mining setup can earn by balancing what you mine against what it costs to mine it. Acting as a mining profitability calculator and hash rate calculator in one, it takes your hash rate, the network's total hash rate, the block reward, block time, coin price, pool fee, and electricity cost, and turns them into a daily and monthly profit estimate — plus the hardware break-even period and the break-even electricity price at which profit hits zero.
The calculator derives your expected share of the network, multiplies it by the blocks found per day and the block reward, then removes the pool fee to get a daily coin reward. From there it computes daily and monthly revenue (reward × coin price), daily and monthly electricity cost (power draw in kilowatts × 24 hours × your $/kWh rate), and net profit. If you provide a hardware cost, it also estimates how many days of that profit it takes to pay back the equipment, and it back-solves for the electricity price at which your daily revenue would exactly cover your power bill.
It's built for hobbyist GPU miners checking whether a rig still earns, ASIC owners evaluating a new generation of hardware, mining operators comparing power contracts, and anyone modeling a small mining fleet before committing capital. It's equally useful for students and researchers learning how proof-of-work economics actually work, since it makes the network-share, difficulty, and electricity math concrete rather than buried in a mining pool's payout dashboard.
Mining margins are thin and move fast. Electricity is usually the single largest controllable cost, so knowing your break-even electricity price tells you immediately whether a given power contract or region makes sense. Meanwhile network hash rate (difficulty) and coin price are the two variables entirely outside your control — both can erase a profitable setup within days. Running the numbers before buying hardware, and re-running them periodically afterward, helps you catch a shift from profit to loss before it costs you real money. This mirrors how infrastructure teams already budget compute and network costs with tools like a GPU Cost Calculator or Cloud Cost Calculator: estimate first, commit second.
How this crypto mining calculator turns hash rate, block reward, and electricity cost into a dollar figure
All hash rates are normalized to hashes per second (TH/s × 10¹², GH/s × 10⁹, MH/s × 10⁶) before the share is computed, so the two sides of the ratio are always unit-consistent. The break-even electricity price is the $/kWh rate at which daily revenue exactly equals daily electricity cost; break-even days is how long cumulative profit takes to cover the upfront hardware price.
Your expected share of new coins is simply your hash rate divided by the network's total hash rate. A 110 TH/s miner against a 600 PH/s network holds a 0.0183% share — every block reward is multiplied by that fraction before pool fees.
Convert power draw from watts to kilowatts, multiply by 24 hours, then by your rate. At 3,250 W and $0.10/kWh that is 78 kWh/day and $7.80/day — a small line item that becomes decisive at higher rates or lower coin prices.
Pool fees (typically 1–3%) come straight off your coin reward before conversion to dollars. The break-even electricity price and break-even days are the two "how bad can it get" outputs that tell you your margin of safety.
From entering your rig's hash rate to reading your projected daily profit
Type your miner's hash rate (e.g., 110 for a modern ASIC) and choose the matching unit — TH/s, GH/s, or MH/s. This is the computing power you contribute to the network.
Enter the total hash rate of all miners on the coin you're mining, from a current block explorer or network stats page. This is the single most important input to keep fresh.
Enter the coin's per-block reward (default 3.125, a post-halving Bitcoin-style reward), how many blocks the network finds per day (144 for ~10-minute block time), and the current coin price in USD.
Enter your hardware's power draw in watts and your electricity rate in $/kWh. Add any cooling or efficiency overhead to the power figure for a more realistic estimate.
Enter your mining pool's fee percentage (typically 1–3%). Optionally enter the hardware purchase price to enable the hardware break-even (ROI) calculation.

Using the calculator's own default scenario — 110 TH/s against a 600,000,000 GH/s network, 3.125 reward, 144 blocks/day, $65,000 coin, 3,250 W, $0.10/kWh, 1.5% pool fee
Suppose you run a single 110 TH/s ASIC against a network of 600,000,000 GH/s, on a coin with a 3.125-coin block reward found 144 times per day. Coin price is $65,000, the rig draws 3,250 W, electricity costs $0.10/kWh, and your pool charges a 1.5% fee.
Explanation: These defaults are deliberately illustrative placeholders, not real market values — the network hash rate here (600 PH/s) is far below a real Bitcoin-sized network, so the profit looks extreme. The math chain is what matters: your share of the network determines the coin reward, the coin reward times price determines revenue, and subtracting electricity leaves profit. In real use, replace the placeholder network hash rate and coin price with live values; on a realistic network the share, reward, and profit all shrink dramatically, which is exactly the sensitivity the comparison table below exposes.
What your daily profit figure and break-even electricity price actually imply
| Daily Profit Signal | What It Generally Means | Recommended Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| Strongly positive, break-even electricity well above your rate | Healthy margin with a wide safety buffer against rate or difficulty increases | Keep mining 24/7; consider locking in the electricity rate or modestly scaling up |
| Positive, break-even electricity above your rate | Profitable at today's inputs, but the buffer is thin | Re-check your all-in electricity rate and pool fee; monitor difficulty and price |
| Near zero, break-even electricity close to your rate | Marginal — a difficulty bump or small price drop flips you to a loss | Reduce power cost or pool fee; re-run with live data before relying on the number |
| Negative, but revenue still covers most of the electricity bill | Mining at a loss before hardware costs; only price or difficulty moves can rescue it | Hold off on expansion; consider shutting down during peak-rate hours |
| Negative, break-even electricity below your rate | Deeply unprofitable — revenue doesn't cover the power bill | Turn off the rig or switch coins; do not buy new hardware at these inputs |
If break-even electricity price is far above your actual rate: you have room to absorb electricity increases or a meaningful difficulty rise before profit turns negative. That buffer is your real margin of safety — a rig with a $0.15/kWh break-even against a $0.10 rate is far more robust than one breaking even at $0.105.
If break-even electricity price is close to or below your rate: the setup is marginal or already underwater. Small changes to pool fee, cooling, or hardware efficiency can matter more than a slightly cheaper coin price. Treat the result as a flag to re-check inputs, not a stable forecast.
These are point-in-time estimates. Because network hash rate, coin price, and electricity rates all drift, the same rig can swing from profitable to losing within weeks — re-run the calculator whenever any input changes materially.
This calculator provides planning estimates only. Actual mining results depend on live network hash rate, difficulty adjustments, pool luck, hardware efficiency, downtime, and your true electricity cost. Nothing here is financial advice — always verify with current live data before purchasing hardware or committing power.
