What is Crypto Mining Profitability Calculator?
A Crypto Mining Profitability Calculator computes crypto mining profitability from the inputs you provide. It applies the standard formula to the values you enter and returns the result instantly, without sending any data to a server. Includes hardware payback period and current network values (snapshot 2026-05-14).
Crypto Mining Profitability Calculator
Compute daily, monthly, and yearly mining profit. Supports BTC (TH/s), LTC, DOGE, RVN, and ETC (MH/s). Includes hardware payback period.
TLDR
Mining profit = (your hashrate / network hashrate) * daily issuance * coin price - electricity - pool fees. With BTC at ~$95K, network hashrate ~700 EH/s, and the post-halving 3.125 BTC reward (snapshot date 2026-05-14), a 100 TH/s S19-class miner produces ~0.0000643 BTC/day = ~$6.10/day gross. Whether it is profitable depends almost entirely on your electricity rate. Refresh manually for live numbers from bitinfocharts.com or whattomine.com.
How to use this calculator
- Enter your inputs. Each field is labeled with its unit (dollars, percent, hash rate, etc.).
- Read the result instantly. Numbers update live as you type; no submit button.
- Stress-test by changing one input. Drop the rent 10%, raise the rate 1%, or shave the ARV. Watch what flips the verdict.
- Cross-check the formula below. Calculator math is open and matches the published formula exactly.
- Copy or screenshot for later. The site stores nothing; close the tab and inputs are gone.
About this tool + formula
Open math. The calculator runs entirely in your browser using the formula below. Nothing is sent to a server, nothing is logged, no signup required.
daily_coin = blocks_per_day * block_reward * (your_hashrate / network_hashrate) daily_revenue = daily_coin * coin_price_USD daily_electricity = (power_W / 1000) * 24 * electricity_cost_per_kWh daily_pool_fee = daily_revenue * pool_fee_pct daily_net = daily_revenue - daily_electricity - daily_pool_fee payback_months = hardware_cost / (daily_net * 30.4)
Real-world scenarios where this calculator helps
Buying an ASIC
Decide whether the new Antminer / Whatsminer model pays for itself before difficulty rises. Plug in the manufacturer's hashrate + power figures.
Comparing electricity locations
Same hardware, different power rates. Iceland geothermal at $0.04/kWh vs California residential at $0.30. The difference often turns net negative into solidly positive.
Side-mining altcoins
GPU rigs that mine RVN, ETC, or others when ETH switched to PoS. Run each coin to find the most profitable today.
Pool selection
Some pools take 1%, some 2.5%, some 0% with mandatory MEV. The pool fee field shows how much that costs you per year.
What this tool does
- Computes daily / monthly / yearly mining revenue for BTC, LTC, DOGE, RVN, and ETC.
- Applies your electricity cost and pool fee.
- Reports the profitability ratio (revenue / cost).
- Estimates hardware payback period if a hardware cost is provided.
- Issues a verdict: profitable, marginal, or unprofitable.
What it does NOT handle
- Doesn't pull live data. Network hashrate, price, and difficulty are hardcoded snapshots from 2026-05-14. Refresh manually.
- Doesn't model difficulty drift over time. Difficulty rises ~5-15% per quarter on average for BTC.
- Doesn't account for cooling costs, hosting fees, or maintenance.
- Doesn't include wear / replacement cost on power supplies, fans, or boards.
- Doesn't model halving. Bitcoin's next halving in ~2028 will cut rewards to 1.5625 BTC.
Common mistakes and pitfalls
- Using the manufacturer's 'efficiency' specs directly. Real-world watts often exceed nameplate by 5-10%.
- Forgetting cooling. Mining at home in a hot climate may add A/C load. Mining in winter offsets heating cost (sometimes net free heat).
- Picking the wrong hash unit. BTC is in TH/s, all altcoins in MH/s. Off-by-1000 errors crash your math.
- Assuming today's price holds. A 30% price drop turns most marginal miners net negative. Run with a stress-test price.
- Buying ASICs at cycle peak. Hashrate competition spikes after halvings; secondary-market prices fall hard if difficulty outpaces price gains.
Frequently asked questions
How is mining revenue calculated?
Your share of network hashrate * daily issuance * coin price. Daily issuance = blocks per day * block reward. Subtract pool fee + electricity to get net.
What is the BTC block reward in 2026?
3.125 BTC per block. Set at the April 2024 halving and stays until the next halving around April 2028 (then drops to 1.5625 BTC).
What is hashrate?
Hashrate = guesses per second a miner produces toward solving a block. Measured in TH/s (10^12) for BTC ASICs, MH/s (10^6) for altcoin GPUs.
Why does electricity cost matter so much?
For most home miners, electricity is the single largest expense. The break-even rate for an Antminer S19 XP at $95K BTC is around $0.10-$0.12/kWh. Above that, you mine at a loss.
What is a pool fee?
Mining pools combine many miners' hashrate to smooth payouts. Typical fee: 1-2% of mined coin. Some pools charge 0% but take MEV / extra rewards.
What is a profitability ratio?
Daily revenue divided by daily cost (electricity + pool fees). A ratio of 1.5x means revenue is 50% above cost. 1.0 = break even. Below 1.0 = losing money.
How does the halving affect mining?
Block reward halves overnight. Revenue per terahash drops by 50% the same day. Difficulty adjusts down over the following weeks if too many miners exit. High-cost miners typically capitulate.
What is the most profitable coin to mine in 2026?
Depends on your hardware and electricity. ASIC owners with cheap power: BTC. GPU rigs: rotate among RVN, ETC, ALPH, KAS based on whattomine.com daily.
Should I mine at home or use a hosting facility?
Home is fine for 1-2 ASICs if you have the electrical capacity, can dissipate the heat, and can tolerate the noise (75-85 dB). Hosting at $0.07-$0.09/kWh is competitive for serious miners with 5+ machines.
Are mining profits taxable?
Yes, in the US. Mining rewards are ordinary income at fair market value when received. Selling later triggers capital gains. Equipment cost can be depreciated. Talk to a crypto-tax pro for your specific country.
