About

Cryptocurrency mining is an energy-intensive competition where profitability hangs on thin margins. The difference between profit and loss is often determined by the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour (kWh). This tool aggregates a comprehensive database of mining hardware-from consumer-grade GPUs to industrial ASICs-to provide a realistic estimate of net earnings.

Unlike simple revenue calculators, this utility focuses on the "Break-Even" horizon and Net Daily Profit. It accounts for pool fees (typically 1-2%) and hardware efficiency (Watts/Hash). While network difficulty and coin prices fluctuate by the second, this tool allows manual overrides of these values to ensure calculations remain relevant even during extreme market volatility.

Formulas

Daily Revenue is estimated by share of network hashrate:

Rev = H_userH_net × Reward_block × Blocks_day × Price

Electricity Cost:

Cost = Watts × 241000 × Rate_kWh

Net Profit = Revenue (1 - PoolFee) - Cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Calculators assume 100% uptime and perfect luck. In reality, mining pools have variance (luck), hardware creates "stale shares" (latency), and mining software has a 1-2% developer fee.

Difficulty is a dynamic value that adjusts how hard it is to find a block. If more miners join, difficulty goes up, and your share of the rewards goes down. This tool allows you to manually input network hashrate to simulate difficulty changes.

Since Ethereum moved to Proof of Stake (The Merge), GPU mining profitability has dropped significantly. However, newer coins like Kaspa, IronFish, or Karlsen often provide temporary periods of high profitability for efficient GPUs.
