This tool will estimate your potential earnings from mining based on your inputs.
How to Use the Mining Estimator
To use this mining estimator, fill in the required fields with your mining hardware and market data:
- Hashrate (MH/s): Input your miner’s hashrate in mega hashes per second.
- Power Consumption (W): Input how much power in watts your mining hardware consumes.
- Electricity Cost ($/kWh): Input your electricity cost per kilowatt-hour.
- Pool Fee (%): Input the percentage fee taken by the mining pool you are using.
- Block Reward (BTC): Input the current block reward in bitcoins.
- BTC to USD Conversion Rate: Input the current conversion rate from BTC to USD.
- Network Difficulty: Input the current network difficulty.
How It Calculates the Results
The mining calculator uses the following formulae:
- Blocks per day: Calculated by how many hashes your hardware can perform in a day divided by the total hashes needed to solve a block.
- BTC per day: Multiplying blocks per day by the block reward.
- BTC after pool fee: Deducting the pool fee from BTC per day.
- Gross USD per day: Converting BTC after pool fee to USD using the conversion rate.
- Power cost per day: Calculating how much power in kWh your hardware uses in a day times your electricity cost.
- Net profit per day: Deducting power cost per day from gross USD per day.
Limitations
This calculator provides an estimate and may not be 100% accurate due to fluctuations in variables like network difficulty, BTC value, and block rewards over time. It does not account for hardware wear and tear or unexpected downtimes. Always consider multiple factors when making mining decisions.
