Crypto Mining Profitability Calculator – GPU, ASIC and Rig Profit Estimates
This Crypto Mining Profitability Calculator helps you estimate how much you can earn from mining different coins with your hardware. By combining hashrate, network hashrate, block reward, coin price, power consumption, and electricity cost, it shows daily profit, longer-term projections, and the maximum electricity price you can pay before mining becomes unprofitable.
Mining profitability changes constantly. Network difficulty, coin prices, block rewards and fees can move quickly, making it difficult to evaluate a mining rig or cloud mining contract by intuition alone. This tool turns your assumptions into clear numbers so you can compare setups, evaluate hardware upgrades, or stress-test your mining business against different price and difficulty scenarios.
How the Crypto Mining Profitability Calculator Works
The calculator is divided into three practical modes:
- Daily Mining Profit: Estimates coins mined per day, revenue, electricity cost, fees and net profit.
- Monthly & Yearly Projection: Projects monthly and yearly profit from your daily net and computes payback period for your hardware.
- Break-Even Electricity Price: Finds the maximum electricity cost per kWh you can pay before profit goes to zero.
Hashrate, Network Hashrate and Your Share
Mining revenue depends on your share of the total network hashrate. If your miner hashrate is a small fraction of the network hashrate, you will receive a similar fraction of the total daily block rewards.
The basic idea is:
For example, if your rig contributes 0.01% of the network hashrate and the network produces 144 blocks per day with a reward of 6.25 coins per block, the total daily block reward is 144 × 6.25 = 900 coins. Your share would be 0.0001 × 900 = 0.09 coins per day, before fees and power costs.
Mode 1: Daily Mining Profit Calculation
In the Daily Mining Profit tab, you enter:
- Currency symbol (for example, $, €, £)
- Coin price per coin
- Miner hashrate and unit (H/s, kH/s, MH/s, GH/s, TH/s, PH/s)
- Network hashrate and unit
- Block reward (coins per block)
- Blocks per day (or an approximation; for Bitcoin it is around 144)
- Power consumption in watts
- Electricity cost per kWh
- Pool or maintenance fee percentage
The calculator then computes:
You also see the profit margin as a percentage of revenue. A positive margin means your revenue exceeds power and fees under the chosen assumptions.
Mode 2: Monthly and Yearly Projection
In the Monthly & Yearly Projection tab, you can take your daily net profit (for example, from the Daily Mining Profit tab) and estimate longer-term returns, plus how long it might take to pay back your hardware investment.
This mode uses simple scaling:
The calculator also expresses payback period in months by dividing days by 30. This makes it easy to compare different rigs or hosting offers based on how long they might need to break even, assuming conditions stay constant.
Mode 3: Break-Even Electricity Price
Electricity cost is one of the biggest drivers of mining profitability. In some regions, even efficient miners are unprofitable because power is too expensive. The Break-Even Electricity Price tab shows the maximum power price you can pay while still breaking even.
First, the calculator re-computes your daily revenue and pool fees:
The remaining amount is what you can spend on electricity and still break even:
With daily kWh usage given by Power (Watts) × 24 ÷ 1000, the break-even electricity price is:
If your actual electricity rate is higher than this break-even value, then mining with those assumptions would be unprofitable over time.
Practical Tips for Using the Calculator
- Use realistic hashrate values based on your specific GPU or ASIC model and overclock settings.
- Get network hashrate from a reliable block explorer or mining pool for the coin you plan to mine.
- Update coin price, network hashrate, and block reward regularly, as changes can significantly affect profitability.
- Include pool and maintenance fees if you use hosted mining or a third-party monitoring service.
- Model multiple coin options to see which algorithm and coin currently provide the best profitability for your hardware.
Limitations and Risk Disclaimer
This calculator provides estimates based on the numbers you enter. It does not account for sudden price drops, difficulty spikes, hardware failures, downtime, halving events, or regulatory changes. Crypto mining and investing both involve risk, and returns are not guaranteed. The results here are for planning and educational purposes only and are not financial advice.

Yes. You can use it for any coin, as long as you know the network hashrate, block reward, approximate blocks per day, and your own hashrate and power usage. It is not limited to a single coin or algorithm.
You can usually find network hashrate, block reward and approximate blocks per day on block explorers, official project documentation, mining pools, or market data sites that track blockchain metrics.
Yes. If the provider tells you the hashrate, fees, and cost of the contract, you can enter those values here. Just remember that additional contract terms and platform risk are not included in the calculation.
Real results can differ due to price volatility, difficulty changes, downtime, stale shares, extra fees, cooling costs, and other factors. The calculator assumes stable conditions for simplicity.
