Mining Profitability
Calculate expected revenue from crypto mining minus electricity and pool fees. Revenue depends on hashrate, difficulty, block reward, and coin price. Net profit = revenue − electricity.
Why This Matters in Web3
Why: Mining profitability determines whether your hardware pays for itself. Electricity cost is the main variable—cheap power makes or breaks mining.
How: Enter hashrate, power draw, electricity cost, pool fee, and coin parameters. The calculator computes daily/monthly/yearly revenue, electricity cost, net profit, break-even, and ROI.
- ●Difficulty increases over time
- ●Pool fees 1–2%
- ●Halving cuts revenue in half

₿ Blockchain Facts
Bitcoin difficulty adjusts every 2016 blocks (~2 weeks) to target 10-minute blocks.
Next BTC halving ~2028 will cut block reward from 3.125 to 1.5625 BTC.
Mining uses computational power to solve cryptographic puzzles. The first miner to find a valid solution gets the block reward. Difficulty adjusts periodically (e.g., ~10 min for Bitcoin). Revenue = hashrate share × blocks/day × block reward × price × (1 − pool fee). Net = revenue − electricity.

Key Takeaways
- • Profitability = revenue − electricity. Electricity cost is the main variable.
- • Difficulty increases over time; revenue per TH/s declines unless price rises.
- • Pool fees (1–2%) reduce earnings but provide steadier income than solo mining.
- • Break-even depends on hardware cost and daily net profit.
Did You Know?
How Does Mining Work?
Hashrate & Difficulty
Your hashrate is your share of total network hashrate. Difficulty targets a constant block time. Higher difficulty = less revenue per unit hashrate.
Mining Pools
Pools combine hashrate and share rewards proportionally. Solo mining rarely finds blocks; pools provide steadier income.
Halving
Bitcoin halving every 210,000 blocks cuts block reward in half. Next ~2028. Revenue halves unless price doubles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is crypto mining profitability?
Mining profitability is your expected revenue from mining minus electricity and pool fees. Revenue depends on hashrate, network difficulty, block reward, and coin price. Net profit = revenue − electricity cost.
How is mining revenue calculated?
Your share of network hashrate × blocks found per day × block reward × coin price × (1 − pool fee). Example: 0.001% of network at 6.25 BTC/block, 144 blocks/day, $95K BTC → ~$8.55/day before electricity.
What is break-even in mining?
Break-even days = hardware cost / daily net profit. If you spend $8,000 on an ASIC and earn $20/day net, break-even is 400 days. Difficulty increases over time, so actual payback may be longer.
Is Bitcoin mining still profitable?
Profitability depends on electricity cost, hardware efficiency, and BTC price. At $0.12/kWh, modern ASICs can be profitable. At $0.30/kWh, profitability is marginal. Use this calculator to model your scenario.
What is pool fee in mining?
Mining pools charge 1–2% of rewards for coordinating work and distributing payouts. Solo mining has no pool fee but rarely finds blocks. Pools provide steadier income for most miners.
When is the next Bitcoin halving?
Bitcoin halving occurs every 210,000 blocks (~4 years). The 2024 halving reduced block reward from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC. Next halving is expected ~2028. Halving cuts revenue in half unless price doubles.
