How to Use the Crypto Mining Profitability Calculator
Crypto mining only pays off when the value of the coin your rig mines exceeds the electricity cost of running it. Enter your estimated daily mining output, the current coin price, your rig's power draw, and your electricity rate, and this tool instantly calculates daily revenue, electricity cost, and net profit.
Multiplying your rig's power draw (W) by 24 hours gives daily energy use in kWh, and multiplying that by your electricity rate gives your daily power bill. Subtracting that bill from mining revenue reveals your true take-home profit — a negative result means every day of mining adds to your losses rather than reducing them.
Keep in mind this only measures operating profitability and doesn't include hardware purchase cost, depreciation, or cooling and maintenance expenses. Coin prices and mining difficulty also shift constantly, so refresh your price and output figures often using current difficulty data to keep the result reliable.
Frequently Asked Questions
As difficulty rises, the same rig mines less coin per day. Update the 'daily mining output' field using current difficulty figures regularly to keep this calculator's result accurate.
This tool shows only the operating profitability of mining versus your electricity bill. To find your full payback period including hardware cost and depreciation, divide your initial equipment investment by this operating net profit separately.
A negative net profit means electricity costs exceed mining revenue, which is a signal to reassess. But prices are volatile, so it's wiser to watch the trend over several days rather than reacting to a single short-term dip.
