Bitcoin Mining Profitability Calculator
Evaluate the economic viability of operating Bitcoin ASIC mining hardware. This calculator compares hardware hashing throughput against power consumption and electricity tariffs to project daily and monthly cash flow.
Hashing power in Terahashes per second (TH/s)
Total electrical draw in Watts (e.g. Antminer S19 Pro uses ~3250W)
Utility electricity tariff per kilowatt-hour
Current market exchange rate of Bitcoin in USD
Daily mined Bitcoin revenue minus daily electricity cost
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your mining machine’s hashrate specification in Terahashes (TH/s).
- Enter the manufacturer’s rated power consumption in Watts.
- Enter your local commercial or residential electricity tariff per kilowatt-hour ($/kWh).
- Examine net daily and monthly margins to determine whether your operational cost basis is viable.
Formula & Calculation Methodology
Bitcoin mining rewards are proportional to your share of global network difficulty, offset by 24-hour thermodynamic power consumption.
Worked Example
Antminer rig hashing at 120 TH/s drawing 3,300 Watts with $0.06/kWh power at $65,000 BTC
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most critical variable in Bitcoin mining profitability?↓
Electricity cost per kilowatt-hour is by far the most decisive factor. Mining operations paying over $0.07–$0.08/kWh frequently operate at a loss when difficulty adjusts upward or coin prices pull back.
How does the Bitcoin Halving affect mining returns?↓
Every 210,000 blocks (roughly every four years), the block subsidy reward cuts in half (currently 3.125 BTC per block). Revenue drops by 50% unless transaction fees rise or the price of Bitcoin doubles.
Does this calculator include mining pool fees?↓
Yes, this baseline assumes a standard 1% PPS+ (Pay-Per-Share) or FPPS pool operator fee deducted from gross block shares.
Why does mining difficulty change over time?↓
The Bitcoin protocol automatically recalculates mining difficulty every 2,016 blocks (~2 weeks) to maintain a steady 10-minute average block issuance time regardless of global hashrate expansion.
