Crypto Mining Profitability Calculator
Calculate daily and monthly mining profit from hash rate, network difficulty, coin price, electricity cost, and pool fees. Difficulty-based, computed in your browser.
Defaults model a Bitcoin-style SHA-256 setup. Difficulty, reward, and price change constantly — enter current values. Note: Ethereum moved to proof-of-stake in 2022 and is no longer mineable; use this for proof-of-work coins.
Profitability

| Pool fee | -$0.05 | -$1.36 |
| Electricity | -$8.64 | -$259.20 |
| Net profit | -$4.15 | -$124.36 |

About this tool
Mining is profitable only when the value of the coins you earn exceeds what it costs to run the hardware, and this calculator makes that comparison explicit. It first estimates gross revenue the standard way — your hash rate as a share of the network (via difficulty × 2³² expected hashes per block) times the block reward and the coin's price — then subtracts the two costs that actually decide profitability: your pool's fee percentage and your electricity bill, computed from the rig's power draw and your per-kWh rate. The result is net profit per day and per month, with a clear profitable-or-not verdict. Because difficulty, block reward, and price move constantly (and rewards halve on schedule), those are inputs you supply from current sources rather than stale built-ins. An important accuracy note: Ethereum switched to proof-of-stake in 2022 and can no longer be mined, so use this for proof-of-work coins like Bitcoin. Everything is computed locally with exact formulas.
How to use it
- Enter your hash rate and unit, plus the coin's current difficulty, block reward, and price.
- Enter your rig's power draw in watts and your electricity rate per kWh.
- Enter your mining pool's fee percentage.
- Read net daily and monthly profit and the profitability verdict.
Frequently asked questions
- How is profit calculated?
- Gross revenue = (hash rate × 86,400 ÷ (difficulty × 2³²)) × block reward × price. From that, the pool fee (a percentage of revenue) and electricity cost (power in kW × 24h × rate) are subtracted to give net profit per day; monthly is ×30.
- Why does electricity matter so much?
- Power is usually the largest ongoing cost and the main thing separating profit from loss. At $0.12/kWh a 3,000 W rig costs about $8.64 a day to run, every day, regardless of coin price — so a small change in your electricity rate can flip a setup from profitable to unprofitable.
- Can I mine Ethereum with this?
- No. Ethereum completed its move to proof-of-stake (The Merge) in September 2022 and is no longer mineable. This calculator applies to proof-of-work coins such as Bitcoin and other SHA-256 or similar chains — enter that coin's parameters.
- Why do difficulty and price have to be entered manually?
- They change continuously — difficulty re-targets on a schedule and price moves constantly — so any hard-coded value would quickly be wrong. Pull current numbers from a block explorer and a market source for an accurate estimate.
- Does this account for rising difficulty?
- No — it assumes today's difficulty holds. In reality, network difficulty generally trends upward, which steadily reduces earnings for the same hardware, so treat the figure as a snapshot, not a long-term guarantee.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. All inputs are used locally and the calculation runs entirely in your browser.
