How to use Mining Profitability
Enter hashrate, power draw, electricity price, and reward assumptions. Read a rough daily net before CapEx.
Example: a 100 TH/s miner at $0.12 per kWh
A rig hashes 100 TH/s, draws 3,000 W, electricity costs $0.12 per kWh, it earns 0.0000025 BTC per TH/s per day, and BTC is $65,000.
- BTC per day = 100 × 0.0000025 = 0.00025 BTC
- Revenue = 0.00025 × $65,000 = $16.25 per day
- Power cost = 3 kW × 24 h × $0.12 = $8.64 per day
- Profit = $16.25 − $8.64 = $7.61 per day
The rig nets about $7.61 a day before hardware cost, pool fees and difficulty rises. Enter your own revenue-per-TH figure from a mining stats site.
Formula & methodology
revenue ≈ f(hashrate, network difficulty, block reward); cost ≈ kWh × powerPrice; net ≈ revenue − cost.
Sketch mining revenue versus power cost
Difficulty, pool fees, and downtime move quickly. Treat this as a napkin estimate before hardware purchases — not a contract with the network.
CryptonicTools focuses on power versus rough revenue so you can see whether electricity alone sinks the model. CapEx, cooling, and maintenance sit outside the daily net.
Not an electrician’s quote or tax schedule — verify locally and with your pool’s fee sheet. Hosting, shipping, and warranty costs also belong outside the daily power line.
What miners should re-check often
Hashprice and difficulty can invalidate last month’s spreadsheet. Re-run assumptions when either moves, and include pool fees explicitly.
If you are comparing ASIC generations, keep power draw honest — optimistic watts are a common way napkin models go green while real sites lose money.
