For example, running a 120 TH/s ASIC miner drawing 3,250 Watts at a $0.065/kWh electricity rate with BTC at $65,000 and 0.00000085 BTC/TH/day reward with a 1.5% pool fee and $2,400 hardware cost: Daily energy use is \, costing \. Gross daily revenue is \((120 \times 0.00000085) \times 0.985 \times 65,000 = \mathbf{\$6.53/\text{day}}\). Net Daily Profit is \}\), with a hardware payback period of 1,644 days and a shutdown breakeven power rate of $0.0837/kWh.
📖 About Cryptocurrency ASIC / GPU Mining Profitability & Energy Calculator
Blockchain Infrastructure: The Economics of Hashprice and Joules per Terahash
Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining profitability depends primarily on energy efficiency measured in Joules per Terahash:
Efficiency = Power Consumption (Watts)Hashrate
- Modern Next-Gen ASICs: Achieve 15 to 22 J/TH, remaining profitable even at higher electricity prices.
- Legacy Rigs: Operating above 40+ J/TH face negative cash flow and must be turned off whenever crypto prices retrace.
How to Use This Calculator
Enter your Hardware Hashrate (TH/s -- Terahashes / sec) (e.g. 120.0 (e.g. ASIC S19 Pro/XP hashrate)), Power Consumption (Watts W) (e.g. 3250.0), Electricity Utility Rate ( / kWh) (e.g. 0.065 (Commercial/Hosting rate)), Cryptocurrency Market Price ( / coin) (e.g. 65000.0 (Bitcoin BTC price)), Daily Coin Reward per TH/s (in BTC / Coins) (e.g. 0.00000085 (Hashprice reward per TH/s)), Mining Pool Fee Rate (%) (e.g. 1.5 (Foundry/AntPool fee)), and Hardware Purchase Cost () [for payback] (e.g. 2400 (Miner rig purchase price)). Results update instantly as you type — adjust any value to compare scenarios.
The Formula
Proof-of-Work (PoW) cryptocurrency mining economics formulas: Energy Consumption (kWh) = (Power Consumption (Watts) × 24 hours) / (1,000) Electricity Cost (\) = Daily kWh × Utility Rate (\/kWh) Mined Coins = (Hashrate × Daily Reward per Hash) × (1 - Pool Fee \%) Daily Revenue (\) = Daily Mined Coins × Token Market Price Daily Mining Profit (\) = Gross Daily Revenue - Daily Electricity Cost Payback Period (Days) = (Hardware Purchase Cost) / (Net Daily Profit) Breakeven Electricity Rate = (Gross Daily Revenue) / (Daily kWh Consumption)
Worked Example

Gross daily revenue is (120 × 0.00000085) × 0.985 × 65,000 = \6.53/day. Net Daily Profit is \, with a hardware payback period of 1,644 days and a shutdown breakeven power rate of 0.0837/kWh.
Understanding Your Result
For financial decisions, validate your result against your specific tax situation, current interest rate environment, and applicable regulations — these change frequently and vary by jurisdiction. A calculated estimate is a useful starting point; for decisions involving significant capital (more than one month's income), consult a certified financial planner (CFP) or CPA. Financial projections beyond 3–5 years carry increasing uncertainty — model a conservative, base, and optimistic scenario to understand the range of outcomes.
💡 Financial Planning: Expert Principles & Risk Awareness
- All calculations assume fixed rates and idealized conditions. Real-world results vary due to market volatility, inflation, fees, and taxes.
- The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) recommends consulting a certified financial planner (CFP) for decisions involving significant sums.
- Run at least three scenarios: optimistic, pessimistic, and most-likely — to understand the full range of potential outcomes before committing.
- Inflation averages 2–3% annually in the US (Federal Reserve target). Long-term projections that ignore inflation significantly overstate future purchasing power.
- Tax treatment varies widely by account type (IRA, 401k, brokerage), jurisdiction, and income level. Verify tax implications with a CPA before acting.
- Compound interest works for you in savings/investments and against you in debt. The difference of even 1% in rate, sustained over decades, is enormous.
- Emergency funds (3–6 months of expenses) should be established before optimizing for returns — financial security precedes financial growth.
- Financial projections older than 12 months should be recalculated. Interest rates, tax brackets, and market conditions shift materially year to year.
