How to calculate mining return on investment (ROI)?

Divide the cost of the equipment by your net daily profit (minus electricity). The result will show the number of days until you break even.

Why is mining profitability falling?

Profitability decreases due to an increase in the complexity of the network (new equipment is connected) and halvings (a decrease in the block reward). The fall in the price of cryptocurrencies is also affected.

What's more important: hashrate or power consumption?

Balance (energy efficiency) is important. With an expensive outlet, an old but powerful ASIC can work at a loss due to high energy consumption.

⛏️ How to calculate real profit from mining

Mining has ceased to be a “money button”: now it is a business where every penny of spending is important. Our calculator will help you understand whether the equipment will pay for itself, or whether it is more profitable to simply buy cryptocurrency on the exchange.

Hashrate: The power of your equipment (the more, the better).
Electricity: The main expense item. Even a difference of 1 cent per kWh changes the payback picture.
Network complexity: A parameter that is constantly growing and “eating” the profitability of old ASICs.

Instructions: what numbers to enter

Hashrate:Look at the specifications of your ASIC or video card (for example, 110 TH/s).
Consumption (Power): Real consumption from the outlet in Watts (often it is 5-10 higher than stated).
Price per kWh (Cost): Enter your tariff. To find out how much you really spend, use our electricity calculator.
Pool commission: Usually 1-2%. This is the part of the production that the pool takes for itself for combining capacities.

Comparison of mining with classic investments

Before purchasing equipment, it is worth assessing the risks. We compared mining with other tools:

Tool	Yield	Risks	Entry threshold
Mining	High (up to 100%+)	Very tall	From $500
Promotions	Medium (10-20%)	Medium	From $10
Bonds	Low (5-10%)	Minimal	From $100

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

🔹 What is ROI and when will I be profitable?

ROI (Return on Investment) is the payback period. If you bought an ASIC for $2000 and it generates $5 net profit per day, your ROI will be 400 days. Only after this period will net earnings begin.

🔹 Why is profitability constantly changing?

Income is influenced by two factors: the coin rate (which changes every day) and the complexity of the network (which usually grows). Today's numbers in the calculator are a forecast based on the current moment, they may change in a month.

🔹 What is halving and should you be afraid of it?

Halving is a code-based reduction in the reward for miners by 2 times (for Bitcoin it happens once every 4 years). After halving, the profitability of equipment drops sharply, and old models often become unprofitable, since they consume more energy than they produce money.
