Bitcoin Mining Calculator

Enter your miner's hashrate and select the unit (GH/s, TH/s, PH/s), your rig's power consumption in watts, your electricity rate in $/kWh, and the current Bitcoin price. Optionally add your pool fee percentage and hardware cost. The calculator instantly estimates your daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly profit after deducting electricity and pool fees.

Profitability depends on your hashrate, electricity cost, and the current Bitcoin price and network difficulty. Miners with access to cheap electricity (below $0.07/kWh) and modern ASIC hardware (100+ TH/s) are generally profitable. Rising difficulty and price drops can squeeze margins, so it's important to model different scenarios before investing.

The amount of Bitcoin you can mine per day depends on your share of the total network hashrate. For example, a 100 TH/s miner represents an extremely small fraction of the ~600 EH/s global hashrate, yielding roughly 0.00015–0.0003 BTC per day at current difficulty levels. The calculator shows your exact estimated daily BTC output based on the inputs you provide.

Solo-mining 1 full BTC at typical home-miner hashrates could take years or even decades given today's difficulty. In a mining pool, your proportional payouts accumulate over time — at roughly 0.0002 BTC/day it would take about 5,000 days (over 13 years) for a single 100 TH/s machine to accumulate 1 BTC. Larger operations with many machines reach 1 BTC far faster.

Bitcoin's mining difficulty adjusts roughly every two weeks (every 2,016 blocks) to keep block times near 10 minutes as total network hashrate rises or falls. Higher difficulty means each unit of hashrate earns less BTC per day, directly reducing profitability. Keeping the difficulty field up to date in the calculator gives you the most accurate revenue estimate.

Following the April 2024 halving, the Bitcoin block reward is 3.125 BTC per block. Halving events occur approximately every four years (every 210,000 blocks) and cut the subsidy in half. The next halving is expected around 2028 and will reduce the reward to 1.5625 BTC.

Electricity is typically the largest ongoing expense for Bitcoin miners. Even a small difference in your rate — say $0.05/kWh vs $0.12/kWh — can swing a mining operation from highly profitable to a net loss. Use the electricity cost field to test different rate scenarios and find your break-even price.

Mining pools charge a percentage of your earnings — typically 1%–3% — in exchange for smoothing out the variance of solo mining. This fee is deducted from your gross revenue before profit is calculated. Choosing a pool with lower fees or better luck factors can meaningfully improve your net returns over time.
