Mining Profit Formula:
From: | To: |
The BTC Mining Profit Calculator estimates how much profit you can make from Bitcoin mining based on your hashrate, current block reward, pool fees, and network difficulty. It helps miners evaluate potential earnings before investing in hardware.
The calculator uses the mining profit formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates your share of mining rewards based on your contribution to the network's total hashing power.
Details: Calculating mining profit helps determine if mining is economically viable given electricity costs, hardware expenses, and current market conditions.
Tips: Enter your hashrate in H/s, current block reward in dollars, pool fee as decimal (e.g., 0.01 for 1%), and current network difficulty. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is a good hashrate for profitable mining?
A: Profitability depends on many factors. Currently, most profitable miners use ASICs with TH/s (terahashes per second) capabilities.
Q2: How often does network difficulty change?
A: Bitcoin adjusts difficulty every 2016 blocks (approximately every 2 weeks) to maintain a 10-minute block time.
Q3: What are typical pool fees?
A: Most pools charge between 1-3%. Some offer 0% fees but have other payment structures.
Q4: Does this include electricity costs?
A: No, this is gross profit. You must subtract electricity and hardware costs for net profit.
Q5: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides theoretical estimates. Actual results vary due to luck, pool variance, and changing market conditions.
