Bitcoin Mining Calculator
Estimate daily profit, breakeven power rate, and hardware payback with live network data. Works for any ASIC, at home or hosted.
Estimate Your Mining Profit
Pick a miner from our catalog or enter any machine’s specs. BTC price and network hashrate load live; every field stays editable so you can stress-test your assumptions. Treat the result as a snapshot of today’s conditions, since mining profitability moves daily.

How This Calculator Works
Bitcoin pays miners in proportion to the computing power they contribute. The network mines about 144 blocks per day, and each block pays a block subsidy that halves every 210,000 blocks. The calculator reads the live block height to apply the current reward (3.125 BTC today, halving to 1.5625 BTC around 2028). Your machine’s share is its hashrate divided by total network hashrate, about 859 EH/s as of June 2026; the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index tracks the live figure.
BTC/day = (your TH/s ÷ network TH/s) × 144 blocks × 3.125 BTC × (1 − pool fee)
Revenue is that BTC at market price. Cost is electricity: watts × 24 hours ÷ 1,000 × your rate per kWh. Serious miners obsess over the spread, and it comes down to efficiency (J/TH), the power each terahash burns, and the power rate you pay for it. U.S. residential electricity averages about $0.17/kWh per the U.S. Energy Information Administration, while industrial-scale hosting runs near $0.065/kWh. That gap separates mining BTC below market price from losing money, and it explains why the same machine loses in a garage and profits in an Iowa facility. See our beginner’s guide to starting Bitcoin mining for the full decision framework, or how hosting works if you already own hardware.
Live BTC price and network hashrate come from the open-source mempool.space API when the page loads. The calculator excludes transaction-fee revenue (upside for you) and assumes 100% uptime. It also ignores future difficulty changes, so treat the results as a snapshot of today’s conditions.
Calculator Questions
How is Bitcoin mining profit calculated?
You earn Bitcoin in proportion to your share of network hashrate. The formula: (your TH/s ÷ network TH/s) × 144 blocks per day × 3.125 BTC block subsidy, minus pool fees. Multiply the BTC by market price for revenue, then subtract electricity (watts × 24h ÷ 1000 × your $/kWh rate). This calculator runs that math with live network data.
What electricity rate should I use in the calculator?
If you plan to mine at home, use the utility rate from a recent bill. The U.S. residential average is about $0.17/kWh per the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Hosted mining facilities run on industrial power: $0.065/kWh is a common reference rate, and MiningStore quotes exact hosting rates per deployment on a call.
Is Bitcoin mining still profitable in 2026?
It comes down to your electricity rate and machine efficiency. At U.S. residential rates (~$0.17/kWh), most ASICs lose money after power. At hosted industrial rates near $0.065/kWh, current-generation hardware in the 12–18 J/TH range can mine BTC below market price. Run your exact numbers above; the breakeven output shows the most you can pay for power before profit hits zero.
Does the calculator account for difficulty increases?
No. It snapshots today’s network hashrate, which the Bitcoin protocol re-targets every 2,016 blocks (about two weeks). Network hashrate has trended up through most of Bitcoin’s history, which shrinks per-machine output over time, while BTC price swings cut both ways. Treat the monthly and yearly figures as estimates of today’s conditions.
What is a good efficiency (J/TH) for a Bitcoin miner in 2026?
Current-generation flagships run 12–16 J/TH and solid mid-cycle hardware runs 17–22 J/TH. Above ~30 J/TH, you need cheap power to break even. Lower J/TH means less electricity per terahash, which raises your margin and your cushion against difficulty increases.
Can MiningStore host a miner I buy from the shop?
Yes. We deploy any miner we sell at our Iowa facilities: 62.5 MW across 11 sites with 24/7 monitoring and on-site technicians. You buy the hardware, we rack and power it, and you mine at industrial rates instead of residential ones. Book a call and we will quote hosting for the exact model you are pricing.
