Mining rig ROI.

Crypto mining rig ROI calculator estimates payback period and profitability. 5,000 the securities regulator miner at 100 TH/s hashrate, 0.50 profit per TH/day, 20/day electricity = 30 daily net profit. Payback: 167 days (5.5 months). After payback: pure profit until obsolescence (typically 2-3 years for ASICs).

Example: 100 TH/s Bitcoin miner. Profit per TH varies daily - 0.50/TH/day rough estimate. Daily revenue: 100 × 0.50 = 50. Electricity: 3,000W × 0.30/kWh × 24h = 21.60. Net daily profit: 28.40. Annual: 10,366. 5,000 rig payback in 176 days. Net 2-year profit: ~15,000 (3x return).

Mining ROI risks: (1) Bitcoin price drops crash mining profitability. (2) Network difficulty rises (more competition reduces individual rewards). (3) Halvings (every 4 years, block reward halves - dramatic profitability shock). (4) the securities regulator obsolescence (next-gen miners outcompete old). (5) Electricity price spikes. Most retail mining loses money long-term - industrial-scale operations dominate due to electricity arbitrage. Cloud mining: typically scams. Better crypto exposure: just buy and hold the asset.

Run it with sensible defaults

Using mining rig cost of 5,000, hashrate of 100, profit per th per day of 0.5, daily electricity cost of 20, the calculation works out to 167 days. Nudge the inputs toward your own situation and the output recalculates instantly. The defaults are meant as a starting point, not a recommendation.

The levers in this calculation

The inputs — Mining Rig Cost, Hashrate (TH/s), Profit per TH per Day, and Daily Electricity Cost — do not pull with equal force. Not every input has equal weight. Flip one at a time toward extreme values to feel which ones move the needle most for your situation.

How the math works

Payback days = rig cost / daily net profit. Net profit = revenue - electricity cost. The working is transparent — you can verify every step yourself in the formula section below. No black box, no opaque "proprietary model".

Using this well

Treat the output as one point on a wider map. Run it three times — a pessimistic case, a central case, and a stretch case — and plan against the pessimistic one. That habit alone separates people who stick with an investment plan from those who bail at the first wobble.

What this doesn't capture

Steady-rate math ignores real-world volatility. Actual returns are lumpy; sequence-of-returns risk matters most in drawdown; fees and taxes drag on compound growth; and behaviour changes in drawdowns can reduce outcomes below the projection. Treat the number as one scenario, not a forecast.
