What is the current Bitcoin block reward?

3.125 BTC per block, set at the April 2024 halving. It halves roughly every 4 years; the next halving, expected around 2028, will cut it to 1.5625 BTC.

Why isn't there a live BTC price or network hash rate built in?

Both change essentially continuously — this site has no live crypto data feed, so accurate results depend on entering current figures from a source like blockchain.com yourself.

Does this include the cost of buying mining hardware?

No — this estimates ongoing operating profit (revenue minus electricity) only. Hardware cost and depreciation are separate, often substantial, upfront and ongoing costs not included here.

What is a mining difficulty adjustment?

Bitcoin automatically adjusts mining difficulty roughly every 2 weeks to keep block times near 10 minutes as the network hash rate changes — this effectively changes the 'network hash rate' figure you should use going forward.

Is solo mining realistic with a single miner?

Extremely unlikely to find a block alone with a small hash rate share — nearly all individual miners join a pool (hence the pool fee input) to receive smaller, more frequent, proportional payouts instead of a rare full block reward.

About the Bitcoin Mining Profitability Calculator

Estimates daily, monthly, and annual Bitcoin mining profit from your hash rate, the network's total hash rate, power consumption, electricity cost, and pool fee — using the standard share-of-network mining-reward formula.

100% Free Runs in Your Browser No Sign-Up Required

How to use it

Enter your miner's hash rate and the current Bitcoin network hash rate (check a live source).
Enter your miner's power consumption and your electricity rate.
Enter your mining pool's fee percentage.
Enter the current BTC price.
Read your estimated profit per day, month, and year.

Formula

Your share of network = your hash rate ÷ network hash rate. Gross BTC mined per day = your share × 144 blocks/day (24h ÷ 10-minute average block time) × 3.125 BTC current block reward. Net BTC per day = gross BTC × (1 − pool fee %). Revenue per day = net BTC × BTC price. Electricity cost per day = (power watts ÷ 1000) × 24 hours × $/kWh. Profit per day = revenue − electricity cost.

Worked example

150 TH/s of your own hash rate against a 600 EH/s network, a 3000W miner at $0.08/kWh, a 1% pool fee, and $65,000 BTC: about 0.0001114 BTC mined per day (after pool fee), $7.24/day gross revenue, $5.76/day electricity cost, for an estimated $1.48/day profit (about $44/month) — illustrating how thin real mining margins typically are.

Interpreting your result

The block reward (3.125 BTC) was set at the April 2024 halving and stays fixed until the next halving, expected around 2028, when it drops to 1.5625 BTC. This tool has no live BTC price or network-hash-rate feed — both change constantly, so enter current figures from a source like blockchain.com or your mining pool's dashboard. It doesn't include hardware purchase cost or depreciation, cooling/hosting fees, or the roughly-every-2-weeks mining difficulty adjustment, which changes the effective network hash rate you should assume going forward. Real-world profitability is frequently thin or negative once all costs are included — this is a directional estimate, not investment advice.

Recommendations

• Electricity cost is usually the single biggest lever on profitability — even a few cents difference per kWh can flip a marginal setup from profitable to unprofitable.
• Network hash rate changes constantly as miners come online or go offline — re-check a live figure regularly rather than assuming a fixed number stays accurate.
• This doesn't include your mining hardware's upfront cost or how quickly it becomes obsolete as more efficient hardware enters the network — factor that into your real return separately.

Frequently asked questions

Your share of total mining rewards is your hash rate divided by the network's total hash rate — as the network hash rate grows (more miners join), your same hardware earns a shrinking share of the fixed block rewards.
