Mining Profitability
۱۴۰۵/۱/۲۷
Mining profitability is the difference between mining revenue and operating costs. It determines whether running a miner generates profit or loss.
Key factors
- Coin price — higher price = more revenue per block
- Network hashrate — more competition = lower share of rewards
- Block reward — decreases with each halving
- Power consumption — the largest ongoing cost for most miners
- Electricity price — varies widely by location; industrial rates can be 3–10× lower than residential
- Hardware efficiency — measured in J/TH (joules per terahash); newer ASICs are more efficient
Basic formula
Daily profit = (Daily revenue) − (Daily electricity cost)
Daily revenue = Hashrate × Coin price × Network factor
Daily electricity cost = Power (kW) × Hours × Electricity rate ($/kWh)
Break-even analysis
A miner is profitable as long as the coin price stays above the break-even price — the coin price at which revenue exactly covers electricity cost. If the price falls below that level, running the miner costs more than it earns.
