Mining return model
What would a mining program actually return?
Enter your power price, machine cost, fleet size and throughput. The model holds every coin you mine, pays the power bill in cash, and values the stack at the end of the term. Sample numbers come from a real 216 TH/s hosted-miner quote — change every one of them to match your own.

Read this before trusting any number above
- · Mining rewards per TH/s fall as the network grows and halve roughly every four years. Set the annual reward decline yourself; leaving it at zero is optimistic.
- · Machines fail, hosting contracts change rates, and uptime is never 100%. This model assumes continuous running.
- · Mined coins are taxable income at the value received, and selling them is a separate taxable event. Talk to a CPA with mining experience.
- · Educational modelling only — not financial, tax or investment advice, and not a forecast of Bitcoin's price.
