In the world of cryptocurrency mining, Hash Rate is the heartbeat of your operation. It represents the computational power your hardware contributes to the blockchain network. Whether you are mining Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), or other Proof-of-Work cryptocurrencies, accurately calculating your hash rate against your operational costs is the only way to determine viability.
Hash rate is measured in hashes per second (h/s). Since modern mining computers are incredibly fast, we use metric prefixes:
MH/s (Megahashes): 1 Million hashes per second. Common for GPU mining (e.g., Ethereum Classic).
GH/s (Gigahashes): 1 Billion hashes per second.
TH/s (Terahashes): 1 Trillion hashes per second. The standard for modern Bitcoin ASIC miners.
PH/s (Petahashes): 1 Quadrillion hashes per second. Industrial scale mining.
The Impact of Power Consumption
The "Silent Killer" of mining profits is electricity. Your hardware might generate $10 a day in crypto, but if it consumes 3000 Watts at $0.15 per kWh, you might actually be losing money. This calculator specifically separates Gross Income (what the network pays you) from Net Profit (what you keep after paying the utility company).
Why "Market Revenue per TH/s" matters?
Instead of calculating difficulty manually (which changes every two weeks for Bitcoin), miners often look at the "Revenue per Hash" metric. This fluctuates based on the coin's price and total network difficulty. By inputting the current market rate (often found on mining dashboards like NiceHash or Luxor), you can get an instant snapshot of your hardware's potential performance without complex difficulty math.
Hardware Efficiency (J/TH)
Experienced miners look at Joules per Terahash (J/TH). This measures efficiency. If two machines both produce 100 TH/s, but one uses 3000W and the other uses 2500W, the second machine is more efficient and will remain profitable for longer as electricity prices rise or Bitcoin prices drop.

var elecCost = document.getElementById("electricityCost").value;

// 2. Validation
if (hashRateInput === "" || powerWatts === "" || elecCost === "" || marketRate === "") {
alert("Please fill in all required fields (Hash Rate, Power, Electricity Cost, and Market Rate).");
return;
}
var hashRate = parseFloat(hashRateInput);
var multiplier = parseFloat(hashUnitMultiplier);
var watts = parseFloat(powerWatts);

var revenuePerTH = parseFloat(marketRate);

return;
}
// 3. Normalize Hashrate to TH/s (Since Market Rate input is usually in $/TH/s/Day)
// The multiplier converts input to MH/s equivalent relative to TH/s?
// Let's standardise logic:
// Multiplier values in HTML: MH=1, GH=1000, TH=1,000,000, PH=1,000,000,000 ??
// WAIT. Let's look at the Market Rate input label: "$/TH/s/Day".
// We need to convert the user's input into Total TH/s.
// Correction on HTML values to make math easier relative to TH/s:
// MH = 0.000001 TH
// GH = 0.001 TH
// TH = 1 TH
// PH = 1000 TH
// Re-mapping the multiplier logic based on the Select values provided in HTML:
// In HTML I set: MH=1, GH=1000, TH=1000000. This looks like base MH.
// Let's convert everything to TH/s using logic below based on the values in the HTML.
var totalTHs = 0;
// HTML Values: MH=1, GH=1000, TH=1000000, PH=1000000000
// If user picks MH (1) and types 100. They have 100 MH. 100 MH in TH is 0.0001.
// If user picks TH (1000000) and types 100. They have 100 TH.
// Formula: (Input * SelectedValue) / 1,000,000 = Total TH/s
totalTHs = (hashRate * multiplier) / 1000000;
// 4. Calculate Daily Metrics
var dailyGrossIncome = totalTHs * revenuePerTH;
var dailyPoolFee = dailyGrossIncome * (fee / 100);
// Power Cost: (Watts / 1000) * 24 hours * cost per kWh
var dailyPowerCost = (watts / 1000) * 24 * kwhCost;
var dailyNetProfit = dailyGrossIncome – dailyPoolFee – dailyPowerCost;
