Monero Mining Calculator Formula
The calculation is performed in three main steps: XMR mined, Electricity Cost, and Net Profit.
1. XMR Mined per Day ($\text{XMR}_{\text{daily}}$)
A Monero Mining Calculator is an essential tool for crypto miners to assess the potential return on investment (ROI) before purchasing or setting up mining hardware. It takes key operational and market data—such as your hardware’s hash rate, the current Monero price, network difficulty, and local electricity costs—to project your estimated daily, monthly, and annual profit.
Monero (XMR) utilizes the RandomX proof-of-work algorithm, which is CPU-friendly, making electricity efficiency paramount. Unlike Bitcoin mining which is often dominated by ASIC farms, XMR profitability relies heavily on low power consumption and high single-core performance. This calculator helps determine the break-even point and overall viability of a specific setup.
How to Calculate Monero Mining Profit (Example)
Collect Input Data: Start by gathering all seven variables: Hash Rate (e.g., 50,000 H/s), XMR Price ($150), Difficulty (280B), Block Reward (0.60 XMR), Power (300 W), Cost ($0.12/kWh), and Fee (1.5%).
Determine Net Profit: Subtract the cost from the revenue. $0.1143 – $0.864 = -$0.7497. (In this example, the setup is unprofitable).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often does Monero’s difficulty change?
Monero’s network difficulty adjusts dynamically with every block (approximately every 2 minutes) to maintain a consistent block time.
What is the best hardware for Monero mining?
Because Monero uses RandomX, CPUs are typically the most efficient hardware. High single-core performance CPUs like AMD Ryzen series are often favored over GPUs or ASICs for XMR.
Do I need a mining pool to use this calculator?
While you can solo mine, the calculator assumes pool mining as it’s the standard practice. The “Pool Fee” input is specifically for this. Solo mining introduces high variance.
Is Monero mining profitable right now?
Profitability depends entirely on your specific inputs: high hash rate, low power consumption, and low electricity cost. This calculator provides the exact financial answer for your setup.
