Mining Electricity Cost Calculator

Power draw is the single biggest variable separating a profitable mining rig from one that bleeds cash, and this tool puts a precise dollar figure on that draw so you can judge whether an operation actually pays. As energy prices and network difficulty swing, that number moves with them. By 2026, analysts expect the average global industrial electricity price to sit near $0.15 per kWh, which makes squeezing efficiency out of every watt more important than it has ever been.

The math behind the estimate is direct: take device power consumption in watts, divide by 1000, multiply by the electricity cost per kWh, then multiply by operating hours to get the total power bill for the period. That figure is then subtracted from your projected mining revenue, which is itself derived from your hardware's hash rate, the current coin price, and network difficulty, leaving you a clean net-profit number.

Two traps catch most miners. The first is treating electricity rates as fixed when peak-hour tariffs and rate hikes can quietly erode margins, so build in some headroom. The second is ignoring cooling, which in warmer climates can add a meaningful share to total energy use. Difficulty and coin prices also move sharply and without warning, so any projection here is a snapshot worth revisiting often rather than a permanent forecast.
