How to calculate mining income in rubles and dollars: formula and examples 2026
To calculate mining income, you need three numbers: the hashrate of your ASIC, the current network difficulty and the BTC rate. In May 2026: difficulty ~123 T, hashprice ~$46/PH/day, BTC ~$95,000. The finished result is given by the POOL BTC calculator - taking into account the pool commission and your tariff.
In brief: BTC/day = (your TH/s / hashrate networks in TH/s) × 144 × 3.125. Multiply by the BTC rate - get income in USD. Subtract the cost of electricity and the pool commission - get net profit.
Basic formula for calculating mining income
Formula for income in BTC per day:
BTC/day = (Your hashrate TH/s / Network hashrate TH/s) × 144 × 3.125
Example for Antminer S21 Pro (212 TH/s) with a network of 745 EH/s = 745,000,000 TH/s:
- Network share: 212 / 745,000,000 = 2.845 × 10⁻⁷
- BTC/day: 2.845 × 10⁻⁷ × - Electricity costs - Pool Commission.
Parameter Value (example) Gross income/day $12.17 Electricity ($0.06/kWh × 3.5 kW × 24 h) -$5.04 Pool commission 1% -$0.12 Net income/day $7.01 Net income/month ~$210 When At a tariff of $0.04/kWh, electricity costs drop to $3.36/day, and net income increases to ~$8.69/day (~$261/month). Try different scenarios in the POOL BTC calculator.
Which rate to use for forecasting: current or average?
For conservative planning: take the average rate for the last 3-6 months and assume a decrease of 20-30% from the current one. Mining is profitable if the costs are recouped even with this reduction. The second approach is to calculate payback in BTC, and not in USD: then the exchange rate does not affect the calculation logic.
How to take into account changes in difficulty in a long-term forecast?
Difficulty grows along with the network hashrate. Average annual growth for 2020-2025: ~50%. Conservative forecast for 2026: +30-40% per year. This means that after 12 months with the same ASIC, your BTC/day will be down about 23%. In the POOL BTC calculator you can set a forecast increase in difficulty in % per month and immediately see how the ROI changes.
Frequently asked questions about income calculation
Why do real payments from the pool differ from the calculated ones?
Several reasons: block luck (variance), downtime ASIC, different accrual schemes (FPPS vs PPLNS), transaction fees. With FPPS, payments are more stable; with PPLNS, they can be higher if the pool is lucky. More details: FPPS vs PPLNS.
How to convert BTC/day to rubles?
BTC/day × BTC rate in USD × USD/RUB rate. For example: 0.000128 × 95,000 × 88 = ~1,071 ₽/day. The rate is updated in real time on the Binance and Bybit exchanges.
Does the POOL BTC calculator take taxes into account?
No - POOL BTC calculator calculates operating income before taxes. Taxation of mining depends on the jurisdiction and form of business - check with your accountant.
How to automatically track profitability and change the pool if it decreases?
Manually recalculating profitability once a month is not enough. Hashprice changes weekly. Professional farms use automation:
Tool What it does Cost Braiins OS+ Auto-tuning, statistics, pool switching 2% of income Awesome Miner Monitoring of the entire fleet, alerts $49-149/month minerstat.com Online dashboard, profit switching $2/ASIC/month POOL BTC Comparison of pools by hashprice in real life time Free The key metric for monitoring is hashprice ($/TH/day). If it falls below the break-even threshold of your equipment, you need to either reduce the tariff or temporarily disable the least efficient ASICs. For a farm of 10+ devices, the difference between manual and automatic control can be 5-15% of annual income. Start with a free calculation in the POOL BTC calculator to know your current break-even threshold.
Bottom line: how to use the calculator to make decisions
The mining formula is simple, but its parameters are constantly changing. Hashprice fluctuates weekly, difficulty - once every 2 weeks, course - daily. Therefore, a one-time calculation quickly becomes outdated. Professional approach: recalculate profitability at least once a month, track hashprice as a leading indicator, keep the break-even point for your tariff at hand. POOL BTC Calculator uses current network data and allows you to build “what if” scenarios for different rates and complexity. It takes 2 minutes and gives clarity for the next month.
