Read the quote and its unit
A USD hashprice quote gives the estimated dollar value of running 1 PH/s for 24 hours. One PH/s equals 1,000 TH/s. If the quote is in BTC, your result will be in BTC. Write down the quote, currency and time before comparing scenarios. To find a quote, open the Bitcoin Hashprice Index linked under Sources.
Convert your miner’s hashrate
Use the same hashrate unit as the quote. This example uses a hypothetical 270 TH/s. For your miner, enter its own hashrate. Assume the hashrate is delivered while the miner runs and the quote stays at $50 per PH/s per day.
- Gross estimate = hashprice × hashrate in PH/s × (hours ÷ 24).
- 270 TH/s ÷ 1,000 = 0.27 PH/s.
- 0.27 PH/s × $50 per PH/s per day = $13.50 gross for 24 hours.
- At the same rate and quote for 12 hours, the gross estimate is $6.75.
Check what can move the estimate
The BTC quote reflects network difficulty, the block subsidy and Bitcoin transaction fees. The USD quote also moves with the BTC exchange rate. The index describes the network. Your pool applies its own payout rules and fees to your mining work, and actual delivered hashrate can vary.
Check hosting and equipment costs separately
For a purchase decision, compare your scenario with the hosting terms for the same runtime. Record the equipment price, power draw, tariff and any fees separately. Open a current S21 XP listing and confirm its variant, price and availability before proceeding.
