Calculate how much mining revenue you earn per kWh of electricity. Compare your $/kWh output against your electricity rate to measure mining efficiency.
Revenue per kWh is a simple but powerful metric for evaluating mining efficiency. It tells you exactly how much you earn for every kilowatt-hour of electricity consumed. When this number exceeds your electricity rate, you're profitable. The larger the gap, the healthier your operation.
This metric normalizes mining performance across different hardware types and scales. A small rig and a large farm can be directly compared by their revenue per kWh. It also provides a quick way to assess whether upgrading hardware or negotiating a better electricity rate will have a bigger impact on profitability.
Enter your daily mining revenue and total power consumption to see your revenue per kWh and compare it against your electricity cost.
Crypto traders, long-term holders, and DeFi participants benefit from transparent mining revenue per kwh calculations when planning entries, exits, or portfolio rebalances. Revisit this calculator whenever market conditions shift to keep your strategy grounded in accurate data.
Revenue per kWh is the simplest way to compare mining efficiency across different hardware, scales, and coins. It immediately tells you if your operation is profitable (revenue/kWh > cost/kWh) and how much margin you have. Real-time recalculation lets you model different market scenarios quickly, so you can act with confidence rather than relying on rough mental estimates.
Daily kWh = (Watts / 1000) × 24 Revenue per kWh = Daily Revenue / Daily kWh Profit per kWh = Revenue per kWh − Electricity Rate Efficiency Ratio = Revenue per kWh / Electricity Rate
Result: Revenue: $0.1923/kWh | Profit: $0.1123/kWh | 2.4x ratio
A 3,250W rig earning $15/day consumes 78 kWh daily. Revenue per kWh is $15/78 = $0.1923. At $0.08/kWh electricity, you profit $0.1123 per kWh consumed, with a healthy 2.4x efficiency ratio.
Different miners use different hardware, mine different coins, and pay different electricity rates. Revenue per kWh provides a universal standard for comparison. It strips away all the variables and answers: how efficiently are you converting electricity into money?
Track your revenue/kWh over time to spot trends. If it's declining, difficulty is rising faster than your revenue. If it's improving, coin prices are outpacing difficulty growth. This trend is an early warning system for your operation's health.
When evaluating a new ASIC, calculate its revenue/kWh. If the new model improves the metric by 30%, it's equivalent to getting 30% cheaper electricity. Use this framework to compare hardware upgrades against electricity rate negotiations.
Anything above 2x your electricity rate is good. At $0.10/kWh electricity, earning $0.20+/kWh from mining means healthy profits. Top-tier operations with cheap power and efficient hardware can achieve 3-5x ratios.
Solar panels produce electricity at $0.03-0.05/kWh equivalent. If your mining converts that kWh into $0.15-0.25 of crypto revenue, mining is a much higher-yielding use of energy than selling electricity back to the grid.
Revenue per kWh normalizes across scale. A $50/day operation and a $500/day operation might both earn $0.19/kWh — they're equally efficient. Daily profit alone doesn't tell you about efficiency.
Use your net revenue after pool fees for the most accurate result. If your gross revenue is $15/day and pool fee is 2%, use $14.70 as daily revenue to account for the fee.
Two ways: increase revenue (mine a more profitable coin, increase hash rate) or decrease power (more efficient hardware, undervolting, better cooling). Upgrading hardware efficiency has the biggest impact.
Yes. Enter the total power consumption of all equipment (including cooling overhead) and total revenue from all sources. The result gives you the blended efficiency of your entire operation.
