I could never find a simple calculator, Thank you.

It's nice - but I find the BitcoinWisdom mining calculator much better still.  Yours only calculates your earnings after the next difficulty increase.  In reality, a miner needs to be able to model their returns after each difficulty increase.  Without taking that into consideration, a miner will have an over optimistic expectation of return.  Also - you should factor in the initial cost of hardware as well.  With a couple more updates, I think this would be great!

The profit chart does actually factor in a changing difficulty over time, but the output tables don't. I could see how that would be confusing. I think I'll change the second table to account for changing difficulty. Thanks for a feedback, that's super helpful!

that difficulty estimate on bitcoinwisdom is a bit exaggerated, they are assuming the worst scenario of 20% increase every two weeks, which is not really the case

Got it - I can see that now.  Yes - I personally like the way I can see the profit values per month or grouped by difficulty jump, as on the Bitcoin Wisdom Calculator.  An option to export that out data out to a spreadsheet would also be quite killer :D

I agree with the sentnence in bold, but I don't think that Difficulty Increase were not taking into account there. I mean I don't think that more complex calculation will change the picture to such an extent that we should worry about it.

Overall good job OP! Thank you for the simple and in the same time pretty accurate Calculator!

Nice one..
It's pretty easy to use and great one..
A Simple mining calculator it is..
I don't see any major problem that need to be updated..
At lowet level or normal calculations it can be used..
Otherwise for more bitcoinwisdom mining calculator id there

Too easy mate! Done. ;)

Smarter profitability tables that account for future difficulty increases, and exportable data are on the list.

Thanks guys!

Great calculator! I like it a lot!  Only thing I can think of is maybe a chart for each difficulty change. This would help people better judge their ROI.

Nice..!

Wow this suberb. My mother could use it.

Well done, works great.  Bookmarked!

It provides further proof that it's not economically profitable to mine bitcoin in the US due to the network difficulty and power costs per kWH.  However, that's not the fault of the calculator  ;)

Probably one of the best/easiest clalculators out there. I have a few suggestions though:

1) Maybe add the approximate halving date in there around mid July (very important for the last half of the year in mining).

2) Include hardware costs into the calculations.

Also, do you happen to work in the Hydro generation field? I may work for a company who's contracted with you in the past (judging from your BCHydro username).

Cheers.

Good ideas, both wouldn't be too hard to implement. I'll add hardware costs into the calculation ASAP

No affiliation to BC Hydro, the government owned monopoly electricity company in BC, Canada. I just live in BC, and I turn BC hydroelectric power into Bitcoins so I decided it would be a decent username ;)

Thanks everyone for the comments! ;D

Thanks man, nice calculator  ;)

Wonderful Mining profitability calculator, easy to use and has all necessary inputs needed to calculate the profits daily, monthly..etc. I really liked how the graphs indicated profitability over a period of time and the ability to input power cost and pool fees.
