Forgot to calculate pool and or miner fee's and/or your calculator is wrong because of difficulty or price.

mining calculators are a guide in many cases, not a science.

If you mine zcash, the closest you can get if you calculate the result in zcash.

The pool luck, some fluctuations in mining, the pool fee can already make a difference.
Then if you calculate something and meanwhile the price you can sell zcash for Bitcoin differs, you have another difference.
Then the price you can sell Bitcoin for Dollars changes too.
Or maybe the calculators give you average prices, not the sell price...

Too many factors that can result in quite a difference between what you expect and what you get. As it was said, it's far from rocket science.

That is the life...

Miner show you hashrate, on pool you have lower hashrate, from shares it come even lower payouts... And you have to pay for miner dev (2%), for using pool (1%), for withdraw from pool (0-1%), for transactions on market when changing to btc (0.5%), for withdraw from market (1%) to second market, for changing to your country value (2%), for withdraw from market (0-5%), for taxes (18-32%), for vat (23%), for electricity (30%).... Usual you have to pay about 80% of mined value... and prices of coin going down and is quick unprofitable, because mining farm have cheaper electricity, better miner, avoid taxes and just dumping coin on market... because everyone is greedy, and you asking... because you are greedy too
