Calculator returns vs. actual returns

[saintex]

I was wondering if most people find that predicted returns from a mining calculator reflect reality in the short term (@7 days ).

I am wondering if I have network issues because my s9/821 dont seem to produce  the predicted return.

Predicted: .046 btc/month
Actual:     .032 btc

You need to check your stats on the pool side, i.e. if you have submitted the expected number of shares.

Other than that it's hard to say without having more info, e.g. which calculator you used, which numbers you entered into the calculator, which pool you're using etc.

I was using Whattomine with 25 Th for input and comparing to my Slush dashboard. Now the numbers match up. I think it just needed time to build the 24hr average.

On a big pool like slush your earnings will match the estimate quite closely. On smaller pools there might be more variance. Don't expect to mine the same exact amount of BTC every day - some days it may be higher, some days it may be lower, but it will average about the same.
