Someone in the forums just made a new one that's pretty good, check it out:
http://aleks1k.github.io/bitcoin-calculator/

I like it because it's fast, easy, and it does a good job at factoring the difficulty.

The one I've used in the past is:
http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/

It's been fairly accurate, but doesn't forecast difficulty as good as the one at the top of the post. I've been using this calc since April 2013, right now it's only about 12% off what my mining farm is doing, so that's not bad.  The other calculators that are popular are off by 30% and up (at least for me they are).

Build your own spreadsheet.  Every calculator I've tried on-line is very inaccurate, and typically very optimistic.  Makes you wonder if some of them are written by the ASIC companies just to sell hardware.

Not all are accurate as they have thier own calculator it will only show you by the diff now if the diff changed too much in a month it would be diffrent .

Given that the diff changes roughly every 12 days, that's guaranteed.

I know that most of them works on same algorythm, I recomend

I personally like mining.thegenesisblock.com as you can tweak the values and most of the major manufacturers are already listed.

Easy to use and look at too.

Thanks for your reply!

If I'm right most of them works on same algorythm. between them there is not much difference

This.

Calculating mining profitability is rather easy for anyone not afraid of a bit of high school math. The thing that matters the most is what parameters you use, especially for difficulty increase. Many online calculators may use some pre-set value that, while user-changeable, most people don't adjust. Often this value is rather inaccurate, giving bad results.

Before you search for a calculator, make sure you have a good idea of what you expect the difficulty to do in the future.

Calculators like bitcoinwisdom will be better than using your own equation because it calculates based on difficulty change(some use monthly %).  You could write your own equation to do the same but I think bitcoinwisdom basically has it down.

With that said I would like to remind OP that historically every single calculator has been wrong and not by a small amount. Bitcoin difficulty is impossible to predict so it is important to remember that it is a gamble not an investment.

yeah well. generally as we know calculators do not calculate accurate at all...

you can never be sure how much you will earn.. it is like (almost) impossible.


Kind regards!

I know that the price of BTC is volatile, but is there a calc the factors in the the rate of increase in price of BTC.

Post it here when you will find it

I don't heard about that one.

Don't focus on price, volatility really doesn't matter when you're holding everything you mine until you're ready to sell.  Probably the only price movement you should really care about would be moving averages just to see where the trend line is heading.  Then pick a target along that trend to sell on.

A good calc should really only care about forecasting trends in hash rate so you can see what your potential earnings will be in terms of BTC.

Yes, that makes sense. I wouldn't want to sell immediately.

The Genesis Block's calculator does allow you to factor in changes in $/BTC conversion per month in case you sell your mined BTC immediately. Look for Conversion Increase / Month (%) under Conversion and Electricity
