Monero Mining Calculator
Network Data
How to use the calculator
Enter the hashrate and power consumption of your device in the widget - Monero runs on the RandomX algorithm, deliberately designed to be ASIC-resistant and originally intended for CPU mining, so the figures vary accordingly depending on the hardware. Then enter your actual electricity price per kilowatt-hour - this is the lever with the greatest influence on the result. The calculator then shows you the estimated daily revenue in XMR and euros, the power costs and the break-even electricity price, i.e. the threshold up to which a device is calculated to be in profit. All figures are a calculation example with no guarantee, based on current network data from Cryptohall24's own network monitoring, updated daily - hashrate and price change constantly, so every calculation is a snapshot, not a promise of future earnings.
RandomX: an algorithm for processors
RandomX is memory-hard and deliberately designed so that specialised chips achieve barely any architectural advantage over ordinary processors - Monero is therefore still predominantly mined on CPUs, with hashrate measured in kH/s. Specialised devices for RandomX also exist, such as Bitmain's Antminer X9 series. The calculator accepts the hashrate and power consumption of any device type as free input - whether CPU, GPU or specialised device.
What determines Monero earnings
Your share of the reward results from the ratio of your own hashrate to the network hashrate, multiplied by the block reward and the current price. Monero has no halving: instead of a gradually declining emission, the protocol permanently pays a constant tail emission of 0.6 XMR per block. How the network hashrate itself develops is explained on the Monero network hashrate page.
Mining at home or with hosting
Whether Monero mining pays off depends above all on the electricity price. Mining at home is possible with existing CPU or GPU hardware and cheap energy, for example surplus solar power; at typical German household electricity prices, on the other hand, the calculation quickly becomes tight. For professional operation outside your own four walls, Cryptohall24 also hosts specialised RandomX devices such as the Antminer X9 series in our own partner data centres. Simply enter the electricity price relevant to you in the calculator to run your scenario. More on this at mining hosting at Cryptohall24.
