Interpreting Daily, Monthly, and Yearly Projections
The ASIC ROI Calculator presents results in clear cards, focusing on daily metrics and extended projections. These outputs help miners understand short-term cash flow and long-term viability.
Positive daily profit indicates ongoing earnings after electricity costs, while negatives signal losses.
Daily Metrics
Daily revenue shows your estimated share of network block rewards in USD. Daily power cost calculates electricity expenses based on wattage and rate. Net daily profit subtracts costs from revenue, highlighted in green for gains or red for losses.
These figures update instantly, allowing quick sensitivity analysis.
Extended Projections
- Yearly profit multiplies daily profit by 365 for annual outlook
- Break-even combines with hardware cost for recovery timeline
Color Coding and Alerts
The main daily profit card uses color to signal status at a glance. Unprofitable setups avoid misleading break-even by showing "Never".
Using Projections Effectively
Compare yearly profit against hardware cost for rough ROI percentage. Factor in potential network growth reducing future revenue shares.
In late 2025, with Bitcoin around $88,000 and hashrate over 1,000 EH/s, many setups show marginal or negative daily profits unless electricity is cheap.
Test variations: lowering power costs or assuming higher coin prices reveals breakeven thresholds.
Limitations to Consider
Projections assume constant conditions—no difficulty increases, price volatility, or downtime. They exclude pool fees, maintenance, or cooling costs.
FAQ
What does a negative yearly profit mean?
The operation loses money annually—consider shutting down or relocating.
How reliable are long-term projections?
Useful for snapshots; revisit regularly as conditions change.
Why focus on daily profit?
It captures immediate operational viability before scaling to years.
Accurate interpretation turns raw numbers into actionable mining strategies.
