What it really produced. Output

What it counts and what it leaves out.

The block subsidy only (3.125 BTC). Transaction fees are not added; in September 2026 they were under 1% of income.
A 30.4-day month. Hosting in the catalogue is calculated over 31 days.
Not included: repairs, spare parts, transport, insurance, taxes or the miner's resale value.
The next halving is not included. It is expected around April 2028 and cuts the subsidy in half.
Bitcoin miners only. For the other coins in the catalogue, output depends on different networks that this calculator does not query.

Source. Difficulty and price: Coinbase and Blockstream, with blockchain.info as fallback. Prices and hosting: Andes SolarHash 2026 catalogue.

What this site does not promise.

Bitcoin mining is not fixed income. ASH does not promise profitability, minimum output or a payback period.
