FAQ

Zcash mining calculator FAQ

Direct answers to the questions miners ask most - figures update with live network data.

How much can I earn mining Zcash?

Zcash earnings depend on three inputs: your hashrate, your power draw, and your electricity rate. Enter them above and the calculator applies the live ZEC price and network difficulty to return daily revenue, power cost, and net profit. As a reference point, the Bitmain Antminer Z15 PRO 840Kh/s (840000 Sol/s, 2,780 W) currently nets about $58.84 per day at $0.100/kWh.

Is Zcash mining profitable?

It depends on your electricity rate and hardware efficiency far more than on the ZEC price alone. Power is the dominant recurring cost, which is why CoinWarz leads with Profit per Watt - net daily profit divided by watts drawn - instead of raw hashrate. At $0.100/kWh, the best-ranked ZEC miner on CoinWarz (Bitmain Antminer Z15 PRO 840Kh/s) nets about $58.84 per day, so efficient hardware on competitive power is currently in the black. Older machines at the same rate may not be.

How many ZEC can I mine per day?

ZEC mined per day = block reward × blocks per day × (your hashrate ÷ network hashrate). Network hashrate is estimated from on-chain difficulty and block times. Zcash averages 1,152 blocks per day with a 1.5625 ZEC reward. The default hardware on this page mines about 0.05706239 ZEC per day at current difficulty.

What is the best Zcash miner?

By Profit per Watt, the Bitmain Antminer Z15 PRO 840Kh/s currently leads the ZEC rankings at 840000 Sol/s and 2,780 W, earning about $0.021167 per watt per day. Rankings recalculate with live difficulty and price, so the leader changes as conditions move.

How is Zcash mining profitability calculated?

Revenue = coins mined per day × the live ZEC price, less the pool fee. Costs = (watts ÷ 1,000) × 24 × your USD/kWh rate. Net profit is revenue minus costs, and Profit per Watt divides that net figure by your power draw so machines of different sizes compare directly. The current ZEC network estimate is about 26.5 GH/s.
