Zcash Mining Calculator

This zcash mining calculator works out your ZEC earnings at today's live price, minus your electricity cost and pool fee. Enter your hashrate in Sol/s, power draw, electricity rate and pool fee above, and it returns your daily, weekly, monthly and yearly profit from live network data. No manual math needed.

Multiply your share of the network hashrate by the block reward and the ZEC price to get revenue, then subtract your power cost, which is your wattage times hours times your rate per kWh. It is fiddly to do manually, so this zcash mining calculator reads live difficulty, reward and price and does it for you.

Enter four numbers: your miner's hashrate in Sol/s, its power draw in watts, your electricity cost per kWh, and your pool fee. The calculator pulls live network data and instantly shows your daily, weekly, monthly and yearly ZEC profit. Adjust any field to test different hardware or electricity rates.

Use this zcash mining calculator with your own numbers, because it depends on your power rate and hardware. After ZEC recovered strongly in 2026, a flagship Equihash ASIC like the Antminer Z15 Pro can net a healthy daily profit below roughly $0.10/kWh, while older units and expensive power erode the margin quickly.

Zcash runs on Equihash, which dedicated ASIC miners dominate. The Antminer Z15 Pro leads at 840 kSol/s, with the Z15 and Innosilicon units as alternatives. GPUs once mined ZEC but stopped being competitive once these ASICs arrived, so enter an ASIC's Sol/s and wattage above for a realistic estimate.

Equihash measures work in solutions per second (Sol/s), not the hashes per second used by Bitcoin, so Zcash hardware is rated in kSol/s or MSol/s. The Antminer Z15 Pro, for example, runs at 840 kSol/s. Enter your figure in Sol/s above so the calculator matches the network correctly.

Your cost per coin comes down to your machine's efficiency times your electricity price, so there is no single figure for everyone. Enter your Sol/s, watts and $/kWh above, and this zcash mining calculator shows today's real cost using live network data.

It is the $/kWh where your ZEC revenue exactly equals your power cost, leaving zero profit. Below it you earn, above it you lose. Enter your hashrate and watts above, then raise the electricity cost until profit hits zero, and that figure is your break-even.

Not competitively. Equihash ASICs like the Antminer Z15 Pro deliver far more solutions per watt than any GPU, so a GPU setup runs at a loss on ZEC today. If you still want to compare, enter a GPU's Sol/s above and the zec mining calculator will show the gap clearly.

Equihash efficiency is measured in watts per kilosolution (W/kSol), and lower is better. The Antminer Z15 Pro sits near 3.3 W/kSol, which is the current benchmark. Compare hardware on W/kSol before you buy, then test the numbers in the calculator above.

A single ASIC has low odds of finding a block solo, so a zec mining calculator usually points you toward a pool. Enter your Sol/s above to see your expected share; a pool pays you a steady proportional cut of every block rather than relying on rare solo luck.

Yes. This zcash mining calculator subtracts the pool fee you enter and your full electricity cost, so the profit shown is what you keep, not gross revenue. It leaves out hardware price, cooling and maintenance, so read it as an operating-profit estimate for your ZEC setup.

It uses the live block reward of 1.5625 ZEC, set at the November 2024 halving, along with current difficulty. It does not project future difficulty growth or the next halving, so the weekly, monthly and yearly rows carry today's numbers forward unchanged and should be treated as optimistic.

Four things usually explain the gap: downtime, rising network difficulty, stale or rejected shares from high latency, and ZEC price swings between payouts. Plan around 95 to 98 percent uptime and treat the output as the best case for today's network.

Yes. Enter 0, or your true marginal rate, as the cost per kWh, and every row turns green because power is your main variable cost besides the pool fee. Solar usually runs a miner for part of the day, so scale the result to your actual generation hours.

Revenue is the market value of every ZEC you mine before any costs. Profit is what remains after the pool fee and electricity bill, which is the figure this zcash mining calculator shows. Hardware cost sits outside both, so divide the machine price by monthly profit to find your payback period.

Yes. Our US facilities run on industrial power well below typical household rates, which often turns a loss-making ZEC setup profitable. Lower the $/kWh value above to see the difference, then talk to our team about hosting your Antminer Z15 Pro or other Equihash miners.
