1. Dash Mining Calculator Summary

1. Enter the hash rate of your Dash miner
2. Enter additional info such as electricity price, hardware costs, etc. (optional)
3. Your calculations will appear automatically
4. Click “Show details” for more info about profitability

Keep in mind that:

• While the calculator can give you a good idea for your gear’s profitability, earnings ARE NOT profit. You still have to take into account the cost of your mining hardware and the electricity to run it (and cool it down if needed).
• The earnings are based on the current DASH/USD exchange rate. This rate can (and probably will) change over time.
• Profit is based on current difficulty to mine Dash. Difficulty can (and probably will) change. From past experience it usually goes up as time goes by.
• All the data on the calculator can be adjusted manually. This is useful in case you want to simulate scenarios or if for some reason the data is not up-to-date (though normally it is).

2. Calculator fields explained

Difficulty factor – The more people are trying to mine Dash, the harder it becomes to actually mine it. This is due to difficulty – a metric that measures “how hard is it to mine?” at the current moment. This information is taken automatically from the Dash network, you do not need to change it.

Hash Rate – How powerful your miner is. The more Hash Rate it can produce, the higher your mining rewards will be. Normally you can get the Hash Rate of a specific miner from its manufacturer.

DASH/Block reward – How many Dash are distributed each time a successful block is mined. This information updates from time to time to keep the Dash money supply in check.

DASH/USD exchange rate – How much USD can you get for 1 DASH.

Pool fees – Usually miners group together into mining pools in order to increase their chances of successful mining. The pool takes a certain fee from the earnings.

Hardware cost – How much it cost you to buy your Dash miner.

Power – How much energy your miner consumes. This information should be supplied by the manufacturer.

Power cost – How much you are paying for a KiloWatt per hour of electricity in USD.
