Cost & ROI Over Time
Sticker price versus what the miner actually earns back: the table below projects cumulative net profit at a $0.10/kWh electricity rate.
| Antminer AL1 | Metric | Antminer S19 Pro |
|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $2,500 |
| -$7.49 | Daily net profit | -$3.84 |
| -$12,733 | Net after 1 year | -$3,902 |
| -$15,466 | Net after 2 years | -$5,305 |
| -$18,200 | Net after 3 years | -$6,707 |
| Does not pay back at current rates (negative daily profit) | Payback period | Does not pay back at current rates (negative daily profit) |
Projections assume continuous operation, a flat $0.10/kWh rate, and no hardware degradation, pool fees, or BTC price change. Real-world ROI varies.
