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 E9 Pro | Metric | Antminer S19 Hydro |
|---|---|---|
| $3,000 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $5,000 |
| -$5.28 | Daily net profit | -$7.15 |
| -$4,927 | Net after 1 year | -$7,608 |
| -$6,854 | Net after 2 years | -$10,216 |
| -$8,781 | Net after 3 years | -$12,824 |
| 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.
