Cost & ROI Over Time
A miner pays for itself in profit, not specs. These projections track upfront cost against one, two and three years of net earnings at $0.10/kWh.
| Antminer S17 Pro | Metric | Bitmain Antminer S19j Pro (100Th) |
|---|---|---|
| — | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $600 |
| -$3.20 | Daily net profit | -$3.56 |
| -$1,169 | Net after 1 year | -$1,899 |
| -$2,338 | Net after 2 years | -$3,199 |
| -$3,508 | Net after 3 years | -$4,498 |
| — | 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.
