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 T17 Metric Whatsminer M30S++ (Hydro)
— Upfront cost (MSRP) $3,000
-$3.86 Daily net profit -$4.37
-$1,410 Net after 1 year -$4,593
-$2,820 Net after 2 years -$6,187
-$4,230 Net after 3 years -$7,780
— 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.
