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.
| Avalon A1566 | Metric | Innosilicon T3+ |
|---|---|---|
| $5,500 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $1,200 |
| -$1.66 | Daily net profit | -$5.55 |
| -$6,104 | Net after 1 year | -$3,225 |
| -$6,709 | Net after 2 years | -$5,249 |
| -$7,313 | Net after 3 years | -$7,274 |
| 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.
