Cost & ROI Over Time
Hardware cost is only half the story — here is how each miner's upfront price plays out against cumulative profit at a $0.10/kWh rate.
| Avalon A1566 | Metric | Innosilicon T3+ 57T |
|---|---|---|
| $5,500 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $550 |
| -$1.48 | Daily net profit | -$5.85 |
| -$6,040 | Net after 1 year | -$2,684 |
| -$6,581 | Net after 2 years | -$4,818 |
| -$7,121 | Net after 3 years | -$6,953 |
| 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.
