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.
| Whatsminer M30S+ | Metric | Whatsminer M60 |
|---|---|---|
| $1,800 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $4,800 |
| -$4.52 | Daily net profit | -$1.93 |
| -$3,450 | Net after 1 year | -$5,505 |
| -$5,100 | Net after 2 years | -$6,210 |
| -$6,750 | Net after 3 years | -$6,915 |
| 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.
