Mining Power Cost Calculator

Estimate your electricity costs for running one or more mining rigs. Compare your miner against common household appliances to put power consumption in perspective.

Quick answer

Your mining power cost is watts x hours x electricity rate: a miner's wall draw (W / 1000 = kW) times the hours it runs times your $/kWh gives the daily and monthly energy bill. Enter your rate, or pick a Canadian province, to size the true cost of running an ASIC.

Pro Tip

Quebec offers comparatively low electricity rates; this calculator’s Quebec reference is $0.0718/kWh. Mining loads may be subject to different tariffs, eligibility rules, demand charges, and taxes. D-Central operates a mining hosting facility in Montreal, Quebec for operators who need a site-specific quote.

Methodology

This calculator converts miner wattage into daily, monthly, and yearly electricity costs.

  • Energy use is calculated as watts / 1000 x hours per day.
  • Cost is calculated from the entered kWh rate or the selected provincial rate.
  • Appliance comparisons use typical wattage values and are intended as a practical reference point.

Data sources: user inputs, network or market data available on the page, manufacturer specifications, and the displayed assumptions. Verify results before making financial or electrical decisions.

Disclaimer: This calculator provides estimates based on the inputs you provide. Actual electricity costs may vary depending on your utility provider, rate structure (tiered, time-of-use), taxes, and other fees. These figures are for informational purposes only and do not constitute financial advice.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate a Bitcoin miner's electricity cost?
Convert the miner's wall wattage to kilowatts (watts / 1000), multiply by the hours it runs, then by your electricity rate in $/kWh. For example a 3250 W miner running 24 h at $0.10/kWh costs about $7.80 per day.
Does the calculator use my local electricity rate?
Yes. Enter your own $/kWh, or select a Canadian province to load a representative local residential rate, so the estimate reflects where the miner actually runs.
