GoMining ROI Calculator 2026: Estimate Your Bitcoin Earnings
Yann Barry
Bitcoin mining ROI in 2026 comes down to three numbers: your hashrate, the network’s hashprice, and your maintenance cost. This guide walks through the calculator GoMining uses and shows what a $500, $2,000, and $10,000 miner actually earns at today’s network conditions.
You can run the live calculator at gomining.com/digital-miners. The math behind it is what this article unpacks, so you can plug in any combination of inputs and read the output with confidence.
The verdict — a 2026-05-26 snapshot
This article works through one concrete example using a single point-in-time snapshot, so the math is reproducible. Inputs: BTC ≈ $76,130, network hashrate ≈ 1,000 EH/s, miner at the 15 W/TH efficiency floor.
Live BTC and network hashrate move continuously — for what’s true right now, use the live calculator. The figures below are estimates from these snapshot inputs, not guarantees of what your miner will earn at the moment you read this.
At those snapshot inputs, here’s what $500, $2,000, and $10,000 of digital miners earn:
| Miner cost | Hashrate | Daily BTC (gross) | Daily maintenance | Daily net (BTC) | Daily net (USD) | Annual ROI | Months to payback |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $500 | 50 TH/s | 0.0000225 BTC | 0.00000484 BTC | 0.0000177 BTC | $0.37 | 26.8% | ~45 months |
| $2,000 | 200 TH/s | 0.0000900 BTC | 0.0000193 BTC | 0.0000707 BTC | $1.47 | 26.8% | ~45 months |
| $10,000 | 1,000 TH/s | 0.000450 BTC | 0.0000967 BTC | 0.000354 BTC | $7.36 | 26.8% | ~45 months |
Payback is constant across the three tiers because miner cost and yield both scale linearly with TH at the same $9.99/TH price. The annual return of ~26.8% lines up closely with GoMining’s advertised “From 27.89%” rate on gomining.com/digital-miners. The sensitivity tables below show how the return moves with BTC price, network growth, and your maintenance discount stack.
The formula
A miner’s daily output in USD is roughly:
Daily USD = (your TH ÷ network TH) × daily BTC issuance × BTC price − maintenance fee
Three inputs you control, three you don’t:
| Input | You control | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Your hashrate (TH/s) | Yes | Your share of the daily 450 BTC pool. |
| Maintenance fee | Partial | Subtracted from gross before payout. Choose efficient miners, stack discounts. |
| Energy efficiency (W/TH) | Yes | Lower W/TH means lower electricity component of maintenance. |
| Network hashrate | No | Total competition. Higher means lower per-TH yield. |
| BTC price | No | Multiplies the BTC you earn. |
| Daily BTC issuance | No | Fixed at 3.125 BTC × 144 blocks ≈ 450 BTC/day until the 2028 halving. |
The maintenance fee on GoMining has two components:
- Service fee: $0.0089 per TH per day (flat).
- Electricity: industrial-rate, scales with your miner’s W/TH. At the 15 W/TH efficiency floor, electricity works out to $0.018/TH/day.
Together that’s $0.0269/TH/day of maintenance at 15 W/TH at our snapshot inputs — the “maintenance fee” line in the verdict table above.
These figures follow our published formula, but the actual per-miner fee charged on your account is always shown live in the app — trust that over any worked example, since electricity rates and the service-fee schedule can move.
Worked example — $2,000 miner
Pick the middle row of the verdict table. Here are the inputs:
| Input | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Hashrate | 200 TH/s | $2,000 ÷ $9.99/TH |
| Network hashrate | 1,000 EH/s (1,000,000,000 TH/s) | minerstat + CoinWarz |
| Daily BTC issuance | 450 BTC | 3.125 BTC × 144 blocks/day |
| BTC price | $76,130.59 | Snapshot used for this worked example |
| Energy efficiency | 15 W/TH | GoMining upgrade floor |
| Maintenance at 15 W/TH | $0.0269/TH/day | GoMining service fee + industrial electricity |
The calculation runs in four steps:
| Step | What’s calculated | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gross daily BTC. Your share of the network (200 ÷ 1,000,000,000 = 2.0 × 10⁻⁷) multiplied by the 450 BTC daily pool. | 0.0000900 BTC/day ($6.85 at $76,130.59 BTC) |
| 2 | Service fee. $0.0089 per TH per day × 200 TH. | $1.78/day (0.0000234 BTC) |
| 3 | Electricity. $0.018 per TH per day × 200 TH (at 15 W/TH). | $3.60/day (0.0000473 BTC) |
| 4 | Net. Gross minus combined maintenance ($5.38/day total). | 0.0000193 BTC/day = $1.47/day |
That’s $44.10/month or $536/year at the BTC price quoted, an annual return of 26.8% on the $2,000 capital. Payback time: ~45 months.
The industrial-rate electricity is what keeps the maintenance fee from eating the entire gross. It’s the single biggest cost lever in mining, and on GoMining it’s already negotiated and baked into the maintenance formula above.
Sensitivity to BTC price
Same miner (200 TH/s, $2,000 cost). Vary BTC, hold network hashrate fixed at 1,000 EH/s:
The maintenance line is flat in USD because GoMining bills it in dollars and converts to BTC at the time of payout. Gross BTC stays at 0.0000900 BTC/day because it’s set by your share of the network, not by price.
Break-even BTC at these inputs is $59,778. Below that, the dollar-denominated maintenance fee exceeds your gross and you accumulate near-zero net BTC until prices recover. The miner doesn’t physically shut down. You list it on the secondary marketplace and exit, or hold and wait.
What happens if network hashrate grows
Network hashrate is the other variable that moves. Same miner (200 TH, $76,130.59 BTC, 15 W/TH, $0.0269/TH/day maintenance):
| Network hashrate | Your share | Daily gross BTC | Daily gross (USD) | Daily net (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 600 EH/s | 0.0000333% | 0.000150 BTC | $11.42 | $6.04 |
| 800 EH/s | 0.0000250% | 0.000113 BTC | $8.57 | $3.19 |
| 1,000 EH/s | 0.0000200% | 0.0000900 BTC | $6.85 | $1.47 |
| 1,200 EH/s | 0.0000167% | 0.0000750 BTC | $5.71 | $0.33 |
| 1,500 EH/s | 0.0000133% | 0.0000600 BTC | $4.57 | −$0.81 |
Your absolute hashrate doesn’t change. Your share of the network does. This is the unavoidable drag on any long-horizon mining ROI calculation.
How GoMining replaces a home rig or cloud contract
You have two other realistic paths to mining BTC. Each has a different cost structure that GoMining replaces directly.
Instead of buying ASIC hardware: A self-hosted rig means buying the hardware, paying your residential electricity rate, and dealing with noise, heat, and setup. GoMining swaps the hardware purchase for an NFT-verified miner, and your maintenance fee is calculated against the industrial-rate electricity negotiated by the data center, not whatever your local utility charges.
Instead of a cloud mining contract: Cloud contracts typically lock you into multi-year terms and disclose limited information about the underlying hardware. GoMining miners are tradeable on a secondary marketplace, so you can exit at any time, and the miner’s specs (TH/s, W/TH) are verifiable on-chain via the NFT.

Inputs that move payback
Three stackable levers reduce your effective payback time below the ~45 month baseline shown in the verdict table.
Maintenance discounts — three discounts stack on the recurring maintenance fee:
| Source | Discount on recurring maintenance |
|---|---|
| Service Button (consecutive use) | Up to 3% (0.3% per day, max after 10 days) |
| VIP tier | 0.3% (Bronze II) to 6% (Elite) |
| Pay in GOMINING token | 1% to 20% based on token holdings |
Maintenance is your only daily recurring cost, and it's taken out of your Bitcoin before it reaches your wallet, so trimming it lifts your net ROI directly.
The easiest way: pay it in GOMINING (GMT) instead of BTC and we apply a discount of up to 20%.
The discount grows with how many days of maintenance your GMT balance covers in advance - it rises by 1% for every 18 days you pre-fund. So covering about 90 days gets you 5% off, 180 days gets you 10%, and a full year or more locks in the 20% maximum.
To turn it on: keep enough GMT in your wallet, choose GOMINING in your maintenance settings, and keep the balance topped up — if it runs out, fees revert to BTC and the discount drops.
And you don't have to leave that GMT sitting idle - you can stake it for veGOMINING and it works both ways: the locked tokens still count toward your maintenance discount while also earning you weekly rewards in GOMINING.
It also stacks with your VIP and Service Button discounts, so for an engaged user 20% is a floor, not a ceiling.
Full mechanics: maintenance fees and discounts.
The Avatar discount (5%) applies to miner creation and power upgrades, not the recurring maintenance fee, so it lowers acquisition cost rather than daily burn. Magmars avatars give a 1.4× multiplier to Simple Earn yield instead.
Max recurring-maintenance stack is 29% (3 + 6 + 20). Your actual stack depends on your VIP tier, token holdings, and Service Button usage — the higher you push each lever, the more of that ceiling you capture.
At full 29% stack on the $2,000 miner at current BTC and network: maintenance drops from $5.38/day to $3.82/day, net rises from $1.47 to $3.03/day, annual ROI rises to 55.3%, payback compresses to ~22 months.
Hashback from the GoMining Card — spending with the GoMining Card credits cashback as TH/s on a selected miner. At Silver I (VIP 3), that’s 1% credited as TH back into a selected miner. For a moderate spender, this adds several TH per month to your active miner without any additional purchase.
TH Reinvestment Bonus — Silver I VIP+ adds +5% to TH purchased with reinvested rewards, Diamond I+ adds +10%. A multiplier on the BTC you’re already earning when you compound it back into hashrate. Learn more about the VIP Program.
What about Simple Earn on the BTC you mine?
Once mined BTC lands in your virtual wallet, you can deposit it to Simple Earn for additional APR. Current base rates: USDT and USDC at 9.85%, TON at 9.00%, SOL at 5.68%, BTC at 3.03%, ETH at 2.73%, BNB at 1.52% (all at VIP 1). VIP multipliers scale from 1.00× at VIP 1 to 1.46× at VIP 21 (cap), with steady +0.02 increments per level after VIP 2.
Rates current as of June 2026 — check the app for the live APR, since rates can move.
For a VIP 10 holder, the effective BTC APR is 3.03% × 1.24 = 3.76%. That’s not part of the miner’s payback math, but it’s the natural next step once BTC is accumulating.

Edge cases
What if BTC drops below my breakeven?
At the inputs above (200 TH/s, 15 W/TH, $0.0269/TH/day maintenance, 1,000 EH/s network), break-even BTC is $59,778. Below that, your daily gross can’t cover the USD-billed maintenance fee, and you accumulate near-zero net BTC. The miner doesn’t shut off. It just stops earning until BTC recovers, or you list it on the secondary marketplace and exit. Break-even shifts with miner efficiency, so a more efficient miner (lower W/TH) handles lower BTC prices.
Does the calculator account for the next halving?
Not by default. The 2028 halving will cut daily issuance from 450 BTC to 225 BTC, a structural drop in per-TH yield. Run your projections out to the halving date for any large purchase.
Why is my actual ROI different from this article?
Three reasons: BTC and $GOMINING prices move every minute (this article quotes a snapshot); network hashrate updates roughly every difficulty adjustment (every 2,016 blocks, about 2 weeks); your specific miner’s efficiency may differ from the 15 W/TH assumption (older miners need upgrades to reach the floor). Plug your own numbers into the live calculator for current state.
Is the calculator available in my country?
The calculator on gomining.com is open to anyone. Buying a miner requires an account, available in most jurisdictions. Simple Earn is not available in the United States. For miner ownership specifically, the Mining Farm Levels guide covers what you unlock at each TH milestone.
Ready to run your own numbers?
The live calculator lets you input miner cost, hashrate, and BTC price and shows daily/monthly/yearly BTC in real time. Numbers refresh against current network state.
If you want to try the math before buying, the free bonus miner is the cheapest possible test — around 0.006 TH/s, no card required — lets you watch the payout cadence in your own wallet. From there, scaling to a paid miner is a single tap.
