Further assumptions
A miner in a living space heats it. Whatever gas or electricity you therefore do not buy counts against the power bill, but only in the months you would be heating anyway.

Network hashrate 973 EH/s ·

Household prices per Eurostat, 2. Halbjahr 2025, including all taxes and levies. Your own tariff may differ considerably; cheap switching offers often sit ten cents below. Just type yours in.

The break-even electricity price is the price per kilowatt-hour at which earnings exactly cover the power bill. Below it the machine earns, above it the machine burns money. In central Europe that is the number almost everything turns on.

The sum behind it

Earned per day
Earned per day in euro
Power used per day
Power cost per day
of which heat credit
BTC per day = hashrate ÷ network hashrate × 144 blocks × 3.125 BTC × (1 − pool fee) Power cost = watts ÷ 1000 × 24 h × price per kWh Break-even = earnings in euro ÷ kilowatt-hours per day

Not included: connection, cooling, power-supply losses, downtime and maintenance. Water cooling adds the loop itself, hosting adds the slot fee. Network difficulty rises over the long run, which lowers earnings at the same hashrate; the payback figure uses today's values and is therefore on the optimistic side.

Assessment

The S21 Pro is the most searched-for machine on this list, and with good reason: 15 J/TH on air cooling was the peak when it launched, and the figure still holds up. Air cooling means no water loop to build, which makes it equally workable for a small home setup and for hosting. The price per terahash, though, is well above a T21 or an S21+, so you pay for the efficiency in full. With expensive power that pays off, with cheap power it does not. That is exactly what the panel above works out.

Do the sums before you buy

If you do not like the numbers, you are not alone: at household prices almost none of these machines pay off in central Europe. If you still want to understand how mining works economically, you can play it through in the Coinovo app, with the same models and the same formulas, but without hardware and without a power bill.
