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

MARA's MARA M3 delivers 185 TH/s at 3,900 watts, so 21.1 J/TH, which puts it in the bottom third: rank 72 of 85. At 3,900 watts of connected load it belongs on a dedicated circuit, not a kitchen socket. Its closest neighbours are the WhatsMiner M60 at 19.9 J/TH above and the Avalon Mini 3 at 21.3 J/TH below. The gap upwards is 1.2 J/TH; whether the premium for it is worth paying depends entirely on your electricity price. We hold no market reference for this model, so the price field above stays empty. Enter your own quote and payback appears beside it. Net per day and break-even do not need a price anyway.

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.
