Canaan 150 TH/s · 3230 W · 21.5 J/TH · released 2023. BTC price and network hashrate pulled live, electricity at four rates.
Collected 22/10/2026. Sources: Binance (BTCUSDT), mempool.space (hashrate), EIA Monthly Energy Review table 9.8 for the US residential rate. Pool fees and hosting fees are not deducted: this is the ceiling.
150 TH/s at 3230 W, 21.5 J/TH: Canaan's mid-range air-cooled unit, positioned on price rather than on efficiency. It runs on 200-300 V and tolerates warmer intake air than the Bitmain units, which matters in a garage.

Specification as published by the manufacturer: Canaan, Avalon A1466 datasheet (21.5 J/TH nominal). Rated figures carry a tolerance of a few percent on real units.

Same network, same day, same formula: only the efficiency in joules per terahash changes the bill. Sorted from the most to the least efficient.
Halfway between the S19 generation and the S21 one. Its break-even price decides everything: the figure below is the rate above which this machine works for the utility.
Keep this number: $0.0690/kWh. Above it, one Avalon A1466 burns more electricity than the bitcoin it produces, at the current network hashrate. Compare it with your real tariff, taxes and delivery included.
Gross output = (150 TH/s ÷ network hashrate) × 450 BTC a day × bitcoin price. Power = 3230 W × 24 h. Nothing else: no promised BTC rise, no hidden yield. The network mines 144 blocks a day at 3.125 BTC since April 2024.
Two things this cannot predict: difficulty keeps rising (same machine, less output every month) and the BTC price can fall. A worn unit also hashes below its rated figure.
Buying a machine is the visible cost, but the tariff decides the outcome. The alternative is to have the machine run where the kWh is billed at a professional rate: no room, no noise, no upfront hardware.

The calculator accepts any hashrate, any efficiency in W/TH and any tariff. The hashrate tiers answer the same question by power level, and the country pages compare residential rates across Europe.
Nothing here is investment advice. Mining is an asset, not a guaranteed yield: difficulty rises, the BTC price can fall, hardware wears out. Commit only what you can lose entirely.
