10 TH/s: a small hosting slot, or one twentieth of a recent ASIC.
Machine efficiency assumption: 20 W/TH (recent ASICs: 17 to 25 W/TH). BTC price and network hashrate pulled live.
Collected 21/10/2026. Sources: Binance (BTCUSDT), mempool.space (hashrate, difficulty), EIA Monthly Energy Review table 9.8 for the US residential rate.
At 20 W/TH, 10 TH/s pull 200 W continuously, 4.8 kWh a day, about what a router and a laptop draw together. The power bill stays small in absolute terms, but it is not zero.
Ten terahash is still a rounding error in global hashrate: real output, thin, and shrinking at every difficulty adjustment.
Remember the threshold: $0.0750/kWh. That is the highest electricity price at which 10 TH/s still break even at the current network level. Compare it with what you actually pay, taxes and delivery included, not the advertised rate.
Gross output = (10 TH/s ÷ network hashrate) × 450 BTC per day × bitcoin price. Power = 10 × 20 W × 24 h. No other variable: no promise of a rising BTC, no hidden yield. The network mines 144 blocks a day at 3.125 BTC since April 2024; the next halving cuts that reward in half.
Two things this calculation cannot predict: difficulty rises (same hashrate, less output every month) and the BTC price can fall. A pool or a hosting provider also takes a fee, not deducted here. The figure above is therefore an optimistic ceiling.
10 TH/s will not make anyone rich. They make one thing visible: the break-even price per kWh. Below it, every day adds bitcoin. Above it, every day subtracts dollars.

The calculator accepts any hashrate, any efficiency in W/TH and any electricity price: it recomputes with the live BTC price and difficulty. 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.
