Daily Profit Matrix — Every Monero Miner × Electricity Rate
Each cell is estimated daily profit at the current Monero price of $317.00. Tap an electricity rate to highlight it. Sorted by break-even rate (most resilient first).
| Hardware | Hashrate | Power | Efficiency | $0.04 | $0.06 | $0.08 | $0.10 | $0.12 | Break-even |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 | 19 KH/s | 280 W | — | $0.4159 | $0.2815 | $0.1471 | $0.0127 | $-0.1217 | $0.102 |
| NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti | 15 KH/s | 260 W | — | $0.2910 | $0.1662 | $0.0414 | $-0.0834 | $-0.2082 | $0.087 |
| AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT | 7.2 KH/s | 130 W | — | $0.1347 | $0.0723 | $0.0099 | $-0.0525 | $-0.1149 | $0.083 |
How Electricity Cost Shapes Monero Mining Returns
At the current Monero price of $317.00, profitability swings sharply with the power tariff: 3 of 3 hardware models turn a profit at $0.04/kWh, but only 0 of 3 survive at $0.12/kWh. The most resilient miner is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, which stays cash-flow positive up to about $0.102/kWh .
At the other end, the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT needs electricity below $0.083/kWh to break even — viable only with industrial or subsidised power. The gap between these two miners is the difference between profit and loss at the same electricity rate, which is why efficiency matters far more than headline hashrate.
Electricity is the single most variable cost in mining. The difference between $0.04/kWh and $0.12/kWh on a typical 3,000W ASIC is $17.28/day — over $6,300 a year. Use the matrix above to find the exact break-even point for your hardware, then confirm with your real tariff (quoted rates often exclude distribution, transmission, and taxes that add 20–40%).
Who Pays Each Rate?
- $0.04/kWh — Very cheap (industrial/hydro) Paraguay, Iceland, parts of Kazakhstan, large-scale US hydro (Pacific Northwest, Tennessee).
- $0.06/kWh — Cheap (industrial commercial) Texas (ERCOT off-peak), Alberta & Manitoba (Canada), Russia, parts of Eastern Europe.
- $0.08/kWh — Below-average (competitive commercial) US commercial average (~7–8¢), Canada residential, parts of Australia, some EU industrial zones.
- $0.10/kWh — Average (US residential) US residential average (~10–11¢), UK off-peak, parts of Southeast Asia.
- $0.12/kWh — High (European/Australian residential) Germany (~30¢), UK residential (~24¢), Australia (~25¢), Japan, most of Western Europe.
