Litecoin mining ROI calculator
Separate LTC and DOGE revenue, compare hardware and test your electricity costs before committing to a purchase.
Mining profitability calculator
Estimate LTC and DOGE revenue at separate network difficulties. All money values are in USD.
If your electricity tariff or hardware quote is in another currency, convert it to USD with Currency Converter Live before entering it. Reference rates are estimates; use your actual conversion rate when available.
Your hardware and costs
Starting electricity, fee and uptime values are editable assumptions. Presets specify one machine; enter total hashrate and power for a fleet. Miner and additional cooling electricity stop during downtime in this model; other daily costs continue. Include idle consumption in other costs if your equipment remains powered. Cooling is additional to the miner’s wall power; do not count built-in fans twice.
Seven configurations and manufacturer sources · checked 30 September 2026 UTC. Hydro presets require external cooling; enter its measured power. Listed prices are not purchase quotes.
Market and network inputs
A multiplier of 2 halves that coin’s yield. DOGE rewards require a pool that credits them to you; some pools convert them to LTC. Network snapshot: LTC / DOGE, via Blockchair. Prices are indicative market quotes, not executable offers.

Daily revenue and costs
| Item | Amount | USD/day |
|---|---|---|
| Waiting for valid inputs | ||
Coin yields are before the pool fee. Operating profit excludes tax, financing, depreciation, resale value and any costs you have not entered. One year means 365 days at unchanged inputs; this is not a forecast.
Compare hardware
Same prices, network difficulties, fee, electricity rate, uptime and daily overhead as above. Use saved scenarios to compare purchase costs.

What changes your margin?
The blue line changes both coin prices together. The orange line changes both network difficulties together. Each varies one factor while holding your other inputs fixed.

How the calculation works
For each coin: expected coins/day ≈ hashrate in GH/s × 1,000,000,000 × 86,400 × uptime fraction × block subsidy ÷ (difficulty × 2³² × your difficulty multiplier). Each network has its own difficulty. Network hashrate is an estimate and is shown for context, not used as a substitute for either difficulty.
Litecoin targets one block every 150 seconds (576/day); Dogecoin targets one every 60 seconds (1,440/day). Those intervals explain network issuance; they are not an extra multiplier in the difficulty formula. DOGE pays 10,000 coins per block. Litecoin’s subsidy follows the next block height and halves every 840,000 blocks. Transaction fees and other merged-mined coins are excluded.
Daily profit = coin revenue − pool fee − electricity − other running costs. Break-even electricity = (revenue after pool fee − other running costs) ÷ active daily kWh. Payback = purchase and setup cost ÷ positive daily profit. Annual ROI = (365 × daily profit − purchase and setup cost) ÷ purchase and setup cost × 100%. No positive profit means no payback in this static model.
Automatic inputs expire after 15 minutes; a block older than 30 minutes also blocks automatic estimates. Cached data retain their original timestamp. Manual mode lets you enter explicit assumptions. Pool payout methods, luck, rejected shares, firmware fees and downtime can change your actual payout.

Same miner, before and after block 3,360,000
Hold the form’s prices, difficulties, power costs and uptime constant. Only the Litecoin subsidy changes from 6.25 to 3.125 LTC. DOGE stays separate and unchanged if merged mining is selected.

12-month operating scenario
This model uses 30-day months. Percentage changes apply to both coin prices or both network difficulties; they are assumptions, not fitted forecasts. Change the main inputs for a different starting point.
| Month | LTC revenue/day | DOGE revenue/day | 30-day net profit | Cumulative net | After hardware cost |
|---|
Electricity price, equipment efficiency, pool fee and uptime stay fixed. No resale value, financing, tax, reinvestment or compound increase in hardware hashrate is assumed. The halving month is chosen by you; it is not inferred from a calendar estimate.
