Estimates only. Rental price fields are placeholders and should be replaced with a current quote.

What this page models
This calculator assumes a rented hashrate amount, a duration, and a BTC-per-unit-per-day rental quote. It converts the quote into total cost, then applies the same Poisson block probability model used across MiningOdds.
The expected value fields are useful for comparing scenarios, but the actual solo mining outcome remains binary. The most likely outcome panel makes that explicit.
For budget-first analysis, use the budget mining calculator. For direct probability from hashrate, use the mining calculator.
Frequently asked questions
Is rented hashrate the same as owning the hardware?
No. Renting only buys the mining output of that hashrate for a fixed duration. You keep no hardware afterward, so the entire rental cost is at risk regardless of whether a block is found.
Why can expected ROI be negative even when a rental sometimes pays off?
Expected ROI is the average outcome across many identical rentals, not a single-rental prediction. A negative expected ROI means the rental price is high relative to expected reward on average, even though any individual rental can still find a block and profit.
Does the rental price field include marketplace fees?
No. Enter the effective price per unit per day you would actually pay, including any marketplace fee, since the calculator does not add fees on top of the entered price.
