This calculator uses live data: BTC price from CoinGecko API (auto-updates every 60 seconds) and difficulty from blockchain.info API. MONTH 1 shows first month production. YEAR 1 assumes STATIC DIFFICULTY (no difficulty growth) - actual difficulty will fluctuate. Operating Cost Per BTC = monthly operating expenses ÷ gross BTC mined (shows cost to produce vs buying at spot). Mining Discount compares mining cost vs spot purchase. Payback Period based on net cash outlay after Section 179 tax benefit (tax refund received at tax time). Tax-Adjusted ROI = (Year 1 Returns + Tax Savings) ÷ Total Investment. Section 179 benefit depends on individual tax circumstances—consult your CPA. This is not financial or tax advice.
