Instantly Calculate Litecoin mining profitability with real-time data. Analyze hashrate, power costs, exchange rates, and pool efficiency for improved return
Litecoin uses the Scrypt algorithm for hashing. Any device capable of running the Scrypt algorithm can technically mine Litecoin, but only specialized Scrypt ASIC miners are profitable, energy-efficient, and viable for long-term LTC mining. Litecoin is also merge-mined with Dogecoin, meaning you can earn both coins at once using the same miner.
Price of Litecoin: The current price of Litecoin is calculated as the median value across major exchanges, shown in USD. This is the real-time market price at which LTC can be bought or sold. The spread between buy and sell prices is typically just a few cents.
Your Hashrate: Input the hashrate of your Litecoin mining device in GH/s. ASIC miners designed for the Scrypt algorithm (such as Antminer L7) offer hashrates ranging from 1 GH/s to over 13 GH/s depending on the model.
Fee - pool fee: This is the mining pool’s fee, deducted from your total rewards. A 1% pool fee means that for every 100 USD worth of LTC mined, you receive 99 USD. Most mining pools charge fees between 1% and 2%.
Power consumption: This is the power draw from the wall during full load operation, measured in watts (W). The miner typically reaches its full power usage within a few minutes after startup. Power may vary ±5% based on ambient temperature and fan speed. Fans may use up to 8% of total power, so cooler environments improve efficiency.
Electricity price in USD: This is the cost you pay per kilowatt-hour (kWh). A miner using 3425 W (3.425 kW) for 24 hours consumes 3.425 × 24 = 82.2 kWh daily. At $0.05 per kWh, the daily electricity cost is 82.2 × 0.05 = $4.11 per day.
Daily estimated earnings: This is your expected daily net profit after subtracting electricity costs. The estimate assumes full-time (24/7) operation and stable performance. Results are shown in both USD and LTC, based on the current network difficulty and market price.
