# ASIC Mining Break-Even & Profitability Calculator

> ASIC Mining Break-Even & Profitability Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from api.agentstools.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Calculates BTC mining profitability metrics including daily/monthly revenue, power costs, net profit, margin, break-even electricity price, and break-even BTC price for a named ASIC model or raw hashrate/wattage inputs.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability asic-mining-break-even-profitability-calculator-917c4df8
```

Example prompt: What's the daily profit, monthly revenue, and break-even electricity price for an Antminer S21 mining bitcoin at $0.08 per kWh with a 1% pool fee and a hardware cost of $3,000?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need ASIC-specific or custom-hashrate bitcoin mining profitability and break-even analysis, including power cost accounting and optional hardware ROI. Prefer this over generic crypto price endpoints when the user is asking about mining economics, electricity cost thresholds, or hardware investment payback periods.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown model ID — if the model string doesn't match any entry from /mining/asics, the endpoint returns an error; use GET /mining/asics to get valid IDs
- Missing required pairing — providing th_s without watts or watts without th_s returns a validation error
- Conflicting inputs — specifying both a model and raw th_s/watts may cause a conflict error
- Invalid electricity price — negative or zero values may return an error or unrealistic results
- Pool fee out of range — pool_fee_pct outside 0–100 causes a validation error

## How this service works

ASIC-miner break-even and profitability: daily and monthly BTC and USD revenue, power cost, net profit, margin, the break-even electricity price and the break-even BTC price, and optional hardware payback days, for a named miner model or raw hashrate and wattage at a given electricity price. Informational, not advice.

## Output

Returns a structured object with daily and monthly BTC and USD revenue figures, electricity power cost, net profit, profit margin percentage, break-even electricity price (USD/kWh), break-even BTC price (USD), and optionally hardware payback days if hardware cost was provided.
