From a percentage to a daily amount
First calculate gross revenue: 200 TH/s × USD 0.04 per TH/s/day = USD 8 per day. An example 2.8% developer fee represents 8 × 0.028 = USD 0.224. Revenue after that fee is 8 - 0.224 = USD 7.776.
The calculation expresses the developer share in money at the chosen revenue basis. It does not describe an additional invoice. In our example, unchanged inputs for 30 days give USD 6.72 per device or USD 672 for 100 identical devices.
| Step | Calculation | USD/day |
|---|---|---|
| Gross revenue | 200 × 0.04 | 8.000 |
| Developer share | 8 × 0.028 | 0.224 |
| After Dev Fee | 8 - 0.224 | 7.776 |
Where the same fee can accidentally be deducted twice
Suppose USD 7.776 is already the revenue after that developer fee. If it is treated as a new gross figure and reduced by 2.8% again, the result becomes USD 7.558272. That second subtraction removes another USD 0.217728 per day from the calculation without representing another fee in the example.
The mistake can also enter through hashrate: if a number already excludes the developer share, applying the fee to that same basis again can reduce it twice. Before entering data, establish which hashrate and revenue figures are before the fee and which are after it.
What to enter in our calculator
Our calculator asks for gross revenue per TH/s per day before Dev Fee. In this example, enter 0.04, the hashrate of 200 and the example fee of 2.8. It applies the fee once. Do not divide the already adjusted USD 7.776 by 200, enter 0.03888 as gross revenue and then subtract the fee again.
If all you have is a pool payment, check what the payment includes. Pool fees, settlement periods, rejected work and other adjustments can prevent a simple reversal. Do not treat an unexplained payout as a clean before-fee figure.
Three fields must describe one basis
Gross revenue: USD 0.04 / TH/s / day
Hashrate: 200 TH/s before the developer share
Dev Fee: 2.8% for this example
Open the calculator and enter these values for the profile you are modelling. Set the second profile to your own comparison inputs.
Open the calculator →The developer fee is one part of the operating result
A fee percentage alone cannot decide between two profiles. With 3,000 W and an example tariff of USD 0.08/kWh, daily electricity costs 3 × 24 × 0.08 = USD 5.76. The example profile then leaves 7.776 - 5.76 = USD 2.016 before other costs.
That is the useful comparison: revenue after the fee, less the actual electricity and other costs you choose to include. A profile with a different hashrate, power draw or fee needs its own inputs. Our two-profile calculator keeps those differences visible.
Use the rate from the build you intend to run
Check the applicable developer fee in the firmware and the terms for the selected build. Our example rate is not a substitute for those terms. Keep the source of your revenue estimate and its time period with the calculation.
When you ask us about a fleet, bring the exact model, board, device count, tariff, two profiles and fee basis. We can then discuss the amount left after costs instead of comparing percentages in isolation.
