Ethereum Mining Calculator
Estimate Ethereum staking rewards from your stake amount, ETH price, annual APY, and staking service fee — reframed around staking since Ethereum moved to Proof-of-Stake in 2022.

Why Is This a Staking Calculator, Not a Mining Calculator?
Ethereum moved from Proof-of-Work mining to Proof-of-Stake in September 2022 (an upgrade known as "The Merge"). Traditional GPU mining no longer works on Ethereum mainnet — there are no blocks left to mine with graphics cards. Earning ETH rewards today means staking: locking up ETH to help validate the network, either by running your own validator (which requires 32 ETH) or by joining a staking pool or exchange staking product that pools smaller amounts together, typically for a service fee. This calculator estimates staking rewards instead of describing a mining process that no longer applies.
How the Estimate Is Calculated
Enter the amount of ETH you plan to stake, the current ETH price, the annual percentage yield (APY) your validator or staking provider is offering, and any service fee the provider charges. The calculator multiplies your stake by the APY to get a gross annual reward, subtracts the service fee, and breaks the net result down into annual, monthly, and daily ETH and USD figures.
Example
Staking 32 ETH at a 3.5% APY through a pool with a 10% service fee earns a gross 1.12 ETH per year. After the fee, the net reward is about 1.008 ETH annually — roughly 0.084 ETH per month — worth around $3,024 at a $3,000 ETH price.
Common Use Cases
- Comparing staking APY offers across different exchanges or staking pools.
- Estimating the passive income potential of running a solo Ethereum validator.
- Deciding whether a pool's service fee is worth the convenience of lower minimums.
- Projecting monthly staking income for tax or budgeting purposes.
FAQs
Can I still mine Ethereum with a GPU?
Not on Ethereum mainnet — mining ended with the Merge in September 2022. Some GPU miners moved to mining other proof-of-work coins instead, but Ethereum itself is validated entirely through staking now.
How accurate is this staking reward estimate?
It's a simplified projection, not a guarantee. Actual staking APY fluctuates with total network stake and protocol parameters, ETH's price is highly volatile, and validators can face penalties (slashing) for downtime or misbehavior that reduce real returns below the estimate.
What is the minimum to start staking?
Running your own validator requires exactly 32 ETH. Staking pools and most exchanges let you stake much smaller amounts by pooling funds with other users, usually in exchange for a service fee that reduces your net yield.
