Calculators

Exergy provides free online calculators to help you evaluate whether Bitcoin mining-powered heating makes sense for your situation. These tools let you model real-world scenarios using live Bitcoin network data, regional energy prices, and your specific circumstances.

Why We Built These

Hashrate heating economics depend on many variables: your electricity rate, local fuel prices, Bitcoin network conditions, and the mining hardware you choose. Rather than rely on rough estimates, our calculators let you plug in your actual numbers and see exactly what you’d save (or spend) compared to traditional heating.

What You Can Figure Out

  • Is hashrate heating right for me? Compare the effective cost of heating with a Bitcoin miner vs. your current fuel (natural gas, propane, heating oil, or heat pump).
  • How much will I save? See your potential monthly and annual savings in dollars.
  • What’s my break-even electricity rate? Find the maximum $/kWh where hashrate heating still beats your alternatives.
  • How do different miners compare? Evaluate space heater-class miners vs. HVAC-integrated units.
  • How sensitive are my results? Explore how changes in BTC price, electricity rates, or fuel costs affect your bottom line.

Available Calculators

Hashrate Heating Calculator

Our flagship calculator for evaluating Bitcoin mining as a heating strategy. Features include:

  • Live Bitcoin data - Real-time BTC price and network hashrate from public APIs
  • Regional pricing - Pre-loaded electricity and fuel prices for all 50 US states and 13 Canadian provinces
  • Multiple fuel comparisons - Natural gas, propane, heating oil, electric resistance, heat pump, and wood pellets
  • 8 miner presets - Popular heating miners with custom input option
  • Interactive charts - Sensitivity analysis showing how results change with different variables
  • Geographic heat map - Visual comparison across all regions

Solar Monetization Calculator

Evaluate whether Bitcoin mining is a better use of your solar energy than selling it back to the grid. Features include:

  • Three input modes - Estimate from location, enter your production data, or model excess solar
  • NREL PVWatts integration - Automatic solar production estimates by ZIP code
  • Net metering comparison - Compare mining against bill credits, net billing, or annual cash-out
  • kWh-based calculations - Only miner efficiency matters
  • Three-Knob Override System - Model different BTC prices, network conditions, and fee environments
  • Monthly breakdown charts - See seasonal variations in solar mining revenue
