What ROI means
ROI compares net return with the original investment. In mining, it shows how much value remains after hardware and operating costs.

How Mining ROI Is Calculated
ROI vs payback
Payback answers when the initial investment is recovered. ROI measures the return over a period such as 6, 12 or 24 months.
ROI is not guaranteed
Mining ROI changes with BTC price, network difficulty, uptime, electricity rates, pool fees and hardware performance.
