How much XMR do I earn per 1 kH/s per day?

At 1 kH/s, your estimated daily earnings are 432 ÷ the Monero network’s total hashrate in kH/s, before fees and other losses. There is no fixed XMR-per-day rate: your earnings depend on how much of the network’s mining power your 1 kH/s represents.

What 1 kH/s earns in practice

Hashrate means how many mining calculations your device performs each second. A speed of 1 kH/s means 1,000 calculations per second.

Monero produces a block roughly every two minutes. Each block pays a base reward of 0.6 XMR, so the network produces about 432 XMR per day in base rewards. Your expected share is proportional to your share of the network’s hashrate.

For a steady 1 kH/s running all day:

Expected XMR/day ≈ 432 × (1 kH/s ÷ network hashrate in kH/s)

For example, if the network were running at 4 GH/s:

• 4 GH/s means 4 billion calculations per second.
• That equals 4,000,000 kH/s.
• Your estimate would be 432 ÷ 4,000,000.
• The result would be 0.000108 XMR per day, before deductions.

That is an illustration, not a claim about today’s network speed. Transaction fees included in block rewards can add slightly to the estimate.

Why the daily rate changes

Your 1 kH/s competes with everyone else mining Monero. When more mining power joins the network, your share becomes smaller. When mining power leaves, your share becomes larger.

Monero adjusts its mining difficulty, the measure of how hard it is to find a block, every block. This helps keep blocks arriving about two minutes apart.

To get a useful current estimate, check a live Monero mining calculator and enter 1,000 H/s. Alternatively, check a live blockchain explorer—a service that displays network activity—and use its estimated network hashrate in the formula above.

Be careful with units. Mixing up H/s, kH/s, and GH/s can make an estimate thousands or millions of times too large.

What you actually receive

The formula gives a long-run average, not a guaranteed daily payment.

Your credited earnings can be lower because of:

• Pool fees: A mining pool combines miners’ work and shares rewards, usually charging a fee.
• Rejected work: Some submitted calculations arrive too late or cannot be counted.
• Downtime: Closing your browser, sleeping your device, or losing your connection reduces mining time.
• Service deductions: A browser-mining service may keep part of the rewards.

Use your sustained, accepted hashrate, not a brief peak shown on screen. If you achieve 1 kH/s for only 12 hours, your expected daily earnings are roughly half the full-day estimate.

A payout threshold can also delay payment. You might accumulate a small balance each day without receiving XMR in your wallet that day.

The bottom line

For 1 kH/s running continuously, estimate daily XMR as 432 divided by the current network hashrate in kH/s, then account for fees and missed mining time. Electricity does not change how much XMR you earn, but it does affect whether those earnings leave you with a profit. Treat any promise of a fixed daily XMR return per 1 kH/s with caution.
