What is the HashVault pool fee?
HashVault’s published Monero mining pool fee is 0.9% of mining rewards. That means you keep 99.1% before any other costs; check its current Monero pool page before you start, since fees can change.
What the 0.9% fee means for you
A mining pool combines your computer’s mining work with work from other miners. When the pool earns a reward, it shares that reward according to its payment rules. The pool fee is the portion it keeps for running the service.
At a 0.9% fee, the calculation is:
- Pool fee: your reward before the fee × 0.009.
- Amount after the fee: your reward before the fee × 0.991.
For example, if your share of rewards before the fee were 0.01 XMR, HashVault’s cut would be 0.00009 XMR. You would have 0.00991 XMR left after that fee.
XMR is the short name for Monero’s coin. This example only shows the fee calculation. It is not a prediction of what your computer will earn.
How the fee is collected
You normally do not pay a mining pool fee separately or send money upfront. The pool accounts for its fee when calculating the rewards credited to miners.
That distinction matters if someone asks you to send XMR to “activate” HashVault mining or unlock a special fee rate. Treat an unexpected payment request as a warning sign, and verify it through the pool’s official information.
Also, 0.9% is a share of rewards, not a charge on your entire wallet balance. It does not mean HashVault takes 0.9% of coins you already hold elsewhere.
What that percentage does not cover
The pool fee alone does not tell you your total mining cost or how much will reach your wallet.
Keep these separate:
- Electricity: your computer uses power while mining. HashVault’s fee does not pay that bill.
- Mining software fees: some mining programs take an additional developer fee, often by mining for their developer briefly.
- Website or service fees: if you mine through a browser service, that service may take its own cut. Do not assume HashVault’s percentage is the only deduction.
- Payout terms: check the current withdrawal rules, including any payout charge and the minimum balance needed before coins are sent.
A minimum payout is not itself a fee. It is an amount you must accumulate before receiving a payment. For a slow miner, that waiting period can matter more than a small difference in pool fees.
The bottom line
Use 0.9% as HashVault’s published Monero pool fee, and confirm it on the current pool page before connecting. For every hypothetical 1 XMR earned before the pool fee, that leaves 0.991 XMR afterward—but electricity, software, browser-service charges, and payout terms still need a separate check.
