Enter the hashrate and power consumption into the calculator to determine the hashrate per watt. This calculator helps in evaluating the efficiency of a cryptocurrency mining setup.

Hashrate Per Watt Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the hashrate per watt.

HPW = H / P

Variables:

  • HPW is the hashrate per watt (MH/s per Watt)
  • H is the hashrate (MH/s)
  • P is the power consumption (Watts)

To calculate the hashrate per watt, divide the hashrate by the power consumption.

What is Hashrate Per Watt?

Hashrate per watt is a measure of the efficiency of a cryptocurrency mining rig. It indicates how many megahashes per second (MH/s) the rig can perform for each watt of electricity consumed. A higher hashrate per watt means the rig is more efficient, as it can process more hashes with less power, which is crucial for profitability in mining operations.

How to Calculate Hashrate Per Watt?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Hashrate Per Watt.


  1. First, determine the hashrate (H) of the mining rig in megahashes per second (MH/s).
  2. Next, determine the power consumption (P) of the mining rig in watts.
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = HPW = H / P.
  4. Finally, calculate the Hashrate Per Watt (HPW).
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

hashrate (H) = 500 MH/s

power consumption (P) = 1000 Watts
