How Monero Mining Profitability Works
Monero uses the RandomX algorithm, designed to favor CPU mining and resist GPU/ASIC dominance. This makes it uniquely accessible.
The Formula
Key Factors
- Your Hashrate: Higher is better. Modern CPUs achieve 2,000-25,000 H/s.
- Network Hashrate: Total mining power. As more miners join, your share decreases.
- Block Reward: Currently ~0.6 XMR per block, slowly decreasing (Monero has tail emission).
- Electricity: Main variable cost. VPS/server mining has near-zero marginal cost if running anyway.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Monero mining profitable in 2026?
Whether Monero mining is profitable depends on your hardware, electricity costs, and XMR price. For servers and VPS instances already running 24/7, mining has near-zero marginal electricity cost, making it almost always profitable. The calculator above shows your specific numbers.
Can I mine Monero on a regular CPU?
Yes! Monero's RandomX algorithm is specifically designed to favor CPU mining. Almost any modern CPU with 2+ GB of available cache can mine XMR. Performance scales with L3 cache size and memory bandwidth.
What is a good hashrate for Monero mining?
A modern desktop or server CPU achieves 2,000-8,000 H/s with RandomX. AMD Ryzen 9 series and Intel Xeon processors perform best. Our server achieves ~4,400 H/s on 12 threads.
How long to mine 1 XMR?
At 4,400 H/s on a ~1.8 GH/s network, you earn about 0.00015 XMR per day. That means 1 full XMR would take roughly 6,500 days solo. Use a pool like MoneroOcean to receive continuous fractional payouts.
What mining pool should I use for Monero?
MoneroOcean is popular because it auto-switches to the most profitable algorithm. Other options: SupportXMR, xmrpool.eu. Pool fees are typically 0-1%.
