**Financial Metrics**:
- **IRR**: Internal Rate of Return (%)
- **Cumulative Profit from Mining**: Total profit over projection period (USD)
- **Final Value of BTC Holdings**: Value of mined BTC at end (USD)
- **Total BTC Mined**: Cumulative Bitcoin earned

**Cost Analysis**:
- **Avg. Cost to Mine 1 BTC**: All-in cost per Bitcoin (USD)
- **Monthly Loan Payment**: Debt service if financing enabled (USD)
- **Total Cost of Loan**: Total interest paid over loan term (USD)
- **BTC Collateral for Loan**: Bitcoin required as collateral

## Usage Example

### Basic Profitability Calculation

1. Navigate to https://learn.braiins.com/en/profitability-calculator
2. Configure inputs:
   - **Hashrate**: 100 TH/s (e.g., Antminer S19 Pro)
   - **Consumption**: 3250 W
   - **Electricity Price**: $0.06/kWh
   - **BTC Price**: $87,689 (current)
   - **Network Difficulty**: 148,258,433,855,481 (current)
   - **Block Subsidy**: 3.125 BTC (current epoch)
3. Review metrics:
   - Check break-even months
   - Analyze profitability at current conditions
   - Project future earnings with difficulty/price changes

### Advanced Scenario Modeling

1. Enable **Advanced Options**:
   - Set **Difficulty Increment**: 5%/year (conservative estimate)
   - Set **Price Increment**: 10%/year (bullish scenario)
   - Account for pool fees: 2%
2. Enable **Debt Financing** (if applicable):
   - Enter equipment loan amount
   - Set interest rate and term
   - Review monthly payment impact on cash flow
3. Compare scenarios:
   - Switch between USD and BTC break-even views
   - Analyze sensitivity to electricity price changes
   - Model halving impact with difficulty drop assumptions

## Quick Reference

### Calculator Shortcuts
- **User Guide**: Click "User Guide" button for in-app help
- **Share**: Generate shareable link to current calculation
- **Currency Toggle**: Switch between USD and BTC display

### Key Assumptions
- **Current Block Reward**: 3.125 BTC (post-April 2024 halving)
- **Next Halving**: ~2028 (3 years from now)
- **Average Block Time**: 10 minutes (~144 blocks/day)

### Profitability Rule of Thumb
```
Daily Revenue = (Hashrate / Network Hashrate) × 144 blocks × Block Reward
Daily Cost = (Power Consumption / 1000) × 24h × Electricity Price

Profitable if: Daily Revenue > Daily Cost
```
