<p>Knowing the hash rate is essential for you.</p>

<p>Why?</p>

<p>Your question is like, if I hire a worker, how many hours per day can my worker work?
OK, so you should know the primitive knowledge about your worker.
Such as how strong he is or how many hours he can work or how much cost to work for one day (lunch or rest cost).
Well, you must first measure the worker's default data, or the second step in the work that you work for.
Therefore, knowing the amount of hash of your operation is very necessary.
But you can now enjoy the famous swimming pool charts for each TH/s.
Please calculate <a href="https://www.antpool.com/support.htm?m=calculator" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>

<p>And there is a very nice calculator <a href="https://btc.com/tools/mining-calculator" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>, base on every known thing from your rig.</p>

<p>At last, try to find out, which device or rig are you going to buy (to know power cost/maintenance cost and price of the rig).</p>

Both the links that you provide again ask for my hash rate which I don't know for my machines.     


>*How many hours per day, My worker can work*     



can I not just feed some algorithms different values of time and get different values as output?

You are not have to wnter the hash rate in those links. Just fill other fields. The calculator tell you the estimated hash rate base on the information you entered.

<p>First going the easy way, I would use any online calculator but most of these mining calculators require the hash rate of my device. I am unable to find a suitable answer or a guide to easily compute this value for any device given its configurations. Will that be possible?</p>

<p>Scenario: </p>

<p>When I go to these online calculator sites, they again cross question me about the hash rate/ hashing power. I need to determine this value and feed in to these sites so that I can get the desired result. (e.g. <a href="https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/btc?HashingPower=4730&amp;HashingUnit=GH%2Fs&amp;PowerConsumption=1293&amp;CostPerkWh=0.12&amp;MiningPoolFee=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">cryptocompare.com</a>). I want to know whether it is easy to calculate these values with some information about your machine like the processor, GPUs and all, how much time I am gonna run it. I know the calculator sites need the power input of the device.</p>
