Cumulative cash position
Year by year
Net profit is after utility cost, network fees, upkeep, rent, loan payments and the host share. Payback counts the cash you put in up front (after any state incentive) against yearly net profit. Prices and costs are estimates; confirm real rates, demand charges and incentives for each site.
