How this is calculated
scaled_images/hr = 450 * (546 GB/s / 100 GB/s) = 2457
revenue/hr = 2457 images/hr * $0.0015/image = $3.6855
marginal_watts = 50W (inference) - 20W (idle) = 30W
elec/hr = (30W / 1000) * $0.15/kWh = $0.0045
net/hr = $3.6855 - $0.0045 = $3.6810
monthly = $3.6810 * 12 hrs/day * 30 days = $1325.16
Your Mac earns more idle than...
These are estimates only. We do not guarantee any specific utilization or earnings. Actual earnings depend on network demand, model popularity, your provider reputation score, and how many other providers are serving the same model.
When your Mac is idle (no inference requests), it consumes minimal power — you don't lose significant money waiting for requests. The electricity costs shown only apply during active inference.
Text models typically see the highest and most consistent demand. Image generation and transcription requests are bursty — high volume during peaks, quiet otherwise.
