EVE Online ore mining calculator

Set up your mining fleet once and compare every ore at once - what each one yields per hour and what that is worth at the market you sell to.

What goes into the yield

Every bonus multiplies on its own - Mining and Astrogeology, the hull's role and skill bonuses, each Mining Laser Upgrade and each implant. Mining upgrades are not stacking-penalised.
Critical successes count as an average. A modulated strip miner crits 1% of cycles for +200% of the cycle; Mining Precision, Mining Exploitation, a survey chipset and the Mining Laser Efficiency burst raise both numbers.
Crystals are matched per ore family - pick Type A II once and every ore gets the crystal cut for it: Simple for Veldspar, Coherent for Omber, Ubiquitous Moon for Zeolites. Ores no crystal fits are mined without one.
Boosts multiply the Mining Laser Optimization charge (-15% cycle time) by Mining Director, the burst module, the hull bonus, the industrial core and the mindlink - a maxed Orca takes 46.5% off the cycle, a Rorqual 61.5%.

What it does not include

Travel, hauling and time spent changing asteroids are left out: the numbers are what the lasers pull while they run. Residue is shown separately because it empties the belt rather than your hold. Ice and mining drones are not part of this calculator.

Prices come from one market. If raw ore barely trades there, switch to compressed prices - compressed ore refines like the same number of raw units - or check the production chain of what you plan to build from it. Gas has its own calculator.
