Fees marked ~4% are estimates for pools that do not publish a base fee. To turn a fee into dollars, multiply it by the current hashprice, now $40.00per PH/s per day, and by your fleet's hashrate in PH/s.
How to choose a mining pool
Start with total cost, not the headline fee. Base fee times the current hashprice is the dollar price of the pool, so at $40 per PH/s per day a 2% fee costs a 10 PH/s farm about $8 a day. Then weigh size: a big pool pays evenly because it finds blocks all day, while a small one pays in lumps. Check the minimum payout against your fleet, since a threshold that a farm clears daily can lock up a small miner's coins for weeks. Ask who holds the funds between payouts: most pools are custodial, while OCEAN pays miners straight from the block itself. Finally, test stratum latency from your site and look at how long the operator has run without incident.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Bitcoin mining pool is the largest?
Foundry USA has been the largest Bitcoin mining pool for several years, typically controlling around a quarter to a third of the global network hashrate, followed by AntPool and F2Pool. The live table on this page shows the current ranking.
Which mining pool has the lowest fees?
Published base fees range from 0% at OCEAN to about 4%. Foundry USA and MARA Pool negotiate terms per client rather than publishing a rate. The headline fee is only part of the cost: minimum payout thresholds, payout steadiness and who holds your coins between payouts all change what a pool actually costs you.
Does pool size matter for my payouts?
Yes, it sets how smooth your income is. A pool with a large network share finds many blocks a day, so payouts track expected value closely. A pool with under 1% of the network can go days without a block, so short-term income swings with luck even if the long-run average is the same.
How is network share calculated?
Network share is a pool's hashrate divided by the combined hashrate of all pools tracked on this page. Because hashrate cannot be measured directly, it is estimated from the number of blocks each pool finds and the current difficulty.
