Besides the simple fact that they're meant to calculate all factors happening right now, some calculators also slightly inflate or decrease earnings figures, which can be annoying sometimes. Some calculators also try to predict difficulty linearly or using other sorts of functions, but that's no better or worse than a calculator that simply extrapolates current earning figures.

In my experience, Whattomine's acceptably accurate for what I've mined (ETH, XMR), and the same goes for CryptoCompare, which is simple and also lets you set a pool fee for a more accurate earnings calculation. There's nothing of the sort on Whattomine, and it's honestly a bit surprising to me- even though pool fees are traditionally around 1% for most coins, it amounts to quite a bit over an extended period of time.

Last, don't forget that mining calculators are completely approximate in the near term and aren't meant to accurately predict the future. Use it as a guideline to determine about how profitable mining may be for you currently, and look at news and possible forks, etc to figure out if mining is worth it or not in a situation.

Use WhatToMine.com. The best available mining calculator which tells you about the current most profitable coins to mine according to what GPU you have. Moreover, it keeps you updated with the new mine-able coins popping up and you much revenue (in BTC and USD) you can earn weekly and monthly after your electricity costs have been deducted (of course, you put the cost of your electricity as well, per kWh).

Try it out.
In general terms. How assertive is Whattomine? 80% presicion?
I think the numbers on that calculator are too optimistic

They're 100% accurate and produce the results according to the current "price and mining difficulty of the coin". However, the thing that makes the actual output/coins/earnings you receive less precise and less accurate is the variation of the price and difficulty of coin while you mine it.

Suppose that WhatToMine.com projects $10/week earnings through your each GPU for Ethereum, but till the time you actually mine it and receive it in your wallet, Ethereum price might go down, which can lessen your per week earnings. This is the only thing which can make your overall calculation through WhatToMine.com inaccurate, otherwise, it's always accurate and according to the current rate.

I do find there is a 10-20% variance. Besides when coin stats are wrong, I think they don't take pool shares into account properly... most calculators are a bit off though so just have to take them with a pinch of salt
