Another good calculator: http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/
It auto-fills current difficulty; just put in your info and read the results.
Also keep in mind that the difficulty has recently been rapidly increasing (due to ASIC miners coming online) so the amount of BTC you generate will probably continue to significantly decrease as time goes on. Throw an unstable USD/BTC exchange rate into the mix and mining starts looking like a complete gamble.
But there isn't much risk if you already own the hardware since the hardware wear and tear is minor if you keep fan speeds around 85%, run your rig in a cool environment, and make sure you set your miner to prevent the card(s) from overheating. Simply stop mining if your electricity cost starts exceeding your mining returns and your loss will be minimal if at all.

http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator - this was a really basic calc that was shared but i dont know how accurate it is.
At a 600 Mhash/s average rate will i be getting 3 bucks a day avg at bitcoincz or .03 cents just a straight forward answer would be nice.
im new to btc also and just start mining 2 days ago.i was wondering the same thing, how to calculate from Mhash/sec to usd/day or to kwh/day ?
thanks inadvance
On the worker reg site when logged in their is a difficulty rating. I am speculating that most of the new people at this time just have some decent 1 to 2 graphics cards' in their gaming rigs and want to see if they can earn a little extra coin. Most of us would have overclocking down etc but the ultimate response they are all looking for is...... is this worth my time - ware and tear on my equipment to go through with it.
