Its just an estimate, but if your actual hash is  10ths, you should a little less/more than 5

I believe that the OP is talking about the S1 not S2; in which case the 2 t/h total is accurate for 10 overclocked S1s.

Do your own calculation. And make sure to consider the increasing hash rate as seen on https://blockchain.info/charts/hash-rate

I recommend this calculator https://cex.io/calc   I'm assuming that you will make about 13 btcs(total before october) with 2 t/h until the returns in btc become too insignificant to operate vs cost of electricity.  I'm mining with 6 overclocked antminers for a total of 1.15 t/h (real-world operation hash rate) and hope to reach about 6-7 btcs by end of september.  10 antminers are going to produce quite a bit of noise and loads of heat so consider that into consideration as well.  Also, make sure that the circuits that you will use can handle that kind of load.  You may already know all this but doesn't hurt to repeat safety precautions.

Use a calculator that takes difficulty into account https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator

Also, that is an estimate, your pool can have good or bad luck.

That's at today's difficulty I assume.  You have to factor when you will actually get the machine in hand, what will the difficulty will be then and how will it change over time.

not accurate. just a rough guide.

by the time you bought the rigs. 10,000 more people may have turned their rigs on, which cuts the slice of the pie more thinly when it comes to shares. and then their rigs add to the hashpower making the difficulty raise each 2 weeks for everyone involved. no one can predict how many users will join tomorrow, so by the time you bought the rigs, the hashpower has changed. and if its been 2 weeks, the difficulty has changed. (2 factors that alter the siz of the share you will get)

so treat it as rough estimate, not something to base 'guaranteed income' on.. you will never know exact numbers of fnds you receive, ntil you receive it.
