Odds are... never.
I was checking on Bitcoinwisdom's mining calculator, and even with a 1% increase in difficulty every 2016 blocks and a 1% pool fee, assuming free... you'll never get back your $20 investment (assuming free shipping). The closest you'd get to breaking even (according to that website) is $19.98 in red. Mining with that for profit isn't worth it. At all. It might be good to get started, to see how mining works, or just for fun. But not for profit.

I repeat, you will never break even if you mine with that.

Then... Why these tiny miners still costs high prices if they return almost nothing?

They mainly are for fun and learning.  They are not made for ROI.

If you want ROI look into bigger gear. And do the math.  What is your electricity price?
