Staking Rewards Calculator

Crypto staking earnings from staked amount, APY, compound frequency, validator fees, and optional coin price appreciation.

Auto-compounding restakes rewards each period, so future rewards accrue on a growing balance via FV = P x (1 + APY/n)^(n*t). Off = simple interest.

Yes. Validator fees reduce effective yield, and yearly price appreciation shows both coin and USD outcomes plus separate fee / price impact.

APR (annual percentage rate) is the simple yearly reward rate before any reinvesting, so a 6% APR on 100 coins pays roughly 6 coins a year on your original stake. APY (annual percentage yield) already assumes those rewards are restaked, so the rate compounds on a growing balance and ends up higher than the stated APR for the same nominal rate. Because most networks let you auto-restake, the APY is the number that reflects what you actually keep. The size of the gap depends on how often rewards compound — daily compounding produces a noticeably higher APY than yearly. This calculator's APR vs APY tab shows both side by side for your exact inputs, so you can see how many extra coins reinvesting earns. Toggle auto-compound on and off to watch the two figures diverge.

Compound frequency is how often your rewards are restaked, and more frequent compounding raises your effective yield because each new reward immediately starts earning more rewards. The math is effective APY equals (1 + APR/n) raised to the power n, minus 1, where n is the number of compounding periods per year. Moving from yearly to daily compounding at the same nominal rate lifts your effective return, though the jump shrinks at higher frequencies — daily versus weekly is a small difference, while none versus yearly is large. The gains also grow with a longer time horizon, since compounding builds on itself year after year. This calculator lets you pick none, yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, or daily restaking and instantly recomputes your final balance. Try a few frequencies to see how much auto-restaking is worth for your stake.

A validator or pool commission is the cut the operator takes off your gross rewards before they reach you, and it lowers your effective yield rather than your principal. This calculator applies it as net rate equals APY times (1 minus fee), so a 6% advertised yield with a 5% validator fee earns at an effective 5.7%. That gap looks small in a single year, but because the fee shrinks every reward that would otherwise be restaked, it compounds against you over long horizons and the lost coins add up. The tool surfaces a separate fee-impact figure precisely so you can see that cumulative cost instead of just the headline APY. Comparing validators that charge 2% versus 10% can meaningfully change a multi-year outcome. Enter your validator's commission to see exactly how much it trims from your final balance.

Staking yields vary widely by network because they depend on how many tokens are staked, the protocol's issuance schedule, and validator performance. This calculator ships one-tap presets reflecting typical recent rates: Ethereum around 4%, Solana around 7%, Cardano around 3%, Polkadot around 12%, Cosmos around 15%, Avalanche around 9%, and Polygon around 5%. Generally, higher advertised yields come with higher token inflation, so a big APY does not automatically mean more real purchasing power if the coin's supply is expanding fast. These presets are starting points for modeling, not live quotes — actual rates drift as network participation changes and protocols adjust rewards. The calculator lets you override any preset with your own rate once you check current figures. Load a preset, then confirm the live APY with your chosen validator before staking.

Many proof-of-stake networks require an unbonding or lock-up window — a delay between requesting your coins back and actually being able to move or sell them, sometimes days or weeks. This calculator models reward growth, fees, compounding, and price scenarios, but it does not subtract liquidity risk because unbonding times vary by network and validator and do not change the rewards you accrue while staked. What they do affect is your ability to exit quickly if prices move, which is a planning consideration outside the math. Treat the projected balance as an estimate of earnings, then check your network's unbonding period separately before committing funds you might need soon. The price-appreciation input lets you stress-test how a downturn during a lock-up could affect USD value. Use it alongside your validator's stated unbonding terms for a fuller picture.
