The method
How it is worked out
APY = (1 + APR ÷ n)^n − 1; tokens = staked × (1 + APR ÷ n)^(n × years)
- n
- Compounding periods per year
- fee
- Share of rewards kept by the validator or platform
Staking Rewards Calculator
Project staking income with compounding, convert APR to APY, and see what a price fall would do to the value of the rewards. The result updates as you type so you can compare scenarios quickly.
Keep in mind
What it leaves out
- Slashing and lock-upsPenalties and unbonding periods are not modelled.
- Rate changesNetwork yields fall as more is staked.
- TaxRewards are usually taxable as income when received.
Use the calculator to compare scenarios rather than as a guaranteed forecast.
About the Staking Rewards Calculator
Project staking income with compounding, convert an advertised APR to a true APY after validator fees, and see what a fall in the token's price would do to the value of the rewards.
How it works and an example to tryShow less
How to use the result
The advertised rate is reduced by the fee share to a net APR, then compounded at the chosen frequency to give APY and the token balance over the years entered. Rewards are valued at today's price and at the price after the change entered.
Example to try
Staking 1,000 tokens at £25 with a 6% rate, 10% fee and weekly compounding earns about 176 tokens over three years (5.55% APY). A 20% price fall leaves the whole position worth less than the £25,000 put in.

Who uses it, and when
Token holders deciding whether to stake, DeFi users comparing validators and platforms, and investors weighing yield against price risk.
Mistakes worth avoiding
- Treating APR and APY as the same number.
- Ignoring the validator or platform fee.
- Staking a token you would not otherwise hold, chasing yield into price risk.
