How to use Staking Rewards Calculator
Enter stake size, APR, and time horizon. Choose simple or compounded accrual to see projected token rewards. Confirm real commission and lockups on the protocol.
Example: staking $1,000 at 5% APR for a year
You stake $1,000 at 5% APR for 365 days. Rewards either pay out simply or compound daily.
- Simple: $1,000 × (1 + 0.05 × 1) = $1,050
- Daily compounding: $1,000 × (1 + 0.05 ÷ 365)^365 = $1,051.27
Simple interest earns $50; daily compounding earns $51.27, an effective yield of 5.13%. Price changes of the staked token are not included.
Formula & methodology
Simple: rewards ≈ stake × APR × (days/365). Compounded approximates (1+APR/n)^(n×years)−1 on stake. Price risk is ignored — rewards are in token units unless you mark them separately.
Project staking rewards before you lock
Staking and liquid staking ads quote APR that may exclude validator commission, downtime, or unbonding delays. Running the numbers yourself avoids surprise shortfalls.
Compounding assumptions matter: auto-compounding liquid staking tokens behave differently from claim-and-restake workflows. Match the frequency to what the product actually does.
Pair with APR→APY conversion for rate language, and with historical price if you care about USD outcomes rather than token count alone.
