Staking Yield Calculator
Calculate staking returns with compounding and validator commission.
About Staking Yield Calculator
Compounding raises the effective yield above the nominal rate, and daily compounding captures most of the available benefit. Validator commission is deducted from rewards before compounding applies. Quoted rates are often APR while returns are experienced as APY, so comparing validators requires putting both on the same basis.
Formula
Staking Yield
APY = (1 + rate ÷ n)^n − 1, applied after deducting validator commission
- APR
- Simple annual rate before compounding
- APY
- Effective rate after compounding, always higher than APR

Assumptions and limits
- The result is derived only from the 5 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
- In particular, this calculator does not take inflation or tax into account.
- Figures are rounded for display to 4 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
- This is an illustrative calculation, not financial advice. Staking carries risks including price volatility, lock-up periods, validator slashing and protocol changes, none of which this projection accounts for.
How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
