Crypto Compound Staking Calculator

About this calculator

This calculator projects the compounded value of a crypto staking position, where staking rewards (paid for helping validate transactions on a proof-of-stake blockchain like Ethereum, Cardano, or Solana) are periodically reinvested into the staked balance rather than withdrawn, using the standard compound growth formula applied at your chosen compounding frequency (daily, weekly, or per staking-reward epoch). This produces a meaningfully higher end value than simple, non-compounded APR would suggest.

Crypto investors use this projection to understand the real difference between a protocol's advertised APY (Annual Percentage Yield, which already assumes compounding) versus its APR (Annual Percentage Rate, which does not) — a distinction many staking platforms blur in their marketing — and to model how auto-compounding (via a validator, staking pool, or liquid-staking token) changes returns over months or years compared to manually claiming and never reinvesting rewards.

This calculator takes your staked amount, reward rate, compounding frequency, and time horizon, then returns the total rewards earned, final balance, and effective APY, so you can see how compounding actually grows your position over time.
