Crypto Staking Rewards Calculator

About this calculator

Staking rewards on a proof-of-stake blockchain grow the way compound interest does: the protocol pays a reward rate (APR) on your staked balance at set intervals, and if those rewards are automatically re-staked rather than withdrawn, each payout starts earning rewards of its own. The compounding formula is final balance = stake × (1 + APR / n)^(n × t), where n is the number of compounding periods per year and t is the staking period in years; the resulting effective APY — the true annualized return once compounding is accounted for — is always higher than the quoted APR whenever rewards compound more than once a year.

Crypto investors and validators use this math to see past the headline APR that exchanges and staking platforms advertise, because two chains quoting the same APR can deliver very different actual returns depending on how often rewards compound (daily, weekly, per-epoch) and whether they auto-compound at all. It’s the same distinction banks make between a savings account’s nominal rate and its APY.

This calculator takes your staked amount, the annual reward rate, the staking period and how often rewards compound, and returns your total staking rewards, effective APY and final balance side by side.
