Crypto Staking Calculator
Estimate crypto staking rewards from the APR, commission and compounding.
About the Crypto Staking Calculator
Enter the coins staked, the quoted APR, the validator or exchange commission, how often rewards compound, the period and the coin price. The calculator gives the rewards in coins and money and the effective APY.
Proof-of-stake networks pay rewards for locking coins to help secure the network. Rates are quoted as APR (simple) or APY (with compounding). Validators and exchanges keep a commission, often 5–25% of rewards. Risks include price falls, slashing, lock-up periods and platform failure; rewards are often taxable income when received.
The formula
Balance = coins × (1 + net APR ÷ n)^(n × years); APY = (1 + APR ÷ n)ⁿ − 1
Worked example
32 coins at 3.2% APR with a 10% commission, compounded daily, for a year
- Net APR: 3.2% × 0.9 = 2.88%
- APY with daily compounding: 2.922%
- Rewards: 0.935 coins, about 3,272 at 3,500 a coin
