- Enter the stake and APR from the scenario you want to test.
- Set the term in months and compounding frequency: 1, 12 or 365 periods per year.
- Compare rewards and effective annual rate; change the frequency while keeping the APR fixed.
Staking calculator
Estimate how a stake changes under a fixed APR and reinvestment schedule. Compare the reward amount with the effective annual rate; the entered APR is an assumption. Free, without registration.

Method and limitations
Fixed APR and reinvested rewards: P × (1 + APR / n)^(n × years). Rates are entered by you; fees, lockups, slashing and changing protocol rates are excluded.
How to use this calculator
How the calculation works
Fixed APR and reinvested rewards: P × (1 + APR / n)^(n × years). Rates are entered by you; fees, lockups, slashing and changing protocol rates are excluded.
How to read the result
Rewards are final value minus the original stake. The effective annual rate includes the modelled reinvestment, so it can differ from APR. A larger token balance does not establish its future value in another currency.

Frequently asked questions
What does this calculator show?
Estimate how a stake changes under a fixed APR and reinvestment schedule. Compare the reward amount with the effective annual rate; the entered APR is an assumption.
Are APR and effective annual yield the same?
APR is the nominal input rate. Reinvesting rewards more frequently changes the effective annual rate in this constant-rate model.
Does this calculate a validator’s actual rewards?
No. Validator fees, protocol rate changes, lockups, slashing and token price changes are excluded. Compare the assumptions with the actual staking rules.
Do I need an account or payment to calculate?
No. All fields and results are free. You can change inputs and compare scenarios without an account. An account is only needed for synchronising a plan in the dashboard.
