Staking APR Calculator

Work out the APR your staking really earned from the rewards you received, convert an advertised APY to an APR, and see how the two compare.

What you received

At the start, before any rewards.

After the commission, as paid to you.

What your rewards earned

The rate over the days entered; rates change, so a longer period gives a steadier figure. Enter rewards as they reached you, after any commission. Rates are in coins: the price does not change them. To see the rewards in rupees after India’s tax, use the Staking Rewards Calculator.

How it is calculated

Your stake grew from the coins you staked to those coins plus the rewards over the days entered. The APR is the yearly rate that produces that growth, restaked as often as yours were.

  • Growth = 1 + rewards ÷ coins staked, over days ÷ 365 years (t)
  • APR, restaked n times a year = n × ((1 + rewards ÷ coins)1 ÷ (n × t) − 1)
  • APR, not restaked = rewards ÷ coins ÷ t
  • APY = (1 + APR ÷ n)n − 1
  • Before commission = APR ÷ (1 − commission)
  • An APY as an APR = n × ((1 + APY)1 ÷ n − 1)

Frequently asked questions

Short answers on staking APR, APY and why the rate you get can differ from the one shown.

The rate your staking actually earned, from the rewards you received. Stake 100 coins, receive 1.2 coins of rewards in 60 days, restaked daily, and you earned a 7.26% APR, a 7.53% APY. With a 10% commission the network paid 8.06% before the validator’s cut. If you were promised an 8% APY, that is a 7.7% APR, so you earned 0.44 percentage points less.

APR is the yearly rate without compounding; APY includes the rewards earned on rewards when they are restaked. The same staking is a 7.26% APR or a 7.53% APY if restaked daily, so always compare like with like. Exchanges often show APY because it is the larger number. The Crypto Compound Interest Calculator shows how a rate grows a balance over time.

Several things take a share. The validator’s or exchange’s commission comes off the rewards. A validator that misses blocks or goes offline earns less. New stakes can wait days before they start earning, and unstaking stops rewards early. Networks lower their rates as more coins are staked, so an advertised rate can be out of date, and some platforms quote a promotional rate for a small amount or a fixed term. Measure over a month or more to smooth out daily swings.

Undo the compounding: APR = n × ((1 + APY)1/n − 1), where n is how often rewards are restaked in a year. An 8% APY restaked daily is a 7.7% APR; restaked monthly it is a 7.72% APR. Choose “APY” beside the advertised rate and this calculator converts it before comparing.

No. Staking pays in the coin, so the APR is a rate in coins: 7% more coins a year whatever they are worth. Enter the price to see the next 12 months’ rewards in rupees, but a fall in price can outweigh the rewards. The Staking Profit Calculator works out the profit on the whole trade, including the price.

Usually as income when you receive them, at your slab rate plus cess on their value in rupees that day, then at 30% plus cess on any rise in value when you sell them. Tax does not change the APR in coins, but it does change what you keep. The Staking Rewards Calculator works out the tax on your rewards.
