Staking calculator
Project staking rewards for any amount, rate and duration, preloaded with current rates for the major proof-of-stake networks, with or without compounding.
The projection is in tokens. On chains that pay with newly issued supply, part of what you earn only keeps your share of the network from shrinking, so a higher rate is not always worth more. The real yield column shows each rate after its own inflation.
Projection at a constant rate for illustration only. Real staking rates change continuously, token prices move independently of yield, and past rates never guarantee future ones. Not financial advice: do your own research.

How to read the projection
The calculator applies one rate over the whole period. Real staking works differently on three fronts, and all three usually push the result down: rates decline on many networks by design (Ethereum's rate falls as more ETH stakes, Solana and Celestia are on decreasing emission schedules),commissions and fees come out of the headline number, and token pricemoves independently of everything above: a yield denominated in a falling asset can be a net loss in dollar terms. The projection is also in tokens, not in share of the network: on an inflating chain part of what you earn only offsets dilution, which is what the real yield column in the comparison table isolates.
The exception to the first point is fee-funded yield, which follows usage rather than a schedule: it can fall, but it can also rise. That is the model behind THORChain bonding, where rewards come mostly from swap fees, and the live network rate is always visible on the RUNEBond app. For long-horizon RUNE projections we published a worked example in the RUNE bonding calculator guide.
Frequently asked questions
How are staking rewards calculated?
Multiply your stake by the annual reward rate for a simple projection, or compound it if you restake the rewards: with weekly compounding, 1,000 tokens at 10% APR become about 1,105 after a year instead of 1,100. This calculator supports both modes and lets you override the rate.
What APY should I use in a staking calculator?
Start from the network rate the calculator preloads (fetched or reviewed per chain, with the source named on each chain page), and stress-test lower values. Staking rates decline on many chains by design, so projecting years ahead at today’s rate is the optimistic case, not the base case.
Why is the reward rate alone not enough to compare chains?
Because most chains pay rewards with newly created supply. If a chain pays 15% a year while the supply grows 10%, your share of the network grows by about 5%, not 15%. A lower rate funded by protocol fees can leave you with more of the network than a higher rate funded by new supply, which is why this calculator asks for inflation as well as the rate, and why the comparison table shows both plus the resulting real yield.
Does compounding matter for staking?
It matters more the higher the rate and the longer the horizon. At 3% APR the difference over a year is negligible; at 20% over three years, compounding adds roughly a third to total earnings. Some chains compound automatically; on others restaking is a manual transaction with fees.
Are these projections guaranteed?
No. Reward rates move constantly with network conditions, token prices move independently of yield, and some chains carry slashing risk on principal. Treat any projection as an illustration of arithmetic, not a promise of income. Not financial advice: do your own research.
