Crypto Staking Calculator
With crypto staking you lock up coins to support the network and receive a reward in return, usually expressed as APY (annual yield). Because many platforms credit the reward daily and immediately restake it, your holding grows with compound interest.

How this was calculated

- 2Compounded over the periodยฃ1,000.00 ร (1 + r)^365 = ยฃ1,051.27
Formula
Final value = principal ร (1 + APY รท 365 รท 100)^days
The annual APY is converted to a daily rate by dividing by 365. Each day your holding grows by that rate, and because the previous dayโs reward grows along with it, this produces compound growth โ hence the exponent with the number of days.
Worked examples
โฌ 1,000 staked at 5% APY for a full year
โ Reward โ โฌ 51.27 due to daily compounding (slightly more than a flat 5%).
Common mistakes
- Treating the APY as a flat percentage without accounting for compounding.
Important to know
- APY percentages from staking platforms are variable and not guaranteed; this is a calculation example, not investment advice.
When to use it
- Estimating in advance what a staking position will yield.
Frequently asked questions
Is APY the same as APR?
No. APR is the return without compounding; APY does account for it and is therefore usually slightly higher.
