Reward projection
Monthly balance growth from staking rewardsEducational estimate only. This does not include validator commissions, slashing, unbonding periods, exchange spreads, taxes, inflation, or token price movement after the current live price.
Plan staking rewards before locking tokens.
This staking rewards calculator helps you compare estimated income from popular proof-of-stake assets using live coin prices, editable APY assumptions, and different compounding styles. It is built for planning, not for predicting the market. The most useful way to use it is to test several scenarios before choosing where and how long to stake.
Staking rewards can look attractive, but the real result depends on token price movement, validator commission, unbonding periods, lockups, slashing rules, exchange spreads, and taxes. A token with a high APY can still lose money if the coin price falls more than the reward earned.
Switch between Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Cardano, Cosmos, BNB, Polygon, Avalanche, NEAR, and Celestia to compare reward estimates using the same duration and amount settings.
Choose simple, monthly, quarterly, or yearly compounding to see how restaking rewards can change the final balance over longer periods.
Edit the APY and price fields when your exchange, validator, or wallet shows different rates than the default estimate.
How to use the staking calculator
Select the coin you want to model. The calculator attempts to refresh live market prices automatically, then lets you edit the price if needed.
Enter how many tokens you plan to stake. If you only know your budget in dollars, use the live price to estimate the token amount first.
Change the staking duration, APY, and compounding style to compare conservative and optimistic outcomes side by side.
Staking FAQs
Does this calculator use live prices?
Yes. The page attempts to load live prices from Binance first, then falls back to CoinGecko if needed. If both APIs are unavailable, the calculator still works with editable prices.
Is staking APY guaranteed?
No. Staking APY changes as network participation, validator fees, inflation schedules, and provider policies change. Always verify the rate inside your wallet, exchange, or staking provider before committing funds.
Why can staking still lose money?
Rewards are paid in tokens. If the token price drops more than the value of your rewards, the dollar value of your position may fall even while your token balance increases.
Does this include taxes?
No. The calculator shows educational reward estimates only. Staking rewards may create taxable events depending on your country, so keep records and review official tax guidance.
What is an unbonding period?
Some networks require you to wait before withdrawing staked tokens. During that period you may be unable to sell quickly if the market changes.
Should beginners stake on an exchange or self-custody wallet?
Exchange staking may be easier, while self-custody gives more control. Compare withdrawal rules, validator choice, fees, supported networks, and seed phrase responsibility before choosing.
Estimate rewards, then check the risks
Staking decisions also involve custody, performance, allocation, and safety.
