Staking yield calculator

Project staking rewards with or without compounding, and see what the yield is worth once the coin price moves.

Yield is paid in the asset. A positive return in coin terms can still be a loss in purchasing power, so the second row matters more than the first.

What is not modelled

Slashing, exit queues, operator fees, smart-contract risk on liquid staking, and tax. Set both price fields equal to see the pure yield; set the end price lower to see how quickly a falling asset erases it.

The yield is paid in the asset

This is the point the tool exists to make. A five per cent annual return on a coin that falls thirty per cent is not a five per cent return in any sense that affects your purchasing power. Set the two price fields to different values and the last row shows what actually happened.

Setting them equal gives you the pure yield, which is the number most calculators show and the least useful one.

Compounding

Whether rewards compound depends on the arrangement. Some protocols and providers restake automatically; others accrue rewards you must claim and restake yourself, which costs a transaction each time. Choose “none” if you are not restaking.

What is not modelled

Slashing, exit queues, operator fees, smart-contract risk on liquid staking derivatives, and tax. Ethereum staking explained covers each of those and which route carries which.
