Enter the amount you stake, the yield and the time to see your future balance and the rewards earned.
When you stake a coin, you lock it up to help run a network and earn rewards in return, paid in the same coin. If you let the rewards stay staked, they earn rewards too, and the balance grows faster each period. This is compounding. The longer you stake, the bigger the effect, so a 5% yearly yield for 10 years gives more than 50% in total.
APR is the yearly rate before compounding. APY is the rate you actually earn in a year once compounding is counted, so it is always a little higher than the APR for the same payments. Enter the figure your platform shows and pick the type. For an APR, choose how often rewards are added. Daily compounding of a 5% APR gives an APY of about 5.13%.
You can add a number of coins every month, and the calculator adds each deposit at the end of the month and lets it earn from then on. If you enter a coin price, the result is also shown in dollars. The calculator assumes a constant yield and a constant price. Real yields change, can drop after you stake, and the coin price can swing much more than the staking reward, so the dollar value is an illustration, not a forecast.
Multiply the staked amount by the growth factor for the time. With compounding, the factor is one plus the yearly yield, raised to the number of years.
APR is the simple yearly rate. APY includes the effect of compounding, so it is higher when rewards are added more than once a year.
No. Yields change with the network, and a few networks can cut your stake if a validator misbehaves.
Yes. Each addition is staked from the end of the month it is added, and earns from then on.
The coin price can move far more than the staking yield, so the dollar value depends mostly on the price you enter.
