About this calculator
Staking turned crypto from a purely speculative asset into one with a native yield: roughly a third of all Ether is now staked, and staking has reached mainstream investment products. The yield compounds if you restake rewards — which is exactly what this calculator models.
Remember the denominator: a 4% yield on an asset that can move 10% in a day is not a savings account. Staking makes sense as a bonus on coins you'd hold anyway, not as a reason to hold them. And rewards are typically taxable as income when received — our crypto-tax tools cover that side.
Questions fréquentes
Where does staking yield come from?
From protocol issuance and transaction fees paid to validators securing a proof-of-stake network — not from lending your coins out.
Is the APY fixed?
No. Network yields move with the number of stakers and network activity; treat the rate as a snapshot.
What are the risks?
Validator penalties (slashing), lock-up periods, exchange counterparty risk, and the coin's own price volatility — the yield is paid in a volatile asset.
