Crypto Staking Calculator

Staking means locking up your cryptocurrency to help secure a proof-of-stake blockchain. In return, you earn rewards — similar to earning interest on a savings account. Different tokens offer different APYs which can vary based on network conditions, validator performance, and total stake.

Compound vs simple staking: with simple staking, your rewards are calculated on your original deposit only. With compound staking, earned rewards are re-staked, so you earn rewards on top of rewards. Over long periods, compounding can make a significant difference.

UK tax note: HMRC treats staking rewards as miscellaneous income at the GBP value on the day received. Selling those rewards later is a separate CGT event. APY figures shown are approximate averages.
