Estimates only — not financial advice.

How this is calculated

Rewards compound with the standard formula final = principal × (1 + APY/n)^(n × years), where n is your compounding frequency (choose "no compounding" for simple interest). Dollar values multiply coin amounts by the live ETH price; the optional price-change field revalues the final position, not the yield itself.

The pre-filled APY is an indicative native-staking rate (2.2–4% range, verified 2026-07-11) — actual rates float with network participation, and platforms take commissions. Sources and update cadence are on the methodology page.

Ethereum staking facts

Unbonding period
Exit queue, typically 1–10 days depending on validator queue length
Minimum stake
32 ETH solo; no minimum via pooled/liquid staking
Compounding
manual (rewards not auto-staked natively; liquid staking auto-compounds)
  • Solo staking requires running a validator with 32 ETH; most holders use pooled or liquid staking instead.
  • Rewards come from consensus issuance plus priority fees/MEV, so realized APY varies week to week.
  • Slashing is rare and mostly affects misconfigured validators, but delegators share that risk with their operator.

Frequently asked questions

Is staking taxed?
In most tier-1 jurisdictions, staking rewards are taxed as income at their market value when received, and again as capital gains when you later sell. Details differ by country — see how staking rewards are taxed and the tax calculator.
Can you lose money staking?
Yes, three ways: the coin's price can fall more than the yield earns; validators can be slashed or underperform; and during the exit queue, typically 1–10 days depending on validator queue length you can't sell into a crash. APY is a reward rate, not a guarantee of profit.
Why does my exchange quote a different ETH APY?
Exchanges take a commission (often 15–35% of rewards) and sometimes cap promotional tiers, so their net rates usually sit below native delegation rates. This page pre-fills a typical native rate — override the APY field with whatever your platform quotes.
What's the difference between nominal APY and effective APY?
Nominal is the quoted rate; effective includes compounding at your chosen frequency. Rewards that auto-compound daily or per-epoch produce a slightly higher effective yield than the same nominal rate paid once a year.
