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 SOL price; the optional price-change field revalues the final position, not the yield itself.

The pre-filled APY is an indicative native-staking rate (5.5–7.5% range, verified 2026-07-11) — actual rates float with network participation, and platforms take commissions. Sources and update cadence are on the methodology page.

Solana staking facts

Unbonding period
End of epoch, roughly 2–3 days
Minimum stake
No practical minimum (rent-exempt ~0.003 SOL)
Compounding
auto (rewards restaked every epoch)
  • Native delegation auto-compounds each epoch (~2–3 days), so quoted APYs are usually effective rates.
  • A large share of Solana's staking yield is inflationary issuance; net real yield is lower than headline APY.
  • Delegated stake stays in your wallet — validators can't spend it, but a validator with downtime earns you less.

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 end of epoch, roughly 2–3 days you can't sell into a crash. APY is a reward rate, not a guarantee of profit.
Why does my exchange quote a different SOL 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.
