Crypto Staking ROI Calculator

Estimate staking rewards, tax drag, ending position value, and net ROI for Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon under price-change and risk-haircut assumptions.

Last updated: 2026-03-25

Crypto staking ROI calculator

Enter your values

Model staking rewards, taxes, price movement, and optional risk haircuts in one after-tax crypto return view.

Edit this if your validator, liquid-staking option, or chain reward rate differs.

Use 0 for pure staking. Use a non-zero haircut when you want to model LP-style risk alongside the staking return.

All required fields must be filled in.

Example calculations

Tap an example to prefill the calculator with sample values.

Ethereum liquid staking

$15k position with 4.2% APY and monthly compounding

A straightforward ETH staking case where price appreciation matters more than the reward rate itself.

Result: Most upside comes from token price movement, while taxes and risk haircuts reduce the headline staking yield

Higher-yield SOL staking

$12k position with a stronger APY and no IL haircut

Useful when you want to isolate staking economics from a pure validator setup without LP-style risk.

Result: The yield contribution is more material, but tax drag still matters when the staking horizon is long

How the staking ROI model works

The calculator converts the starting dollar position into token units, compounds staking rewards over the selected time horizon, then revalues the ending token balance using your price-change assumption.

It subtracts estimated tax on rewards and any optional risk haircut so the final output is a net ROI estimate rather than a headline APY number alone.

Crypto staking FAQs

How rewards, taxes, price movement, and optional risk haircuts shape a staking return estimate.

Why include a risk haircut if staking is not the same as impermanent loss?

Because some users want a rough way to haircut staking returns when they are combining staking with LP-style risk, slashing risk, or other execution risk. Set the haircut to zero if you want a pure staking-only model.

Are rewards taxed at the end or when received?

Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction. This model treats the gross reward value as taxable income at the entered rate so you can stress-test after-tax ROI with a simple planning assumption.
