Formula used
Gross reward per period = Current staked balance × APR × Years per period
Validator fee = Gross reward × Validator fee rate
Taxable reward = Gross reward − Validator fee
Tax amount = Taxable reward × Tax rate
Net reward = Taxable reward − Tax amount
Reinvested reward = Net reward × Reinvestment rate
Ending balance = Previous balance + Reinvested reward + Periodic deposits
Withdrawable tokens = (Ending balance − Slashing loss) − Exit fee
Projected token price = Current price × (1 + Annual price change)Years
Projected portfolio value = Withdrawable tokens × Projected token price

FAQs
1) What does APR mean here?
APR is the nominal annual staking rate before compounding. This calculator converts it into periodic rewards, then adjusts for fees, taxes, reinvestment behavior, and any extra deposits you add.
2) Why can APY differ from APR?
APY reflects the effect of compounding. When rewards are reinvested more often, the balance grows faster than a simple APR assumption. Fees, taxes, and partial reinvestment can reduce that benefit.
3) Should I set reinvestment to 100%?
Use 100% if your plan is full auto-compounding. Use a lower number when you intend to withdraw part of the rewards for income, rebalancing, or taxes instead of adding them back.
4) What does validator fee change?
Validator fee reduces gross rewards before you receive them. Even a small fee can noticeably lower long-term growth because it shrinks both the reward today and the amount available to compound later.
5) Can I enter a negative annual price change?
Yes. A negative price assumption helps stress-test bearish conditions. Your token balance may still grow while your projected fiat value falls, which is useful for comparing token and value risk separately.
6) How are taxes handled?
Taxes are applied to rewards after validator fees in this model. Actual tax rules vary by country and event timing, so use your local guidance when turning projections into real reporting decisions.
7) What does slashing loss represent?
Slashing loss is a scenario-based haircut to the ending balance. It lets you model operational or protocol risk without changing the underlying reward mechanics used during the staking period.
8) Is the projected profit guaranteed?
No. This is a planning model, not a promise. Real outcomes depend on reward policy changes, downtime, token price volatility, fees, taxes, lockups, and market conditions at withdrawal time.
