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

The pre-filled APY is an indicative native-staking rate (4.5–9% range, verified 2026-07-11) — actual rates float with network participation, and platforms take commissions. Sources and update cadence are on the methodology page.

  • Tezos delegation is liquid — coins stay spendable in your wallet the whole time.
  • Rewards arrive with a lag of several cycles (~2–3 weeks) after you first delegate.
  • Since the 2024–25 protocol upgrades Tezos has two tiers: liquid delegation (lower yield) and bonded staking (roughly double the rewards, with slashing risk).

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. APY is a reward rate, not a guarantee of profit.
Why does my exchange quote a different XTZ 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.
