Crypto profit, fee & risk calculators
Estimate mining profitability, staking rewards, APY vs APR, and DeFi farming returns. These simple calculators help you choose the best yield strategies without complicated spreadsheets.
Estimate daily, monthly, and yearly revenue and profit after electricity and operating costs.
Model yield farming returns, including pool fees and impermanent loss impact.
Convert APR to APY across compounding intervals and visualize real annual growth.
Estimate staking payouts, rewards schedule, and net return after protocol fees.
Staking and yield strategies let you earn passive crypto income, but each option has tradeoffs. Mining converts electricity and hardware into coins. Staking locks tokens to support a blockchain and earns reward shares. Yield farming and DeFi provide variable APRs but can include risks like impermanent loss or smart-contract bugs. Understanding the numbers — rewards, fees, compounding, and costs — is essential before committing capital.
Start by defining your priority: safety, steady income, or high return with higher risk. If safety is your priority, consider staking large-cap PoS tokens with reputable validators and longer lock-up but predictable rewards. If you chase higher returns, DeFi yield farming and liquidity provisioning can offer larger nominal APRs, but these strategies expose you to impermanent loss (when token prices diverge) and protocol risk.
Use calculators to compare apples to apples: the Crypto Mining Profit Calculator factors in hashrate, power consumption and electricity cost so you can see true profit. The Crypto APY Calculator converts APR into realistic yearly yield depending on compounding frequency. The Staking Rewards Calculator includes protocol commissions and unlock schedules so expected rewards match reality. The DeFi Yield Calculator demonstrates how pool fees, farming incentives, and price moves create net returns — and where impermanent loss may erode gains.
Practical tips: always include fees (platform + gas) and assume conservative APYs for planning. Test on small amounts first, run scenarios (best/median/worst), and consider the lock-up or unstaking delay — a long lock-up can prevent you from reacting to price moves. With the correct tools, you can make data-driven decisions and choose the yield setup that matches your risk appetite and time horizon.
Use the calculators here together — for example, estimate expected staking payouts, convert those payouts into APY, and compare to a DeFi farm after factoring slippage and fees. That workflow turns speculative hope into measurable outcomes.
Generally, yes — staking large-cap PoS tokens is often safer than DeFi yield farming. Staking rewards are paid by the network and usually follow predictable schedules, while yield farming depends on incentive programs, pool liquidity, and token price movements. Yield farming adds smart contract risk and impermanent loss risk: if the paired tokens change price a lot, your dollar value can fall even if yield looks high. That said, staking is not risk-free: slashing (penalties for validator misbehavior), validator fees, and lock-up periods can reduce returns or lock your funds when you need them. Always choose reliable validators and read protocol rules before staking.
APR (annual percentage rate) ignores compounding; APY (annual percentage yield) includes compounding effects. If a protocol advertises 20% APR but compounds rewards monthly or daily, your actual annual return (APY) will be higher because each reward cycle earns additional rewards. The Crypto APY Calculator here converts APR to APY using your chosen compounding frequency (daily, weekly, monthly) so you see the real yearly growth. This matters for comparing offers: two similar APRs can yield very different APYs depending on compounding.
Impermanent loss happens when you provide liquidity in a token pair and the relative prices diverge. Your share of the pool changes and can be worth less in USD terms compared to simply holding both tokens separately. The DeFi Yield Calculator helps you model expected rewards and estimate impermanent loss by simulating price moves. If expected farming rewards exceed the potential impermanent loss, the farm may still be attractive — otherwise it might be safer to hold or stake instead.
Mining profitability is extremely sensitive to electricity cost and hardware efficiency. A powerful ASIC with low power draw and access to cheap electricity can remain profitable even when coin prices dip; a less efficient rig or high electricity price often produces negative profit. Use the Crypto Mining Profit Calculator to plug in your rig hashrate, power consumption, and local electricity price — this gives a realistic daily, monthly, and yearly profit estimate so you can decide whether mining is worth it for you.
Auto-compounding accelerates growth because each earned reward participates in the next cycle of yield. However, compounding may incur gas fees and other costs, especially on Ethereum — these fees can offset small compounding gains. If fees are high, it may be better to compound less frequently or only when rewards exceed a cost threshold. The APY and DeFi calculators help simulate different compounding frequencies and show when auto-compounding is beneficial versus costly.
