What is a good ROI for Ethereum staking?

Staking ROI typically tracks network APR of 2.5–4.5%. This is modest compared to historical ETH price returns but provides steady ETH accumulation.

Does this calculator include ETH price gains?

No. It models staking rewards only. ETH price appreciation or depreciation is separate and often larger than staking yield.

How does compounding affect 10-year ROI?

At 3.2% APR on 100 ETH over 10 years, compounding yields ~37.5 ETH vs 32 ETH without. The gap widens over longer periods.

What are bear and bull scenarios?

Illustrative presets adjusting APR and price ±30%. These are planning tools, not predictions. Actual markets are more volatile.

Is staking ROI guaranteed?

No. APR varies with network conditions. Slashing, smart contract exploits, and depegs can reduce actual returns below projections.

Are staking yield estimates guaranteed?

No. Staking yield estimates are not guaranteed. APR changes with network participation, validator performance, MEV, and protocol fees. Use current rates as a planning guide and verify before making financial decisions.

Does this calculator include taxes?

No. These calculators show gross yield before taxes, gas fees, and platform costs. Tax treatment of staking rewards varies by country. Consult a qualified tax professional for guidance specific to your situation.

What APR should I use for planning?

For liquid staking, many users reference current Lido stETH or Rocket Pool rETH net APY. Solo validators may see slightly different returns. Always verify the current rate on the protocol's official dashboard before planning.

Is the principal at risk when staking?

Yes. Staking carries risks including smart contract vulnerabilities, slashing (for validators), token depegs for liquid staking tokens, and ETH price volatility. Yield is only one part of total return.

How is this different from checking my actual wallet?

Calculators use hypothetical inputs. Yield by Dexkit analyzes your real on-chain positions across protocols like Lido, Aave, and Morpho to show what your wallet actually earns today.

Ethereum Staking ROI Calculator

Ethereum staking ROI measures total return from accumulated rewards relative to your initial investment. For 32 ETH at 3.2% APR over 5 years without compounding, you earn about 5.12 ETH in rewards — a ~16% ROI on principal (excluding ETH price changes). With compounding, returns are slightly higher. This calculator shows break-even timing, year-by-year breakdown, and ROI percentage at any horizon.
