Cardano Staking Calculator — Project Your ADA Rewards
Work out what your ADA could earn over time. Defaults to ADAOZ's lifetime average ROA (pulled live from Koios). Enter your stake, drag the slider for time horizon, and optionally compare against another pool by ticker or pool ID.
APR is the pool's lifetime average ROA from Koios. Compounding is per-epoch (5 days, 73 per year — Cardano rewards auto-compound on-chain). Weekly DCA contributions are spread evenly across epochs. Doesn't include the one-off 2 ₳ stake-key registration deposit or ~0.2 ₳ delegation fee.
How to use this calculator
- Your ADA — enter the amount you plan to stake. Defaults to 10,000 ₳ as a worked example.
- Time horizon — drag the slider from 1 month up to 10 years.
- Compare another pool — paste a
pool1…bech32 pool ID, or just type a ticker (e.g.IOG1,NORTH). The Worker queries Koios and pulls that pool's lifetime ROA so you can see ADAOZ side-by-side.
The calculator uses each pool's lifetime average ROA as its annual yield, then compounds per-epoch (73 epochs/year, ~5 days each). It's a realistic projection: Cardano staking rewards auto-compound on-chain, so what you see is what you'd see in your wallet.
What's not factored in
- Pool fees. The ROA figures already net out the pool operator's margin and fixed fee per epoch, so you don't double-count. Read more in understanding stake pool fees.
- ADA price movement. This is a pure ADA-denominated projection — your USD/AUD value depends on the ADA price at the time.
- Network changes. Cardano protocol parameters (k, d, treasury take) can change via governance and affect ROA going forward.
Disclaimer
This is a guide, not a guarantee. A pool's "luck" and uptime each epoch affect block production, and historical performance doesn't promise future returns. If your pool starts missing blocks or its operator goes dark, re-delegate — there's no cost beyond a single transaction fee.
Want to delegate to ADAOZ?
Connect your wallet and delegate on-chain in two clicks. First-time delegators pay a one-off 2 ₳ stake-key registration deposit, refunded if you ever de-register.
