Using the BNB Staking Calculator
This calculator estimates what staking BNB pays over a period you choose, in both coins and dollars. The reward rate is prefilled at 2% — typically low single digits — but treat that as a starting point, not a quote: staking rates move with participation and with validator commission, so put in the rate your own validator advertises.
How you stake BNB: Delegate BNB to a BNB Chain validator from a compatible wallet, or use the exchange's own earn products. Liquidity matters as much as the rate. Delegated BNB has an unbonding period of about a week before it becomes transferable again. A high advertised rate on a coin you cannot exit quickly is a different product from the same rate on a liquid position, and that difference shows up exactly when you need it — during a sharp drawdown.
Two things the dollar figure cannot tell you. First, rewards are usually taxable as income when you receive them in most jurisdictions, at the value on the day — see the tax guide for your country. Second, BNB carries exchange-specific risk on top of market risk: regulatory news about its issuer can move it independently of BTC. A 2% yield does not protect you from a price move several times that size, so judge staking on total return, not on the APR alone.
What 2% actually compounds to on BNB
- Reward rate
- 2% (typically low single digits)
- First year on 10 BNB
- 0.2 BNB
- Monthly-compounded 1y
- 0.2018 BNB
- Compounded 5y
- 1.05 BNB
At 2% (typically low single digits), staking 10 BNB pays about 0.2 BNB in the first year simple. Compounded monthly that becomes 0.2018 BNB, and left to compound for five years, 1.05 BNB — the gap widens the longer your BNB stays put, which is where the lockup matters: Delegated BNB has an unbonding period of about a week before it becomes transferable again.
Staking is native to BNB, so you are securing the protocol directly rather than trusting a wrapper. Rewards arrive in BNB, so their dollar value rides the price — a 2% yield is no defence against a price move several times that size, so judge the position on total return rather than the headline rate.
Figures are derived from BNB's own daily closes over the window shown and are bounded by it — not all-time values. Prices move; treat them as context, not a forecast.

Frequently asked questions
- How much can I earn staking BNB?
- At roughly 2% a year, staking 10 BNB earns about 0.2 BNB over twelve months before commission. Enter your own amount and rate above for the exact figure, in coins and at the live BNB price.
- Is my BNB locked while staking?
- Delegated BNB has an unbonding period of about a week before it becomes transferable again.
- Are BNB staking rewards taxed?
- In most countries staking rewards are income at the moment you can access them, valued in your local currency on that date, and then a second capital-gains event when you later sell. A few treat them differently — Germany, for instance, has its own allowance for staking income. Check our tax guide for your jurisdiction.
- How are staking rewards calculated?
- Rewards ≈ amount staked × annual reward rate × (days ÷ 365). This is a simple (non-compounded) estimate.
- APR vs APY for staking?
- APR is the flat annual rate. If you restake (compound) rewards, your effective APY is higher — see the APY calculator.
