Description

The Staking ROI Calculator is a downloadable spreadsheet that allows users to estimate and compare the return on investment (ROI) for various crypto staking options. This tool is built for investors who want to analyze different staking strategies offline and understand how variables like token price, APY, lock-up periods, and fees affect long-term gains. The spreadsheet comes preloaded with formulas and example data for major tokens such as ETH (via Lido), ADA, SOL, and DOT. Users can input their own stake amount, expected annual percentage yield (APY), projected price growth, compounding frequency, and validator commissions. The output displays expected rewards in both token and fiat terms, with graphs illustrating growth over time for different reinvestment plans. A side-by-side comparison section enables analysis of multiple projects at once, helping users identify which staking method offers the best balance of security, liquidity, and profitability. Color-coded cells highlight warning zones such as overinflated APYs, long lock-up risks, or validators with poor slashing history. A special section is included for Japan-based investors that incorporates yen conversion and allows for tax impact estimates using Japan’s progressive tax brackets. This feature is especially useful during annual planning or pre-tax season analysis. The calculator includes a notes panel for recording validator names, staking pool details, or key dates such as unlock windows and voting deadlines. Since it's fully offline, no wallet connection is required, making it a secure and private planning tool. Whether you’re a long-term staker, a validator explorer, or simply comparing DeFi vs native staking, this spreadsheet empowers you with clear data-driven insights. With the Staking ROI Calculator, you can plan confidently, allocate smarter, and better track your passive income potential.
