Question 1

What does this crypto staking calculator do?

Accepted Answer

It estimates staking rewards from a starting balance, an APR, and an optional compounding schedule so users can compare daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly outcomes.

Question 2

What is the difference between APR and APY here?

Accepted Answer

APR is the base annual reward rate. When rewards are restaked during the year, the effective return increases and behaves more like APY.

Question 3

Can this calculator be used for different proof-of-stake coins?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The math works for any proof-of-stake asset where the user knows the staked amount and annual reward rate, although token price movement, fees, and slashing are not modeled.
