Yield farming APY calculator

Turn an advertised APR into the real APY once rewards are compounded, and see the final value and yield over your chosen period. Compounding frequency is the lever: the more often you harvest and re-stake, the wider APY opens above APR.

Enter Principal, Advertised APR (%), Compounds per year, Period (days) and the Yield farming APY calculator works out Real APY, Final value, Yield earned, Average per day straight away. For instance, with Principal = $5,000.00, Advertised APR (%) = 40, Compounds per year = 365 and Period (days) = 365 it returns Real APY = 49.15%, Final value = $7,457.49 and Yield earned = $2,457.49.

How to use it

  1. Enter your values: Principal, Advertised APR (%), Compounds per year, Period (days).
  2. Read the result instantly: Real APY, Final value, Yield earned, Average per day.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Yield farming APY calculator actually compute?

It takes Principal, Advertised APR (%), Compounds per year and Period (days) and derives Real APY, Final value, Yield earned and Average per day from them. The calculation is live as you type, so the result updates on every change.

What information do I need to provide?

4 values: Principal ($), Advertised APR (%), Compounds per year and Period (days). Nothing else is required — no account, no file upload.

Can you show a worked example?

With Principal = $5,000.00, Advertised APR (%) = 40, Compounds per year = 365 and Period (days) = 365, the calculator returns Real APY = 49.15%, Final value = $7,457.49 and Yield earned = $2,457.49. Those figures come from running this exact tool, so you can reproduce them by entering the same values.

What happens if I enter larger values?

It moves a lot. Using Principal = $10,000.00, Advertised APR (%) = 44, Compounds per year = 730 and Period (days) = 730 instead, Real APY goes from 49.15% to 55.25% — which is why it is worth testing a few scenarios rather than trusting a single figure.

What does it give for smaller values?

Scaled down to Principal = $2,500.00, Advertised APR (%) = 36, Compounds per year = 183 and Period (days) = 183, Real APY comes out at 43.28%. The relationship is worth checking at both ends before you rely on a single result.

When would I actually use this?

Comparing two investments that pay at different times, deciding whether a project clears its cost of capital, and sanity-checking a valuation someone else produced.

What is the most common mistake?

Trusting a valuation without asking what share of it comes from the terminal value. Past 70%, the answer is an assumption about the distant future dressed up as a calculation.

How accurate is it, and what are the limits?

Estimate only — not financial or tax advice. Exchange formulas vary.

What is the difference between the Yield farming APY calculator and the Dividend yield calculator?

This one returns Real APY and Final value; the Dividend yield calculator returns Dividend yield. That is the whole difference — open the one whose figure you need.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Capital Gains Yield Calculator is the closest one after this: Compute the capital gains yield from the purchase and current price, with dividend yield, total return and the annualised equivalent.
