How to calculate potential staking rewards on Cardano?

To calculate potential staking rewards on Cardano:

  1. Determine your total ADA stake amount.
  2. Find the current epoch's reward percentage (typically around 4.5% annually, but varies).
  3. Identify the stake pool's performance and fees.
  4. Use the formula: (Your Stake×Annual Reward Rate×(1−Pool Margin))/73(\text{Your Stake} \times \text{Annual Reward Rate} \times (1 - \text{Pool Margin})) / 73(Your Stake×Annual Reward Rate×(1−Pool Margin))/73 for per-epoch rewards.
  5. Subtract the pool's fixed fee.
  6. Remember that actual rewards may vary due to factors like pool performance and network parameters.
  7. Use online Cardano staking calculators for quick estimates.
  8. Monitor your actual rewards over time to gauge real-world performance.
