To calculate potential staking rewards on Cardano:
- Determine your total ADA stake amount.
- Find the current epoch's reward percentage (typically around 4.5% annually, but varies).
- Identify the stake pool's performance and fees.
- 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.
- Subtract the pool's fixed fee.
- Remember that actual rewards may vary due to factors like pool performance and network parameters.
- Use online Cardano staking calculators for quick estimates.
- Monitor your actual rewards over time to gauge real-world performance.
