Yield Farming APR Calculator
Yield farming pays rewards for supplying liquidity or staking LP tokens in a protocol. To compare opportunities you need an annualised rate. This calculator turns the reward value you earned over a known period into an APR and a compounded APY, plus the period return. Every figure is yours: nothing is fetched from a chain or assumed, so the result reflects exactly what you measured.
Yield farming APR formula
Period return = reward / deposit
APR = period return * (365 / days)
Daily rate = period return / days
APY = (1 + APR / n)^n - 1, n = compounding events per year
All rates are shown as percentages. APR is a simple linear annualisation; APY adds the effect of recompounding rewards n times per year.
Worked example
Deposit 10,000, reward 250 earned over 30 days, n = 12. Period return = 250 / 10,000 = 2.50%. APR = 0.025 * (365 / 30) = 0.30417, or 30.42%. Daily rate = 0.025 / 30 = 0.0833%. APY = (1 + 0.30417 / 12)^12 - 1 = 0.35027, or 35.03%.
Yield farming APR: frequently asked questions
How is yield farming APR calculated?
APR is the reward value over your holding period, scaled to a full year and divided by the deposit. APR = (reward / deposit) * (365 / days) * 100. It is a simple, non-compounded annualised rate based on the rewards you actually entered.
What is the difference between APR and APY here?
APR is the simple annualised rate. APY assumes you periodically harvest and recompound the rewards. APY = (1 + APR / n)^n - 1, where n is the number of compounding events per year. Frequent auto-compounding pushes APY above APR.
Does APR include impermanent loss or gas?
No. This calculator annualises the reward figure you supply against your deposit. Impermanent loss, transaction (gas) costs, token price moves and protocol fees are not included. For a true net return, deduct those separately and use the net reward value as your input.
