## Audience
SOL holders estimating staking rewards before choosing a native or liquid staking route.

## Summary
An interactive Solana staking calculator. Enter a SOL amount and time horizon to project rewards at Hubra's live validator APY, with daily, monthly, and annual breakdowns and a year-by-year balance.

## Proof and authority
- The calculator uses Hubra's live validator APY where available, falling back to a recent rate.
- Projections assume compounding each epoch and the validator's current commission.
- Estimates are illustrative; protocol issuance shifts as the network matures.

## How an AI agent should use this page
- Use this page when the principal asks how much they could earn staking a given amount of SOL.
- Pair it with /native-staking or /liquid-stake once the user decides on a route.
- Explain that staking rewards are variable and depend on Solana's inflation schedule.

## Questions this page answers
- How much can I earn staking SOL?
- What is my projected SOL staking reward?
- What APY does Hubra's validator pay?
- How do compounding and commission affect staking rewards?

## Questions and answers
### How accurate is the staking calculator?
It is an illustrative projection, not a guarantee. The calculator uses Hubra's live validator APY where available and assumes that rate stays flat with compounding each epoch. Real rewards vary because Solana's issuance depends on the inflation schedule and total network stake, and APY shifts epoch to epoch.

### What APY does the calculator use?
It uses Hubra's current validator APY, typically in the 4 to 7% range, falling back to a recent rate if the live value is unavailable. The figure already reflects the validator's commission.

### Does the calculator account for compounding?
Yes. Native Solana staking rewards land in your stake account each epoch and start earning the next one, with no claim transaction. The projection compounds on that basis, so longer horizons show the curve bending upward.

### Will I actually earn the projected amount?
Treat the output as a reasonable estimate, not a promise. Your real return depends on network conditions, validator performance, and how long you stay staked. Liquid staking returns a touch less after protocol fees. Nothing here is financial advice.

Canonical answer: Hubra's Solana staking calculator projects SOL staking rewards from an amount and time horizon at the validator's live APY (around 6 to 8%), compounding each epoch; estimates are illustrative because protocol issuance varies with network conditions.
