I’ll be setting up a few new validators and am curious how to estimate the rewards. I know that rewards are paid out at epoch+1 at the beginning of the new epoch and that inflation / rates change based on the network each epoch, but want to use or build a calculator for this.
Inputs that would be nice:
- total delegated stake
- commission percentage
Outputs:
- validator total rewards received
- how much is paid to the validator (based on the commission)
- how much is paid to the delegators
Things I’m not currently worried about:
- the cost for SREs to care & feed it
- the cost of the hardware / network bandwidth
I recall at one point u/ZantetsuLastBlade2 had a calculator somewhere for this. I was curious if this is a thing that still exists and if not want to write one.
Hey u/SEJeff,
We developed a Validator Profit Calculator :)

This was precisely the one I was looking for, thanks so much!
I ran the Jump Crypto for a few years, but haven’t setup a new one from scratch in some time. Thanks! You guys rock!
Oh hey Jeff
