Farm APR Calculator
Calculate yield farming returns and optimize DeFi strategies
Farm Parameters
Reward Settings
Tokens earned per selected time period
Additional Factors (Optional)
Quick APR
Annual Percentage Rate

Pro Tip
Compare APRs across multiple farms before committing capital. Higher isn't always better.
When to Use Farm APR Calculator
Farm Comparison
Check APRs on PancakeSwap vs SushiSwap vs Uniswap. Same LP pair might give 20% on one platform and 50% on another. Five minutes with this calculator can redirect your capital to farms paying 2-3x more.
Daily Income Planning
Want to earn $100 daily from farming? Input different investment amounts to see what you need. Maybe $50k at 80% APR gets you there, or $20k in a riskier 200% APR farm. Numbers don't lie.
Token Price Impact
Farm shows 500% APR but reward token keeps dumping? Change the token price in the calculator to see real returns. A 500% APR means nothing if the token loses 80% value while you're farming.
Fee Analysis
Some farms charge 4% deposit fees plus 2% harvest fees. Factor these in to see true APR. What looks like 100% APR might really be 85% after fees. Especially important for short-term farming strategies.
ROI Timeline
Calculate how long until you recover your initial investment. At 30% APR, you break even in 3.3 years. At 200% APR, just 6 months. Helps decide if farm duration matches your time horizon before emissions drop.
Portfolio Allocation
Split $100k across three farms? Calculate each one separately. Maybe put $60k in stable 25% APR, $30k in medium-risk 80% APR, and $10k in degen 300% APR. Optimize risk-adjusted returns across your entire DeFi portfolio.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Farm APR?
Farm APR is the Annual Percentage Rate showing how much you earn from yield farming over one year. It includes rewards from providing liquidity or staking LP tokens in DeFi protocols. Unlike APY, APR doesn't account for compounding, giving you the simple interest rate on your deposited assets.
How do I calculate farming APR?
Enter your staked amount, reward token price, and emission rate (rewards per day/week/year). The calculator divides annual rewards by your initial deposit to get APR. For example, if you stake $10,000 and earn $3,000 in rewards yearly, your APR is 30%.
What's the difference between APR and APY?
APR is simple interest without compounding. APY includes compound interest from reinvesting rewards. A 100% APR becomes 171% APY with daily compounding. Farms usually advertise APY because it looks higher, but APR shows your actual reward rate before reinvestment.
Why do farm APRs change constantly?
APR fluctuates based on total value locked in the farm and reward token price. More TVL means rewards split among more people, lowering APR. If reward tokens drop in price, APR decreases. Some farms also reduce emissions over time according to their tokenomics schedule.
Are high APR farms always better?
Not necessarily. Extremely high APRs often come with higher risks like impermanent loss, smart contract vulnerabilities, or reward token inflation. A 1000% APR farm might see its token price crash 90%, wiping out gains. Sustainable farms typically offer 10-50% APR with established tokens.
How often should I claim farm rewards?
It depends on gas costs versus reward value. On Ethereum, high gas fees make frequent claiming expensive. Wait until rewards exceed 5-10x the claim cost. On cheaper chains like BSC or Polygon, you can claim more often. Some farms auto-compound, eliminating this decision.
Can I calculate APR for multiple farms?
Yes, calculate each farm separately with its specific parameters. Different farms have different emission rates, TVL, and token prices. Use this tool to compare side-by-side and allocate capital to the most profitable opportunities after considering risk factors.
Does this account for impermanent loss?
No, this calculator focuses only on farming rewards APR. Impermanent loss is a separate risk from LP token price ratio changes. For LP farms, you should calculate IL separately and factor it into your total returns to get a complete picture of profitability.
