APY already includes compounding, while APR does not. This calculator lets you switch between simple and compounded accrual so the two are not confused — a 5% APR compounded daily is not the same number as 5% APY.

The effective yield shown annualises whatever the duration produces, which is useful for short windows where a headline APY does not fully apply.

Published yields float with validator performance, protocol emissions and fees, and the principal itself can fall in value. Yield on a volatile asset is not comparable to yield on cash.
