04 / Scenario laboratoryTAO COMPOUND / INTELLIGENCE DESK
TAO compound calculator
Put your assumptions on the desk. Model stake, reinvestment and time, then test the balance against three TAO price scenarios. No promised returns.

Rewards earned+74.2% on stake
Effective annual growth18.5% nominal, compounded daily
Compounding daily instead of annually adds 7.769 τ over this horizon (7.8% of your original stake). That gap is a mathematical effect, not a reason by itself to keep capital exposed.
USD value under each TAO price scenario
Bear · $180/TAO$31K$31,351 · starting value $0 at base assumption
Base · $0/TAO—enter a price
Bull · $900/TAO$157K$156,753 · starting value $0 at base assumption
These scenarios price TAO, not subnet alpha tokens. If you delegate into a subnet, your realised outcome also moves with that subnet's alpha/TAO rate — which is the risk the yield is compensating you for.
Growth path
Modeled balance, not historical performance. Compound reinvestment against a simple-interest baseline.
- Compounded
- Simple interest
Assumptions, stated plainly
- Future value uses FV = P(1 + r/n)^(n·t) with r = nominal annual rate/100, n = compounds per year, t = years. An effective APY must be converted to a nominal rate before input to avoid compounding twice.
- The rate is held constant. Actual rewards change with emissions and stake; long horizons are scenarios, not forecasts.
- No validator downtime, no slashing, no unstaking fees or slippage on alpha conversion.
- Rewards are assumed restaked into the same position at the same rate.
- USD figures ignore taxes and assume the TAO price you enter.
