Hi,

So from the documentation I read as a delegator I will receive 92% of my stake as a reward. IE:

I delegate 100 flow to a node. In a week I will receive 92 flow? or 4.6 flow at 5% reward weekly?

Thanks,  
AL

You receive 92% of the rewards for your staked tokens, which depend on many variables:

> **[Staking Rewards](https://docs.onflow.org/staking/rewards)**
>
> How the Flow protocol pays rewards to stakers

5% APY refers the the total number of FLOW minted as rewards, not the amount that stakers should expect to receive. It is also an annual number, not a weekly number

Hi Josh,

thanks for your response can you give an example as the documentation is kind of confusing. as some places it says weekly and other says apy.

```auto
New Reward(user) = Tr * (Sn / St)  

```

so for the next epoch just making some made up numbers for some round numbers.

1.2M FLOW \* ( 100(mystake)/1M(totalstaked)) = 120\* .92 = 110.4 flow in a week.

is this the correct calculation?

or can you provide some clarity?

Yes your example with the made-up numbers is correct, although you might want to reduce it by 8% for the node operator fee.

Currently the total amount staked is 1,251,843,645 FLOW

I’ll give you a specific example, a couple epochs ago. After staking 50.0094 FLOW for one week, the staking reward was 0.0924 FLOW, which is around 0.185% per week of the staked amount.
