# 5.1.8. Staking Rewards
The staking rewards are higher at the beginning, which incentivizes a lot of people to stake. This in turn guarantees a strong decentralized network with fast transaction speeds.
In the first month, the staking rewards are 5%. Essentially, if you stake 10,000 coins, you will get 500 as reward after one month of leaving the Future Gold wallet online with staking enabled. However, it is important to note that the rewards are based on the group of coins that won the lottery as opposed to the total number of coins staked. The normal rewards are around 0.01 to 8 coins for every block staked. This is calculated using the following formula:
Staking Rewards = (number of coins in the group) \* (number of days old / 365) \* 0.07 Example: 1,000 coins are in a coin group that has been staked for five days. The reward will be 1,000 \* (5 / 365) \* 0.05 = 0.959 coins.
In the following months, the staking rewards will be decreased to moderate inflation.
After one year the staking rewards are set to 0.8% interest per month for the duration of one year. After that it is permanently fixed to 7% interest per year. This will accelerate the decentralization of the blockchain
