> Calculation = ((treasury / governance base balances)\*365)\*100 Sent balance to yGov = 70,000 USD Funds deposited on Governance = 121,500,000 USD ((70k / 121.5M)\* 365)\*100 = 21% APY I just claimed my rewards from governance after the last 70k USD transfer to governance, thinking UI was showing a wrong number but the smart contract should provide the correct number. received reward = 7 yCRV (+/- 4.8% APY) calculated reward = 31 yCRV (+/- 21% APY) Am I missing something on my calculations (such as timeweight of the stake, or something)? ---

Yes, you are missing something. > [@How is the staking reward calculated/distributed?](http://gov.yearn.fi/t/how-is-the-staking-reward-calculated-distributed/3631/2): > > I.e., it’s a bit more complicated. ---

How long have you been staking now? I’m by day 5 and I see this today APY: 5.9584%. It increases day by day, last time I saw it was like 4%. ---
