What Is the Difference Between Accrued Rewards and Disbursed Rewards?
Accrued Rewards is the running total of staking rewards earned since the last distribution but not yet paid out — it grows daily until the next Tuesday payout. Disbursed Rewards is the cumulative total of all rewards that have already been paid into your crypto wallet across past distributions. Both figures are visible in your Pluang staking dashboard.
| Term | What it means | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Accrued Rewards | Earned since last distribution; not yet paid | Resets to zero after each Tuesday distribution |
| Disbursed Rewards | Total paid out in all past distributions | Already in your available crypto wallet balance |
How to read the staking dashboard:
- Accrued Rewards = what you've earned this cycle (since the last Tuesday payout). This will be paid on the next Tuesday.
- Disbursed Rewards = your lifetime staking income — the total you have received since you started staking this coin.
Related questions:
Q: Does the Accrued Rewards figure include tax deductions?
The figure shown is the net amount (after TDS 5% + VAT 0.11% deduction). The gross is calculated first, tax is deducted, and the net accumulates.
Q: What happens to Accrued Rewards if I unstake before Tuesday?
Rewards accrued up to the day of your unstaking request are preserved and paid out on the next Tuesday. You do not lose accrued rewards by unstaking.
Q: Is Disbursed Rewards the same as total lifetime earnings?
Yes. Disbursed Rewards is the cumulative total of all staking rewards you have ever received from Pluang for that coin.
