# Voting Power Calculator

Estimate Voting Power from locked mpDAO and your chosen unbonding period.

Use this calculator to estimate Voting Power from the amount of mpDAO you lock and the unbonding period you choose.

### Calculator

Go to [Vote ](https://www.metapool.app/vote/)section to use the Voting Power Calculator.\
It lets you <mark style="color:blue;">**simulate Voting Power acquisition**</mark>, even without connecting a wallet.

Estimated calculations of Rewards to obtain by locking your mpDAOs for the chosen unbonding time.

Estimated rewards that you will get by participating in the gobernance in a year (Annual) or in a month (Monthly).

{% hint style="info" %}
Rewards are estimated in mpDAO / USD, but can be awarded in other tokens, such as stNEAR / mpDAO (locked and unlocked).

Unlocking mpDAO tokens takes time, and the length of that waiting time is called "The Unbonding Period"\
Choosing a longer unbonding period shows stronger commitment to the DAO. The more committed you are (by waiting longer), the more voting power you have and the more rewards you can earn. It´s a trade-off, though, while you are waiting (unbonding), you can´t vote, so you´ll miss out on those voting rewards.

Choose wisely: quicker access with fewer rewards, or longer waiting period for bigger rewards and a stronger voice in the DAO.
