In this paper, we present a novel iterative Monte Carlo method for approximating the stationary probability of a single state of a positive recurrent Markov chain. We utilize the characterization that the stationary probability of a state $i$ is inversely proportional to the expected return time of a random walk beginning at $i$. Our method obtains an $ε$-multiplicative close estimate with probability greater than $1 - α$ using at most $\tilde{O}\left(t_{\text{mix}} \ln(1/α) / π_i ε^2 \right)$ simulated random walk steps on the Markov chain across all iterations, where $t_{\text{mix}}$ is the standard mixing time and $π_i$ is the stationary probability. In addition, the estimate at each iteration is guaranteed to be an upper bound with high probability, and is decreasing in expectation with the iteration count, allowing us to monitor the progress of the algorithm and design effective termination criteria. We propose a termination criteria which guarantees a $ε(1 + 4 \ln(2) t_{\text{mix}})$ multiplicative error performance for states with stationary probability larger than $Δ$, while providing an additive error for states with stationary probability less than $Δ\in (0,1)$. The algorithm along with this termination criteria uses at most $\tilde{O}\left(\frac{\ln(1/α)}{ε^2} \min\left(\frac{t_{\text{mix}}}{π_i}, \frac{1}{εΔ}\right)\right)$ simulated random walk steps, which is bounded by a constant with respect to the Markov Chain. We provide a tight analysis of our algorithm based on a locally weighted variant of the mixing time. Our results naturally extend for countably infinite state space Markov chains via Lyapunov function analysis.
