Using the Token Unlock & Dilution Calculator
Enter your inputs above and compare the result with the worked example. Review the assumptions before applying it to a trade, portfolio or tax return.
Worked example
Use the example inputs below to reproduce this result. These are the form's starting values, not recommended targets. Changing your inputs updates your result above; this worked example stays fixed for comparison. Results are rounded for display.
Example inputs
- Currency (use for all money amounts)
- USD
- Current circulating supply
- 100000000
- New tokens entering circulation
- 20000000
- Current price per token
- 2
- Assumed circulating market cap change (%)
- 0
Example result
- New circulating supply
- 120,000,000
- Supply expansion (%)
- 20
- Relative share dilution (%)
- 16.666667
- Implied token price (USD)
- 1.6666667
- Implied price change (%)
- -16.666667
Method and assumptions
New supply = circulating supply + newly circulating tokens. Divide assumed post-unlock circulating market cap by new supply to get implied price. Dilution measures the reduction in a fixed holding’s share of circulation. An unlock may be priced in and may not translate into sales.
How to interpret crypto estimates
Use prices and costs in the same currency. Market observations are venue-specific. Hypothetical returns are scenarios, and historical observations do not predict future prices. These tools provide educational estimates and do not constitute investment or tax advice.
Common question
Will the price fall by the amount shown?
The price follows from the market cap assumption you entered. Trading demand and when tokens actually circulate can produce a different result.
