How to Calculate Crypto Tokenomics Step-by-Step

  1. 1Enter total supply and circulating amount at token generation event (TGE).
  2. 2Set the allocation that vests (team, investors, advisors).
  3. 3Configure cliff months and linear vesting duration.
  4. 4Add monthly emissions if the protocol mints or releases rewards.
  5. 5Choose a projection horizon and review circulating vs locked supply.

Governing formula

Circulating ≈ TGE + vested(t) + emissions × months (capped at total supply)

Projects unlocked float with cliff, linear vesting, and emissions.

Example: set Total / Max Supply = 1,000,000,000, Circulating at TGE = 100,000,000, Team/Investor Vesting Allocation = 300,000,000, then read the result.

Variable definitions

  • TGE

    TGE circulating

    Float at launch.

  • cliff

    Cliff months

    Delay before vesting starts.

  • vest

    Vesting months

    Linear unlock duration after cliff.

  • E

    Monthly emissions

    Ongoing release or mint rate.

  • Simplified schedule model—real unlock charts can be multi-tranche.
  • Not financial advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

A cliff is a waiting period before any of the vested allocation unlocks. After the cliff, linear vesting typically begins.

Very usable on mobile. Would love a save/export option later, but the math feels solid.

Simple inputs, clear outputs. This replaced three bookmarks I used to juggle.
