Token burn calculator

See how a crypto token's supply changes when coins are burned and new ones are created: the supply at the end, the net change, and what share of the supply your holding would be. Free, no sign-up, nothing leaves your browser.

Why projects burn tokens

A token burn is when crypto coins or tokens are permanently removed from circulation, by sending them to a burn address nobody can spend from. Projects do it to reduce the total supply over time, to show commitment, or as part of how the network works: since the London upgrade in August 2021, Ethereum burns the base fee part of every transaction fee, which offsets some of the new ETH created as rewards.

Does a burn raise the price?

Not necessarily. A smaller supply only helps the price if demand holds up. Some burns are small compared with total supply, and some projects announce burns mainly for publicity. Look at how much is burned, how often, and why.
