How to use Token Vesting Calculator
Enter total allocation, cliff, and linear vesting length. Read unlocked amounts at key dates along the schedule.
Example: 1,000,000 tokens, 12-month cliff, 36-month vest
An allocation of 1,000,000 tokens has a 12-month cliff followed by 36 months of linear unlock. It is month 18.
- Before month 12: nothing unlocks (the cliff)
- Unlocked = 1,000,000 × (18 − 12) ÷ 36 = 166,666.67 tokens
- Still locked = 1,000,000 − 166,666.67 = 833,333.33
At month 18, 16.67% (166,666.67 tokens) is unlocked. Everything is unlocked at month 48.
Formula & methodology
Cliff unlock + linear remainder over vesting months/years as configured in the UI.
Map token vesting before unlock headlines
Vesting calendars turn whitepaper prose into a timeline of transferable tokens. That helps you ask better dilution questions.
Unlock ≠ automatic dump. Still, large cliffs deserve FDV and dilution checks beside the schedule.
Prefer on-chain vesting truth when numbers are large.
