Calculate supply after a token burn
A token burn permanently removes tokens from circulation, usually by sending them to an address no one controls. This reduces the total supply, which, all else being equal, increases the scarcity of the remaining tokens. This calculator shows the new supply after a burn and the percentage of the supply that was removed, from the current supply and the amount burned. Burning fifty million from a billion-token supply, for example, reduces the supply by five percent.
Because a burn is irreversible, the removed tokens can never return to circulation.
Why projects burn tokens
Token burns are used as a deflationary mechanism to manage supply and potentially support the token value. Some projects run scheduled burns, others burn a portion of transaction fees automatically, and some execute one-off buyback-and-burn events. A burn does not guarantee a price increase, since value depends on demand as well as supply, but it does permanently change the supply side of the equation.
Compare the percentage reduction against the token total supply to judge a burn significance. All calculation happens locally in your browser.
Notes on these estimates
Because the token burn calculator runs entirely in your browser, you can adjust every input and see the results update instantly, with nothing uploaded and no wallet connection required. The figures are estimates based on the values you enter, so use current, accurate numbers for the most useful output, and treat the results as a planning guide rather than financial advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a token burn?
It is the permanent removal of tokens from circulation, usually by sending them to an address from which they can never be recovered.
How does a burn affect supply?
It reduces the total supply by the amount burned, increasing the scarcity of the remaining tokens, which the calculator quantifies.
Does burning tokens raise the price?
Not necessarily. A burn reduces supply, but price depends on demand too, so the effect on value is not guaranteed.
Can burned tokens come back?
No. Burns are irreversible, so the removed tokens are permanently gone from the circulating and total supply.
