Calculate token inflation rate
A token inflation rate measures how fast its supply grows through new issuance, such as staking rewards, mining rewards or scheduled emissions. It is the annual new tokens as a percentage of the current supply. This calculator computes it and shows the supply after a year and the daily emission rate. Emitting fifty million against a billion-token supply is a five percent annual inflation rate.
A higher inflation rate means more new tokens entering circulation, which can dilute holders unless demand grows to match.
Inflation and token value
Inflation is a key factor in a token long-term value. High inflation funds staking rewards and network security but increases sell pressure as recipients cash out. Comparing a token staking yield against its inflation rate reveals whether stakers are truly gaining share or merely keeping pace with dilution. Some tokens offset inflation with burns, producing a lower net rate.
Consider inflation alongside demand, utility and burns to judge a token supply dynamics. All calculation happens locally in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a token inflation rate?
It is the annual new token issuance as a percentage of the current supply, measuring how quickly the supply grows.
Why does inflation matter?
New tokens dilute existing holders and can add sell pressure, so inflation affects long-term value unless demand grows to match.
How does inflation compare to staking yield?
If your staking yield is below the inflation rate, your share of the network is shrinking despite earning rewards; above it, you gain share.
Can burns offset inflation?
Yes. Some tokens burn a portion of supply, which reduces the net inflation rate below the gross emissions figure.
