Map out a token vesting schedule
Token allocations often vest over time with a cliff and a release cadence, and knowing exactly when tokens unlock matters for planning. This calculator generates a vesting schedule from the cliff, total duration and cadence, showing the unlock amounts and dates.
Why cliffs and cadence shape a schedule
A vesting schedule delays access to tokens to align incentives over time. A cliff is an initial period during which nothing vests, after which a chunk unlocks at once, then the rest releases gradually on a cadence, monthly or otherwise, until fully vested. The cliff prevents an immediate exit, and the cadence spreads the rest. Seeing the full schedule of dates and amounts is essential for anyone holding vesting tokens, whether for personal planning or understanding supply that will enter circulation.
Every unlock, dated

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vesting cliff?
An initial period during which no tokens vest. When the cliff ends, a chunk unlocks at once, after which the remainder releases gradually on a cadence.
What does the cadence control?
How often tokens release after the cliff, monthly or otherwise, until the allocation is fully vested. It spreads the remaining unlocks over the duration.
Why does vesting exist?
To align incentives over time and prevent an immediate sell-off, by releasing tokens gradually rather than all at once.
Who needs a vesting schedule?
Anyone holding vesting tokens for personal planning, and anyone analysing a token’s supply, since unlocks add tokens to circulation on known dates.
