📖What is it?

For informational/educational purposes only. Token vesting schedules control when allocated crypto tokens or equity become accessible. A cliff period means no tokens unlock until that point; after the cliff, tokens unlock linearly over the remaining vesting period.

🎯How to use

Enter the total token allocation, total vesting period, cliff duration, and how many months have elapsed since the vesting started. The calculator shows how many tokens have vested, the unlock percentage, and how many remain locked.

💡Example scenario

1,000,000 tokens, 48-month vesting, 12-month cliff. At month 18: cliff passed (yes). Post-cliff months elapsed = 6 out of 36 remaining. Vested fraction = 6/36 = 16.67%. Tokens vested = 166,700. Locked = 833,300.

🏆Pro tip

The standard "1-year cliff, 4-year vest" schedule originated in Silicon Valley startup equity. In crypto, shorter vesting periods (2 years) are common but increase sell pressure. Always check if vesting is time-based or milestone-based in your token agreement.
