Rebase Token Balance Calculator
Rebase tokens grow or shrink every holder's balance at each rebase rather than paying separate rewards. Because the change compounds, a small per-rebase rate applied many times a day adds up quickly. This calculator takes your starting balance, the per-rebase rate, the number of rebases, and how many rebases occur per year, then projects your final token balance, the tokens gained, the total growth percentage, and the annualized growth rate. All rates come from the protocol's own documentation as user inputs.
Rebase compounding formula
Final balance = start * (1 + rate/100) ^ rebases
Tokens gained = final balance - start
Total growth % = (final balance / start - 1) * 100
Annualized growth % = ((1 + rate/100) ^ rebases per year - 1) * 100
This is geometric compounding applied once per rebase. A positive rebase mints to all holders, so your share of total supply does not change; dollar value depends on price.
Things to know
- Per-rebase rate and frequency are protocol parameters that can change; take them from official docs.
- A growing balance does not raise your share of supply when everyone rebases together.
- Token price drives dollar value; balance growth alone does not mean profit.
- Negative rebases shrink balances; enter a negative rate to model contraction.
- Tax treatment of rebase gains can be complex; consult IRS digital asset guidance.
Rebase tokens: frequently asked questions
What is a rebase token?
A rebase token automatically adjusts every holder's balance at regular intervals, called rebases, rather than paying separate reward tokens. If the rebase rate is positive, your token count grows each rebase; the protocol mints proportionally to all holders so your share of supply stays the same. This calculator compounds the rebase rate over a number of rebases.
How is a compounded rebase balance calculated?
Each rebase multiplies your balance by 1 plus the per-rebase rate. After n rebases your balance is the starting balance times (1 plus rate) raised to the power n. This is geometric compounding, the same mathematics as compound interest applied per rebase rather than per year.
Where do I get the rebase rate and frequency?
The per-rebase rate and how often rebases occur are set by the protocol and may change through its policy. Take the current figures from the project's official documentation and enter them. This tool does not assume any rate because it is protocol-specific and variable.
Does a growing balance mean I am making money?
Not necessarily. Because a positive rebase mints to everyone, your percentage of total supply is unchanged; your dollar value depends on the token price. If price falls faster than your token count rises, you can lose value despite a larger balance. This tool projects token count, not dollar value unless you enter a price.
What is the annualized growth from rebases?
If rebases occur at a fixed frequency, annualized growth is (1 plus per-rebase rate) raised to the number of rebases per year, minus 1, expressed as a percentage. This calculator reports the effective growth over the rebases you enter and an annualized figure when you supply rebases per year.
