Crypto Dust Calculator: Is a Small Balance Worth Moving?
Estimate whether a small crypto balance is economically worth consolidating after network and route costs.
Net result = balance value − network fee − route fee − price impact. If it is not clearly positive, leave the balance alone. The calculator below does the math for you.
Compare Balance Value With Total Cost
The useful calculation is not just token price multiplied by quantity. Include network gas, swap or bridge fees, price impact and the amount you expect to receive before deciding to move a small balance.
Use the calculator below with the numbers from a live quote. It shows your net result and whether the move is worth doing.

Likely worth it: most of the value survives the costs.
A Simple 4-Step Process
- Check your public address on every network. Use a read-only scan. You only need the public address, never a seed phrase or private key.
- Verify before you trust. Compare each unfamiliar token contract with an independent source. A ticker or logo proves nothing.
- Work out the real cost. Add network gas, route fees and price impact, then compare the total with the balance value.
- Act only where it pays off. Move balances that stay clearly positive after costs. Hide or ignore the rest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I get the fee numbers?
From the live quote in your wallet or swap interface. Fees change with network congestion, so check immediately before signing.
What is price impact?
The change in price caused by your own trade. It matters for illiquid tokens and is usually negligible for large, liquid assets.
Does the calculator move any funds?
No. It runs entirely in your browser and never connects to your wallet.
