Estimate what a Pump.fun launch costs at the live SOL price
Most of what a launch "costs" is the SOL your wallets choose to buy the token with. That SOL is not gone — it becomes tokens you can sell later, for more or for less. The fixed costs on top of it are small.
This calculator adds both together so you know how much SOL the launch needs in total, and how much of it is actually fees.
Buys: the dev (creator) wallet's first buy, the bundle wallets that buy in the same block as the creation, and any snipe wallets that buy right after. You choose all of these amounts.
Creation reserve: SolBundler keeps 0.02 SOL in the creator wallet for the mint, the metadata upload and the creation transaction.
Jito tip: a payment to the validator for including the bundle. It is what makes the creation and the bundle buys land together in one block. The live tip floor is shown under the tip field.
Network fees: Solana's base fee per transaction — a fraction of a cent each.
SolBundler fee: 1% of the buy amount. No subscription and nothing on your sells.
Size the tip to the network: when the floor is low you do not need a large tip, and when the network is busy a tip that is too low is the most common reason a bundle does not land.
Use fewer, better-funded wallets rather than many small ones — every wallet adds a transaction and needs its own small fee buffer.
Remember the costs this calculator cannot know in advance: price impact on your own buys and the price you eventually sell at.
Creating the coin only needs a small amount of SOL for the mint, metadata and transaction fees — SolBundler reserves 0.02 SOL in the creator wallet for this. The rest of a launch's cost is whatever you decide to buy.
Enter your wallets and buy amounts above. A small launch with only a dev buy needs well under 1 SOL; a bundled launch needs the sum of all buys plus the tip, reserve and fees.
Start from the current tip floor shown under the tip field and add a margin when the network is busy. A tip below what validators accept means the bundle simply does not land.
No. The fee is 1% of the buy amount at launch. Selling is free on our side; only network and launchpad fees apply.
