Solana Fee CalculatorRent calculator
Every Solana account must hold a minimum balance that depends on its size. It is a deposit, not a fee: closing the account returns it. The rate here is read from the network, because SIMD-0437 lowers it in steps.
The current rent rate: no data yet. The page shows nothing rather than a guess.
FAQ
How much is rent for a token account?
It is (128 + 165) bytes times the current lamports per byte; the value is shown above once the network has been read.
Do I get the rent back?
Yes, when the account is closed: its lamports go to the address the closing instruction names. Who can close it depends on the program — a token account can be closed by its owner once it is empty.
Why is there an extra 128 bytes?
Every account is charged for 128 bytes of storage overhead on top of its data (ACCOUNT_STORAGE_OVERHEAD in the Solana SDK). A wallet with no data still needs the minimum for 128 bytes.
Is rent going down?
SIMD-0437 proposes lowering lamports per byte from 6,960 to 696 in five feature-gated steps, each activated separately. This page always uses the rate the network reports, so it follows each step when it goes live.
