Calculate how much SOL you're losing to rent deposits on Solana. See estimates based on your trading activity and learn how to recover it all.

Every token account on Solana requires a rent-exempt deposit of approximately 0.00204 SOL. While this seems tiny for a single account, it adds up fast depending on your trading activity. Here's a breakdown of how much SOL you're likely losing to rent deposits based on your profile.

Rent Deposit Calculator:

Casual User (25 tokens traded):    ~0.05 SOL locked
Regular Trader (50 tokens):         ~0.10 SOL locked
Active Trader (100 tokens):         ~0.20 SOL locked
Meme Coin Degen (250 tokens):       ~0.51 SOL locked
Heavy Trader (500 tokens):          ~1.02 SOL locked
Bot User (1000+ tokens):            ~2.04+ SOL locked

Formula: Tokens Traded × 0.00204 SOL = Locked SOL

These numbers represent a snapshot in time. If you trade daily, the locked SOL grows every day. A trader who buys and sells 10 new tokens per day adds 0.0204 SOL per day in locked rent -- that's 0.61 SOL per month or 7.45 SOL per year that just sits there doing nothing.

The compounding effect

What makes this particularly costly is that the locked SOL could be working for you. Whether it's staking, trading, or simply holding, SOL locked in empty accounts generates zero return. Over time, the opportunity cost of not reclaiming this SOL can exceed the deposits themselves.

How to check your actual number

Instead of estimating, use SolWipe to get the exact count. Visit solwipe.com, connect your wallet, and see precisely how many empty accounts you have and how much SOL you can recover. The scan is free and takes seconds.

Recovery strategy

If you're an active trader, we recommend cleaning your wallet weekly with SolWipe. This prevents rent deposits from piling up and ensures your SOL is always available for trading. For casual users, a monthly check is sufficient. Either way, there's no reason to leave SOL locked in accounts you'll never use again.
