How to Build a Complete Tokenomics Spreadsheet for Your Crypto Project

Planning tokenomics in your head or on a napkin is how projects fail. A proper tokenomics spreadsheet forces you to think through every allocation, vesting schedule, and scenario before you launch.

What Your Tokenomics Spreadsheet Must Include

A complete tokenomics spreadsheet needs to answer: How many tokens does each category receive? When do they unlock? What happens to price at different market caps? How much has been burned so far?

The Five Essential Sheets

Dashboard shows token configuration and summary of all allocations. Allocation Table has each category with percentage, token amount, cliff, vesting duration, and TGE unlock. Vesting Schedule shows month-by-month unlocks for 24 months. Burn Tracker logs every burn event. Price Scenarios show market cap and ROI at 10 different price points.

Common Tokenomics Spreadsheet Mistakes

Using percentages only without token amounts makes it hard to understand real impact. Not modeling vesting schedules leads to surprise selling pressure when cliff periods end. Ignoring circulating supply at listing — market cap at listing is based on circulating supply, not total supply.
