How Much Does it Cost to Create a Solana Token? All Costs Explained

Transparent breakdown of all costs for creating an SPL token on Solana: platform fee, network fees, rent-exempt deposit and IPFS storage.

SPLCreator Team

Total cost overview

Creating a Solana token via SPLCreator costs approximately 0.103-0.105 SOL in total.

| Cost item | Amount |
|-----------|--------|
| Platform fee (SPLCreator) | 0.100 SOL |
| Mint account rent-exempt | ~0.002 SOL |
| Token account (ATA) rent | ~0.002 SOL |
| Priority fee (network) | ~0.001 SOL |
| IPFS storage | Included |
| Total | ~0.105 SOL |

## What are rent-exempt deposits?

On Solana, every account on-chain requires a minimum balance (rent-exempt deposit). This is not a fee — it's a deposit that you can recover if you ever close the account.

## Comparison with Ethereum

Creating an ERC-20 token on Ethereum currently costs $50-300 in gas fees. On Solana this is $0.01-0.02 for the base fees. Plus the SPLCreator platform fee of 0.1 SOL (~€15).

## Conclusion

At a SOL price of €150, the total is approximately €15-16. This is a one-time cost — there are no monthly fees or subscription costs.
