Economically Unspendable Bitcoin UTXO Calculator


This calculator will give you an idea of how much it costs to spend a UTXO with specific characteristics. When that cost is computed, we can determine what the viable floor value of that type of UTXO is for any given transaction fee rate, which means you should avoid receiving deposits below that value.

If you want to understand how transaction input sizes get calculated, check out the explanation on the Bitcoin Optech Calculator
