How it works

One input, one number.

1

Paste your address

Your public wallet address is looked up directly against a public blockchain API — nothing goes through Cointikka's servers.

2

We count your UTXOs

The tool pulls your current unspent outputs and detects your address type automatically.

3

Get one clear number

See what combining them into one would cost right now, at the current live network fee.

Why use this calculator

📡

Live network fees

Uses the current recommended sat/vB rate, not a stale or guessed number.

🎯

One clear answer

Leads with a single plain-language number — no cluttered dashboard to interpret.

🔒

Address stays private

Your address is sent to a public blockchain API in your own browser — never logged by Cointikka.

⌨️

Manual mode available

Don't want to paste an address? Enter your UTXO count by hand instead.

📊

Optional comparison

See the same cost at higher fee levels, only if you want to look.

Understanding UTXO consolidation

Why long-term Bitcoin holders end up needing this, and when it's worth doing.

What's a UTXO, and why do they pile up?

Every time you receive Bitcoin — a DCA buy, a payout, a transfer from an exchange — it arrives in your wallet as its own separate UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output). If you've been buying small amounts regularly over months or years, especially through a wallet that generates a new address each time, you can end up holding dozens or even hundreds of small UTXOs without realizing it.

Why that becomes expensive

A Bitcoin transaction fee is based on its size in bytes, not the amount being sent. Spending from many small UTXOs at once means the transaction has to reference each one as a separate input, and each input adds real, billable size. A wallet with 50 small UTXOs can cost far more to spend from than a wallet holding the same total value in one or two UTXOs — sometimes hundreds of dollars more when network fees spike.

Why consolidate during low-fee periods

Combining your UTXOs into one, while fees are low, means you pay a small cost now instead of a much larger one later when you actually need to spend and fees happen to be high. Network fees fluctuate significantly — from under 1 sat/vB during quiet periods to well over 100 sat/vB during congestion — so timing a consolidation for a calm window is what makes it worthwhile.

The trade-off to keep in mind

Consolidating links your UTXOs together on-chain, which can reduce privacy by making it easier to see that they belong to the same wallet. For most holders the fee savings outweigh this, but it's worth being aware of if privacy between your transactions matters to you.

Frequently asked questions

What is UTXO consolidation?
+
Every time you receive Bitcoin, it lands in your wallet as a separate UTXO. Consolidation means combining many small UTXOs into one larger one in a single transaction, which reduces the fee cost of spending them later.
Is my wallet address sent to Cointikka's servers?
+
No. Your address is sent directly from your browser to mempool.space's public API to look up your UTXOs. Cointikka's own servers never see it, log it, or store it.
Which address types are supported?
+
Legacy (starting with 1), Nested SegWit (starting with 3), Native SegWit (starting with bc1q), and Taproot (starting with bc1p) are all supported.
How is the fee estimated?
+
The calculator counts your UTXOs, estimates the transaction size in virtual bytes based on your address type, and multiplies that by the current live network fee rate in sat/vB to get an estimated total fee.
When is the best time to consolidate?
+
Network fees are lowest during periods of low mempool congestion, often on weekends or overnight (UTC). Consolidating during a low-fee window, rather than waiting until fees spike, is generally what saves the most money.
Does this tool show my individual UTXOs?
+
It shows your total UTXO count and the estimated cost to combine them, without listing each one individually — keeping the result simple and focused on the number that matters.
