Method & assumptions

The gift value is its original Telegram catalog price, not a resale quote. The upgrade fee comes from the dated June 25, 2026 catalog snapshot. This calculator makes no runtime request to Telegram or GitHub.

Total Stars × USD per Star = USD estimate. USD is divided by the server-cached CoinGecko TON/USD price to produce the TON estimate, which is compared only with the stored collection floor.

Calculator guide

How to estimate the total cost of upgrading a Telegram gift

The upgrade decision combines two different values: the original catalog price of the gift and Telegram’s upgrade fee. This calculator converts their total from Stars into an estimated USD and TON reference.

Telegram gift upgrade cost formula

The original gift price and the upgrade fee are added in Stars. That total is multiplied by the selected USD-per-Star reference, then converted to TON with the current server-cached TON/USD price.

Total Stars = original gift price + upgrade fee. Estimated TON = total Stars × USD per Star ÷ USD per TON.

Original cost is not current market value

The catalog price shows what the gift originally cost in Telegram; it is not a live resale quote. The collection floor is a separate stored marketplace reference and may reflect different models, attributes, item numbers and seller expectations.

A positive difference versus the collection floor should not be read as guaranteed upgrade profit.

What to verify before upgrading

  1. Confirm the exact upgrade fee shown for your gift inside Telegram.
  2. Use your effective Stars purchase cost if it differs from the stored reference.
  3. Check current listings for the collection and relevant models.
  4. Allow for marketplace fees and the possibility that the gift will not sell at floor.

Why the selected model matters

Upgrading creates a collectible with attributes that can trade above or below the broad collection floor. A model-floor comparison is more specific than the collection floor, but even a model match does not fully account for backdrop, symbol, rarity combinations or liquidity.

How to interpret the comparison

Use the TON estimate as a common unit for comparing the entered Stars cost with the stored floor. It is a reference-cost comparison, not expected value: the calculator does not predict which attributes an upgrade will receive, what buyers will pay, or how fees will affect a later sale.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does a higher collection floor make an upgrade profitable?

No. This is only a comparison with a stored collection floor. Model, attributes, fees, listing depth, and execution price can materially change the outcome.

Where does the TON/USD rate come from?

The calculator uses the current TON/USD price from CoinGecko through the project’s server-side endpoint, cached for 10 minutes.

Is the gift cost the current resale price?

No. Gift cost is the original Telegram catalog price in Stars. The upgrade fee comes from the dated catalog snapshot. The resale floor is shown separately in TON.
