Telegram Stars Calculator
Send /calc 150 to estimate the purchase cost of 150 Telegram Stars as $3.00 USD.
Telegram Stars Calculator estimates the buyer cost of a Stars amount in US dollars. Open @MyHoldFolioBot and send a calculation command with the amount you want to check. There is no purchase step or Pro tier, and the same calculation is available in the web calculator linked on this page.
The estimate uses two US cents per Star from the shared kit/stars-calc.ts module. That module cites intel/s453/payments/REPORT.md and the site’s existing estimate of 150 Stars for about three dollars. It does not fetch a current exchange rate. Telegram package prices can differ by region and platform, so compare the result with the price Telegram actually shows before a purchase.
Estimate a Stars amount
- Open the bot in a private Telegram chat and send /start. Read the usage instructions and the example calculation, or follow the Web calculator button to calculate in your browser.
- Send /calc 150. The response estimates 150 Stars at $3.00 USD. Replace the example with a whole number from zero to one million, using digits without commas or decimal places.
- Read the estimate caveat before sharing the result. The Share calculator button shares a calculator link; the Web calculator button opens the browser tool. Send /paysupport to see the free-service notice.
Using the result in a conversation
The result is an approximate purchase cost, not a cash-out amount. Inline calculation is implemented for queries such as @MyHoldFolioBot 150, but the owner still needs to enable inline mode in BotFather. Until then, use /calc or the web calculator. Calculator inputs are not saved; private commands record user details and start or action events.
Free calculator
There is no payment, subscription or Pro upgrade. The dollars shown in a result estimate the cost of buying Stars, not a charge for using this calculator.
Use it without adding the bot
Inline calculation is implemented: type @MyHoldFolioBot 150 in a chat once inline mode is enabled by the owner in BotFather. Activation is still pending; use /calc or the web calculator now.

FAQ
- Where does the estimate come from?
- The shared kit/stars-calc.ts sets USD_CENTS_PER_STAR = 2. Its provenance is intel/s453/payments/REPORT.md and the site’s existing 150 Stars ≈ $3 estimate. The bot and web calculator use the same arithmetic.
