Tax Token Creator
Launch a Token-2022 mint with a built-in transfer fee — a “tax” charged on every transfer, capped by a maximum fee. Your wallet is the mint authority and payer, on-chain metadata is written into the mint, and the whole thing is created in a single transaction you sign yourself.
Connect your wallet
Connect a Solana wallet to create a tax token. Everything is non-custodial — you sign the creation transaction in your own wallet and become the mint authority.
Create a Solana transfer-fee token with Token-2022
This tool launches a Token-2022 tax token — a Solana mint that charges a built-in transfer fee on every move of the token. Unlike a classic SPL token, the fee logic lives in the Token-2022 program itself, so you do not need a custom smart contract to collect a tax. Your wallet is the mint authority and payer, the mint is created in a single transaction you sign yourself, and nothing is custodial.
How transfer-fee mechanics work
When you set a fee percentage, the Token-2022 transfer-fee extension withholds that share of every transfer and accumulates it on the recipient's token account. As the withdraw-withheld authority, you can later harvest those withheld fees to your wallet. You also define a max fee per transfer — an absolute cap in whole tokens — so even very large transfers are never taxed beyond that ceiling. This keeps the fee predictable and protects holders moving big amounts.
On-chain metadata, the fee cap and compatibility
Token-2022 stores your token's name, symbol and metadata URI directly in the mint via the metadata extension, so the basic identity travels with the token on-chain rather than only in an external account. The creator caps the transfer fee so it stays within sensible limits, and you can optionally revoke the mint and freeze authorities to lock supply and prevent freezes — both permanent. One important caveat: Token-2022 transfer-fee tokens are newer, so not every wallet, DEX or explorer supports them yet. Test the full flow on Devnet first. For a simpler launch, try the classic Solana token creator, explore all token tools, or deploy on an EVM chain with the ERC20 token creator.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Token-2022 tax token?
A Token-2022 tax token is a Solana mint built on the Token-2022 program with the transfer-fee extension enabled. It charges a percentage fee — the 'tax' — on every transfer, with the fee withheld at the protocol level rather than by a custom contract. Token-2022 also stores name, symbol and URI directly on-chain in the mint via the metadata extension.
How does the Solana transfer fee actually work?
On each transfer, a configured percentage of the amount is withheld and parked on the recipient's token account. You, as the withdraw-withheld authority, can later harvest those accumulated fees to your wallet. The fee is enforced by the Token-2022 program itself, so it applies wherever the token moves on supporting infrastructure.
What is the 25% transfer-fee cap?
Token-2022 limits the transfer fee to a maximum of a few hundred basis points in practice; this creator caps the fee you can set so it stays within sane, usable limits. You also set an absolute max fee per transfer (in whole tokens), so very large transfers are never taxed beyond that ceiling. Both values are written into the mint at creation.
Why might wallets or DEXs not support my tax token?
Token-2022 is newer than the classic SPL token program, and not every wallet, DEX, explorer or aggregator has full support for its extensions yet. Transfer-fee tokens in particular need integrations that account for the withheld fee. Always test the full flow on Devnet and confirm your target venues support Token-2022 before going to mainnet.
Can I change the tax or supply after creation?
The transfer-fee configuration and on-chain metadata are set at creation. If you revoke the mint authority the supply is fixed forever, and revoking the freeze authority means no account can be frozen — both are permanent. Plan your fee, cap and authority choices carefully before you sign.
