How this calculator works
Telegram channels level up with boosts from Premium members. Each level unlocks more stories per day, more custom reactions, and cosmetic upgrades like custom colors and wallpapers. Telegram computes the exact number of boosts per level on its servers and does not publish the formula, but community measurements consistently land near 0.1% of a channel's subscribers per level, with a minimum of one boost.
This calculator applies that measured rate: it estimates the boosts required for your target level, subtracts the boosts you already have, and converts the gap into Premium member counts. Every paying Premium user has 4 boost slots they can assign, and gifting Premium grants extra slots.
The estimate is for planning. Your channel's boost page inside Telegram always shows the exact requirement, and thresholds shift as the channel grows. Pair boosts with steady member growth so the level is sustainable: boosts disappear when Premium subscriptions lapse or get reassigned.
