## Calculating Your Estimated BPT and Bonus Voting Tokens

We've created a[ spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vdpZF6vDZkM1axpoc3cP1rAy2tD3J3VwOPe7coVELE4/edit#gid=0) to help with calculating their BPT Tokens, Bonus Voting Tokens, and release yourself. You can also use the spreadsheet to find out how many EGLs you've received, or you can find this through [egl.vote](http://www.egl.vote) or by querying the contract directly.<br>
