# Check Previous Balance Tool

The **Check Previous Balance** tool can be used to find how much token balance an address has at a specific time or block.

To access the Check Previous Balance tool, click on the **'more'** button on the address page located on the right-hand side.

Then click on the Check Previous Balance button. You will be pointed to a page called **ETH Account Balance Checker**.

Once here, follow the steps below:

1.  Enter the desired **address.**
2.  Choose a **date** OR a **block number.**
3.  Click on **'Lookup'**

You will be presented with a snapshot date, the block number, token quantity at that specific date, and changes in the amount of token the address holds represented by **'Quantity Changed'**.

The **ETH Balance Historical Chart** below displays the account's ETH balance history since its first associated transaction.

💡

The **date** snapshot displays the account balance before the selected date, at 12:00:00 AM +UTC.

💡

Since the Ethereum Merge on September 15, 2022, the average number of Ethereum blocks per day is more than 7,000 (~12 seconds per block). For accounts that have many transactions per day, using the **block** snapshot to check the account balance at the selected block number is a better option.
