I'm not sure if you can calculate circulating supply just based on the ICO numbers, the total supply, and price. If they're on coinmarketcap they'll have the numbers - although they're not always up to date. You'd probably have to rely on information from the token creators themselves.

Thank you for answer i know what you mean or i guess we cant get exact numbers but when i ask they dont allways answer on their telegram chanel, and i guess there is a way to find it out from what you know numbers since others predict too i just dont know whats the math ..

As "ikilledcobain" said, you cannot calculate the circulating supply from the ICO's and that's because unsold tokens usually gets burned or sent to an asset contract or similar, and they often offer a lot in bounty, and also someone earns tokens for doing promotions. So it's not easy to calculate.
