Impermanent Loss Calculator
See how much impermanent loss you'd face if your token's price moves versus the asset it's paired with.
How impermanent loss works
When you provide liquidity, the pool automatically rebalances as prices move — leaving you with more of the falling asset and less of the rising one. Compared with simply holding, that gap is impermanent loss.
- A 2× price move (+100%) ≈ 5.7% loss vs holding.
- A 4× move ≈ 20% loss; a 5× move ≈ 25%.
- It's "impermanent" because it reverses if prices return — and trading fees can offset it.

Frequently asked questions
What is impermanent loss?
Impermanent loss is the difference between holding tokens in a liquidity pool versus just holding them in your wallet, caused by price changes between the two pooled assets.
When does impermanent loss happen?
Whenever the price of one pooled asset changes relative to the other. The bigger the divergence, the larger the loss. It becomes permanent only if you withdraw at that price.
Can fees offset impermanent loss?
Yes — trading fees earned by liquidity providers can offset or exceed impermanent loss, especially in high-volume pools.
Is this IL calculator free?
