Impermanent Loss Calculator

0%impermanent loss vs holding

Estimate the impermanent loss you would suffer providing liquidity to a standard constant product pool, such as a Uniswap style fifty fifty pair, when the price of one token moves relative to the other. Enter the initial price of each token and their new price, and the tool computes the price ratio change and the resulting impermanent loss as a percentage of what you would have had by simply holding. The formula it uses is two times the square root of the ratio, divided by one plus the ratio, minus one, which is the standard closed form for a fifty fifty pool. Impermanent loss is why liquidity providers can end up behind holders even when both tokens rise, and it only becomes permanent if you withdraw. Fees earned can offset it. Everything is computed locally in your browser with no data sent anywhere.

How to use Impermanent Loss Calculator

  1. Enter the price ratio change between the two pooled tokens.
  2. Read the impermanent loss percent shown.
  3. Compare it against simply holding to judge the pool.

Frequently asked questions

What is impermanent loss?

It is the value gap between holding tokens in a liquidity pool versus just holding them, caused by the pool rebalancing as prices diverge.

How is impermanent loss calculated here?

From the price ratio change between the two tokens, using the constant product formula, the tool shows the percent lost versus simply holding.

Does a bigger price change mean more loss?

Yes. Impermanent loss grows as the two token prices diverge further, and it is zero when the price ratio returns to where you entered.
