Impermanent Loss Calculator
Enter your initial token price, current price, and deposit size to calculate impermanent loss for a 50/50 Uniswap-style liquidity pool — see your LP value, HODL value, and exact dollar loss from IL.
How This Tool Works
Impermanent loss measures how much less your LP position is worth compared to simply holding the same tokens, due to the AMM's automatic rebalancing.
IL = 2√r / (1 + r) − 1 where r = new price / initial price
LP Value = Initial Deposit × √r
HODL Value = Initial Deposit / 2 × (r + 1)
Example: deposit $10,000 at $2,000/ETH. Price doubles to $4,000 (r=2): LP value = $10,000 × √2 = $14,142. HODL value = $10,000/2 × 3 = $15,000. IL = −$858 (5.72% loss vs HODL). Trading fees must exceed this loss over your holding period to make providing liquidity worthwhile.
