Impermanent loss calculator

Provide the price of the volatile token when you deposited into a 50/50 pool and its price now: it computes the impermanent loss versus simply holding, the value in the pool against the HODL value, and the fee yield you would need to break even.

Loss recovery calculatorA drop and the bounce it takes to undo it are not symmetric: down 50% needs +100% back, not +50%. Enter the loss and see the exact gain — and price multiple — required to get back to even. The deeper the hole, the more brutal the climb.Stop-Loss & Take-Profit CalculatorPlace the stop and target of a long or short position from a risk:reward ratio, two percentages or two exact prices — with risk and reward per share, the realised R:R, the break-even win rate and optional position sizing.Cost of equity calculator (CAPM & DDM)The return shareholders expect, by both standard models. CAPM: Rf + β·(Rm − Rf), the risk-based approach. DDM (Gordon growth): D₁/P₀ + g, for dividend-paying stocks. Enter the inputs and it returns each estimate side by side — a key ingredient of the WACC.Break-even price calculatorFees on both sides mean you don't break even at your buy price — you break even a little above it. Enter the buy price and the buy/sell fees and get the exact sell price that gets you back to zero, plus the minimum gain that price represents.Crypto DCA calculatorDollar-cost averaging: enter your fixed buy amount and the prices you bought at, and get coins accumulated, true average cost, current value and profit/loss.

Enter Deposit value, Token price at deposit, Current price and the Impermanent loss calculator works out Price change, Impermanent loss, Value if held (HODL), Value in the pool, Loss vs holding, Fee yield to break even straight away. For instance, with Deposit value = $1,000.00, Token price at deposit = $2,000.00 and Current price = $3,000.00 it returns Price change = 50%, Impermanent loss = -2.02% and Value if held (HODL) = $1,250.00.

How to use it

  1. Enter your values: Deposit value, Token price at deposit, Current price.
  2. Read the result instantly: Price change, Impermanent loss, Value if held (HODL), Value in the pool, Loss vs holding, Fee yield to break even.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Impermanent loss calculator actually compute?

It takes Deposit value, Token price at deposit and Current price and derives Price change, Impermanent loss, Value if held (HODL), Value in the pool, Loss vs holding and Fee yield to break even from them. The calculation is live as you type, so the result updates on every change.

What information do I need to provide?

3 values: Deposit value ($), Token price at deposit ($) and Current price ($). Nothing else is required — no account, no file upload.

Can you show a worked example?

With Deposit value = $1,000.00, Token price at deposit = $2,000.00 and Current price = $3,000.00, the calculator returns Price change = 50%, Impermanent loss = -2.02% and Value if held (HODL) = $1,250.00. Those figures come from running this exact tool, so you can reproduce them by entering the same values.

What happens if I enter larger values?

It moves a lot. Using Deposit value = $2,000.00, Token price at deposit = $4,000.00 and Current price = $6,000.00 instead, Value if held (HODL) goes from $1,250.00 to $2,500.00 — which is why it is worth testing a few scenarios rather than trusting a single figure.

What does it give for smaller values?

Scaled down to Deposit value = $500.00, Token price at deposit = $1,000.00 and Current price = $1,500.00, Value if held (HODL) comes out at $625.00. The relationship is worth checking at both ends before you rely on a single result.

When would I actually use this?

Comparing two investments that pay at different times, deciding whether a project clears its cost of capital, and sanity-checking a valuation someone else produced.

What is the most common mistake?

Trusting a valuation without asking what share of it comes from the terminal value. Past 70%, the answer is an assumption about the distant future dressed up as a calculation.

How accurate is it, and what are the limits?

Estimate only — not financial or tax advice. Exchange formulas vary.

What is the difference between the Impermanent loss calculator and the Loss recovery calculator?

This one returns Price change and Impermanent loss; the Loss recovery calculator returns Gain needed to recover and Price multiple needed. That is the whole difference — open the one whose figure you need.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Stop-Loss & Take-Profit Calculator is the closest one after this: Place the stop and target of a long or short position from a risk:reward ratio, two percentages or two exact prices — with risk and reward per share, the realised R:R, the break-even win rate and optional position sizing.
