How Impermanent Loss Works

Impermanent Loss occurs when you provide liquidity to an AMM (Automated Market Maker) and the price ratio of your deposited tokens changes compared to when you deposited them.

The loss is called "impermanent" because it can be reversed if prices return to the original ratio. However, if you withdraw while prices are different, the loss becomes permanent.

When IL is Lower
  • • Stable pairs (USDC/USDT)
  • • Correlated assets
  • • Short time periods
When IL is Higher
  • • Volatile pairs (ETH/SHIB)
  • • Large price divergence
  • • Extended time periods

Note: This calculator uses the constant product formula (x * y = k) for 50/50 pools. Real returns depend on trading fees earned, which can offset or exceed impermanent loss. Different AMM designs may have different IL characteristics.
