Liquidity Pool Calculator
Plan a 50/50 liquidity position. Enter the amount you want to deposit and each token's price to get a balanced split, then add the pool's APR to project your fee income.
Balanced 50/50 deposit
Projected fee income
Fee income is separate from impermanent loss. If the two token prices diverge, check the impermanent loss calculator to see your net position.
How a 50/50 liquidity pool works
Most automated market makers (like Uniswap v2-style pools) require you to deposit two tokens of equal dollar value — a 50/50 split. If you want to add $1,000 of liquidity, you provide $500 of each token. The calculator converts your target deposit into the exact token amounts you need at the current prices.
In return you receive LP tokens representing your share of the pool, and you earn a portion of every swap fee proportional to that share. Your returns come from those fees, potential token incentives, and price appreciation — offset by any impermanent loss if the two prices diverge.
Projecting fee income from APR
Pool APR expresses the annualised fee (and incentive) yield on the value you supply. Multiply your deposit by the APR to get the yearly income, then divide by 365 for a daily estimate. Remember that APR is variable — it rises and falls with trading volume and total liquidity — and that impermanent loss can eat into fee income when prices move sharply. Use the impermanent loss calculator alongside this tool to see the full picture.
Frequently asked questions
How much of each token do I need for a liquidity pool?
Standard 50/50 AMM pools require equal dollar values of both tokens. Split your total deposit in half and divide each half by that token's price to get the number of tokens needed. This calculator does the split for you.
How is liquidity pool APR calculated?
APR is the annualised yield from trading fees (and any incentives) relative to the liquidity you provide. It equals the fees earned over a period, scaled to a year, divided by your position value. Because it depends on trading volume and total pool size, APR fluctuates over time.
Do liquidity pool returns account for impermanent loss?
Fee APR and impermanent loss are separate effects. Your net return is roughly the fees and incentives you earn minus any impermanent loss from price divergence. A pool can still be profitable when fees outweigh the impermanent loss, so model both before providing liquidity.
