Liquidity Pool Share Calculator
Calculate your share of a DeFi liquidity pool. See token amounts, fee earnings, and annualized returns based on your deposit size.
About this calculator
The Liquidity Pool Share Calculator estimates what happens when you deposit into a two-token automated market maker (AMM) pool — the kind used by protocols like Uniswap or PancakeSwap — and what fee income that position might generate. Pool Share is Deposit Amount divided by the pool's total liquidity after your deposit is added (Total Pool Liquidity plus your own deposit), expressed as a percentage; this is the fraction of the pool's future trading volume your position is entitled to a cut of. In a standard 50/50-weighted pool, half your deposit's dollar value converts to Token A and half to Token B at their current prices, which is what Token A Amount and Token B Amount represent.
Daily Fee Income and Annualized Fee Return estimate your ongoing return from Pool Fee — the trading fee the pool charges swappers, most of which flows back to liquidity providers proportional to their pool share — assuming the pool turns over roughly 10% of its total value locked in trading volume each day, a simplifying assumption used as a starting estimate rather than a guarantee, since actual daily volume varies enormously by pool, token pair, and market conditions. This calculator does NOT model impermanent loss — the separate, often much larger risk that your two tokens' relative price movement causes your withdrawn value to be worth less than if you'd simply held both tokens outside the pool — so the Annualized Fee Return shown here is fee income alone, not a total-return estimate for the position.

How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the total liquidity pool size in USD.
- Set the amount you are depositing into the pool.
- Enter the current Token A Price and Token B Price and the pool's trading fee (Pool Fee) to match the specific pool you're evaluating.
- Review your pool share percentage and estimated trading fee allocation.
- Track how your share changes as others add or remove liquidity.
- Use the fee APR estimate to compare this pool against other yield opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Pool Share actually represent?
Pool Share is your Deposit Amount as a percentage of the total pool liquidity after your deposit is added, and it determines both how much of the pool's trading fees you're entitled to and, more importantly, what percentage of the pool's two tokens you'd receive back if you withdrew — since a liquidity pool position is really a proportional claim on the pool's reserves, not a fixed amount of any one token.
Why does the calculator assume daily volume is 10% of TVL?
This is a simplifying placeholder assumption used to produce an illustrative fee-income estimate, not a universal rule — actual daily trading volume relative to a pool's total value locked varies enormously by token pair, pool popularity, and market volatility, from well under 1% for a quiet pair to several multiples of TVL for a highly active one. Check the real pool's actual recent volume on a DeFi analytics site rather than relying on this assumption for a real investment decision.
Does this calculator account for impermanent loss?
No — impermanent loss is the separate risk that comes from the relative price of your two deposited tokens changing while your funds sit in the pool, which can leave your withdrawn value worth less than simply holding the same two tokens outside the pool, and it's often the single biggest risk factor in liquidity provision. This calculator estimates fee income alone; a full return estimate would need to net that fee income against any impermanent loss incurred.
Why does my deposit split evenly between Token A and Token B?
Standard AMM pools like the classic Uniswap V2 model require liquidity providers to deposit both tokens in a ratio matching the pool's current price, which for a 50/50-weighted pool means half your deposit's dollar value goes to each token. Some newer AMM designs support unequal weightings or concentrated liquidity ranges, which this calculator's simple even split does not model.
How does Pool Fee affect my potential returns?
Pool Fee is the percentage the AMM charges traders on every swap, and most of that fee is distributed to liquidity providers in proportion to their Pool Share — a higher fee tier generally means more fee income per dollar of trading volume, but pools with higher fees can also attract less trading volume in the first place since swappers prefer cheaper venues, so a higher fee percentage doesn't automatically mean higher total earnings.
