Slippage calculator
See how much slippage cost you on a crypto or forex trade: the gap between the price you expected and the price you got, as a percentage and in money, and whether it was inside your slippage tolerance. Free, no sign-up, nothing leaves your browser.
The starting numbers are only an example. Trading fees are on top of slippage. This is a calculator, not advice: crypto and currency prices can fall as well as rise.
Why slippage happens
Slippage is the difference between the price you expected when you placed a trade and the price you actually got. Prices can move in the moment between placing an order and it being filled, and in a thin market a large order can use up the best prices on offer and fill the rest at worse ones.
Ways to limit it
A limit order only fills at your price or better, though it may not fill at all. Many crypto apps also let you set a slippage tolerance, which cancels the trade if the price moves more than you allow. Splitting a large order into smaller ones can help too.
