How is slippage calculated?
The result is calculated using the following formula:
Slippage % = (Executed − Expected) / Expected × 100 Slippage Amount = |Executed − Expected| × Qty
- The percentage is the price move from quote to fill; + means the fill was above the quote
- Buy: a higher fill is a cost; a lower fill is a saving
- Sell: a lower fill is a cost; a higher fill is a saving
- Order type is informational — this page measures realized slippage, not predicted market impact
- Fee floor: Break-even Calculator. Round-trip: Profit Calculator.
Example Calculation
Buy 1 unit, quote ₹100, fill ₹100.20:
- 1. Slippage % = (100.20 − 100) / 100 × 100 = +0.20%
- 2. Expected trade value = ₹100; actual = ₹100.20
- 3. Worse fill for a buy → slippage cost = ₹0.20
- 4. The same fill on a sell is a better-than-quote exit (savings)
Selecting a coin presets executed 0.2% above LTP so you can edit toward the fill you actually got.
Frequently Asked Questions
View all →Slippage is the gap between the price you expected or were quoted and the average price you actually got. This calculator measures that realized difference — it does not predict how much the next order will slip.
The book moves between click and fill: thin size at the quote, other takers racing you, index jumps on news, and exchange matching delays. Market orders walk the ladder; even limits can miss and reprice. Perps add mark-price noise on top of the last trade.
Paying more than quoted is worse on a buy and better on a sell. Selling below the quote is worse; selling above it is a better fill. The percentage is still (executed − expected) / expected; Buy vs Sell only changes whether that move helped or hurt the trade.
Slippage % = (Actual executed price − Expected price) / Expected price × 100. A buy at ₹100.20 instead of ₹100 is +0.20% and a worse fill. The same +0.20% on a sell is a better fill. Trade value impact is that gap multiplied by quantity.
Markets guarantee a fill, not a price — slippage is the cost of urgency. Limits cap price and risk not filling. The order-type toggle on this page is informational; the math only needs quoted vs executed. A limit that never fills has infinite opportunity cost, which we do not model.
No. Fees are charged by the exchange on the fill. Slippage is the price you received versus the price you expected. You can pay a fee on a perfect fill, or slip with zero extra fee. Use a fee calculator for the commission; use this page for the quote-to-fill gap.
Split the clip, use limits, avoid funding/expiry stamps, and prefer the deepest venue for that pair. If the pair only lives on one thin book, the honest answer is to trade less size — this calculator will show why a 1% walk wrecks a 0.4% thesis.
On a deep BTC book, often neither. On alts, futures can look tighter until liquidation cascades wipe a whole level. Spot on a small exchange can be worse than a major perp. Measure the fill you actually got; do not assume the venue type saved you.
