MEV Loss Calculator

Every trade pays MEV. Quantify what it costs you annually.

Based on historical slip patterns across tier-1 protocols. Free. No signup.

Example: $10M annual volume across all venues

MEV % based on typical swap slippage, sandwich, and liquidation patterns

Splitting routes across venues can reduce MEV exposure by 30-50%

Want to reduce this cost? We help protocols implement deterministic routing to cut MEV exposure in half.

How This Works

MEV exposure varies by trading profile:

  • Aggressive traders (frequent, large orders): 12–18% annual MEV loss via sandwich attacks, frontrunning, liquidation triggers
  • Moderate traders (regular volume, mixed sizing): 8–12% annual MEV loss via slip and route inefficiency
  • Conservative traders (infrequent, sized for markets): 3–7% annual MEV loss via light slip and passive exposure

Route splitting can reduce your exposure by 30–50% by distributing trades across independent venues and preventing pooling of your order flow into single-venue attacks.

What's MEV?

Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) is the profit from reordering, inserting, or censoring transactions. Traders and protocols pay MEV whenever their orders hit a public mempool without deterministic ordering or intent-based settlement.
