Concentrated Liquidity Tick Ranges and Fee APR: A Practical Guide

A clear, data-driven guide to concentrated liquidity tick ranges and fee apr.

Ticks

Uniswap v3 divides price into ticks where price = 1.0001^tick, so each tick is a 0.01 percent move. Pools use tick spacing of 1, 10, 60 or 200 for fee tiers of 0.01, 0.05, 0.30 and 1 percent.

Capital efficiency

Liquidity within [Pa, Pb] behaves like a v2 position of larger size. Efficiency relative to full range is about 1 ÷ (1 − (Pa/Pb)^0.25). A range of $2,500–$3,500 around $3,000 yields roughly 12×.

Out of range

When price exits the range, the position becomes 100 percent of one asset and earns nothing. Active LPs rebalance, paying gas and swap costs, while passive LPs use wide ranges.

Estimating fee APR

Fee APR ≈ pool volume × fee tier × your share of in-range liquidity ÷ your capital × 365. Data dashboards such as Revert Finance show realized fees and IL per position.

Choosing ranges

Wider ranges lower fee concentration but reduce rebalancing; volatility-based ranges, such as ±1 standard deviation of 30-day moves, are a common starting point.

By the numbers

For Concentrated Liquidity Tick Ranges and Fee APR, the reference figures are topic of Concentrated Liquidity Tick Ranges and Fee APR, level of Intermediate, updated of 2026. The comparison table below lines up range around $3,000, efficiency vs full range — $2,000–$4,500: ~5×; $2,500–$3,500: ~12×; $2,850–$3,150: ~40×.

Modeling Concentrated Liquidity Tick Ranges and Fee APR with the Concentrated Liquidity CLMM Range Calculator

The Concentrated Liquidity CLMM Range Calculator takes three inputs — Lower price ($), Upper price ($), Current ($). Capital efficiency ≈ 1 ÷ (1 − (Pa/Pb)^¼). With its default inputs (Lower price ($) = 2500; Upper price ($) = 3500; Current ($) = 3000) it returns 12.4 x; swap in the figures from Concentrated Liquidity Tick Ranges and Fee APR above to reproduce the scenario yourself.

Modeling Concentrated Liquidity Tick Ranges and Fee APR with the AMM Impermanent Loss Calculator

The AMM Impermanent Loss Calculator takes three inputs — Price ratio change (x), Deposit ($), Fee APR (%). IL = 2√r ÷ (1 + r) − 1. With its default inputs (Price ratio change (x) = 2; Deposit ($) = 10000; Fee APR (%) = 20) it returns -5.72 %; swap in the figures from Concentrated Liquidity Tick Ranges and Fee APR above to reproduce the scenario yourself.
