Kalshi slippage calculator

Estimate how much a worse fill changes your entry price, edge, and possible profit before you send a market order or cross a thin spread.

Kalshi slippage calculator quick answer: compare your expected entry price with the effective entry price you actually receive. The gap times contract count is the Slippage cost. If that cost eats the edge between your fair probability and the market price, the trade is probably not worth forcing.

Inputs

Cents you intended to pay
Average fill in cents
Each winning contract pays $1
Your estimate in percent
Manual estimate in dollars
Optional close price in cents
