Grid Compound Calculator
Direct answer
The Grid Compound Calculator projects reinvesting each round's profit over time: enter starting capital, return per round, rounds per month and months to get total rounds, compounded final value and total profit against a simple-interest baseline.
The Grid Compound Calculator projects the effect of reinvesting each round's profit: enter starting capital, return per round, rounds per month and months to see total rounds, compounded final value and total profit — side by side with a non-compounded (simple-interest) baseline.
Compounding cuts both ways: it accelerates with positive returns, but unstable or negative rounds will drag the real curve below the ideal model. Treat the output as a scenario, not a plan.

What is the Grid Compound Calculator?
Ordinary grids often withdraw profits; a compounding grid adds realized profit back into the position so per-grid capital grows with total equity.
This tool shows the long-run magnification of that mechanism under fixed rate and frequency, with a simple-interest baseline to make the difference understandable.
How to use it
- Enter the starting capital.
- Enter the net return per round (e.g., 0.5%, approximated from single-grid net ÷ per-grid capital).
- Enter rounds per month and the number of months.
- Click Calculate and compare the compounded vs simple-interest ending values.
Formulas
Final = C × (1 + r) ^ (Months × RoundsPerMonth)
r = return per round; C = starting capital.
Worked example
1000 USDT at 0.5% per round, 2 rounds a month for 12 months: 24 rounds total, compounded ending value ≈ 1127 USDT (≈127 profit) versus ≈1120 USDT simple-interest.
The gap looks modest here, but it widens sharply at higher rates and longer periods — e.g., 1% per round, 4 rounds a month over 24 months.
Practical tips
- Use conservative rate and frequency. Model with below-average per-round returns to avoid being misled by the ideal curve.
- Solve the losing case before compounding. Losing rounds shrink the base; the ideal model excludes them, so always layer risk scenarios on top.
FAQ
Why is my live curve always below the model?
The model assumes a fixed positive per-round rate, every round fills and no cost drag. Live losing rounds, slippage and unfilled levels all lower real growth.
What per-round rate should I use?
Get the net rate from the single-grid calculator, then discount it (e.g., 50%) based on fill history — closer to reality than the raw theoretical value.
How often should I reinvest?
It depends on whether your grid needs more capital per grid. A common approach is to fold realized profit in when it matches per-grid capital, avoiding constant order edits.
