# Why does the price input automatically round?

**When providing liquidity using Zebra v2, your input price will always round to the nearest** [**tick.**](https://support.uniswap.org/hc/en-us/articles/21069524840589)

&#x20;

This is because Zebra v2 divides prices up into intervals known as ticks.\ <br>

The size of tick spacing is relative to the fee tier. The tick spacing is double the size of the fee tier. For example, a tick for 0.30% fee tier pool will be 0.60% in size.

&#x20;

This spacing does not apply to the 0.01% fee tier. The 0.01% fee tier has a size of 0.01%.\ <br>

There is a tick for every price 1.0001n, where n is an integer. This is the number generally seen quoted on exchanges and data sources. This would be the price of 1 token relative to a single token of the other.\
**Here are the pricing formulas:**

**Here is an example of how the price is rounded to the nearest tick:**

A liquidity provider (LP) wishes to deposit into the ETH/USDC pool with:

* 0.30% fee tier
* price range of 1,000 to 5,000 USDC per ETH

\
The nearest low price tick for the $1000 would be 207240.\*

We then use the price1 formula from above to get USDC price of 1000.302013.

&#x20;

The nearest high price tick for the $5000 would be 191160.\*

We then use the price1 formula from above to get the USDC price of 4993.922001.

\
With these price inputs of 1,000 and 5,000, the liquidity positions price inputs will round to 1000.3 and 4,993.92 USDC per ETH.
