# How to change slippage

Price slippage refers to latency-induced price fluctuations, resulting from market dynamics between the moment in which you submit the transaction and the time which the swap is executed. \
\
By default, the cap on price slippage is set to 0.5% on Penguinswap. \
\
This means that with a slippage of 0.5%, you could receive up to 0.5% fewer tokens than expected on the preview swap screen depending on market conditions. \
\
Note that you can opt to change this value by clicking on the cog in the upper right-hand corner.

Then you may toggle from 'Auto' to 'Custom' to select a desired max slippage value.&#x20;

The maximum slippage will now be reflected on the Swap screen.&#x20;
