# Get user earnings

Developers > Best Yield > Get user earnings

Tracking earnings on Idle is easy, you just need the avg buy price of the IdleTokens, the amount of IdleTokens held by a user and the current price.

IdleToken contract saves and updates the `userAvgPrices` mapping which contains the avg price paid for each IdleToken of a user, so to calculate earnings (in underlying) one can do the following:

```javascript
address user = <address_of_user>;
IIdleToken idleDAI = IIdleToken(<address_idle_token>);
uint256 userBalance = idleDAI.balanceOf(user);
uint256 avgCost = userBalance.times(idleDAI.userAvgPrices(user)).div(10**18);
uint256 currentValue = userBalance.times(idleDAI.tokenPriceWithFee()).div(10**18);
uint256 earnings = currentValue.minus(avgCost);
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: `tokenPriceWithFee` is available only for IdleToken of the Best yield strategy. For the Risk adjusted strategy fee must be accounted on the integrators side or by using [this helper](https://etherscan.io/address/0x04Ce60ed10F6D2CfF3AA015fc7b950D13c113be5#code).\

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.idle.finance/developers/best-yield/get-user-earnings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
