Risk/reward ratio calculator
Enter your entry, stop loss and take profit to see a trade's reward-to-risk ratio and the win rate you'd need to break even. Works for forex, crypto and shares. Free, no sign-up, nothing leaves your browser.
For a buy, the stop loss sits below the entry and the take profit above it. This is a calculator, not advice: trading can lose money.
What the risk/reward ratio tells you
It compares what you stand to make if the price reaches your take profit with what you stand to lose if it hits your stop loss. A ratio of 1:2 means you aim to make twice what you risk. It says nothing about how likely each outcome is.
Why the break-even win rate matters
The higher the reward compared with the risk, the fewer trades need to win to break even. At 1:1 you need to win half your trades; at 1:2, about one in three; at 1:3, one in four. That is before spreads, fees and slippage, which push the real figure higher.
