The Math Of Recovery

Back-to-Breakeven Calculator

Every loss sets a higher bar to climb back. This shows the exact gain you need to recover a drawdown, and why cutting small beats hoping through big.

Your Drawdown

%
The percentage your account is below where it started.

Your Climb Back

Enter how far your account is down to see the gain you need to get back to breakeven.

The best recovery is the one you never needed. Cutting a loss at 10% asks for an 11% gain to heal. Letting it run to 50% asks for 100%. Discipline on the way down is worth more than brilliance on the way back.
