Risk / Reward Calculator. Know the numbers before the trade.

R:R ratio, dollar reward vs dollar risk, and the win rate you need just to break even at this ratio.

Direction

1–2% is the common guideline.

Advanced: maintenance margin, buffer, margin mode

Extra distance demanded between stop and liquidation.

Margin mode

Estimates assume isolated margin. Cross margin liquidates later but risks the whole balance.

Formulas used
  • Risk amount = balance × risk%
  • Quantity = risk amount ÷ |entry − stop|
  • Notional = quantity × entry · Margin = notional ÷ leverage
  • Net PnL = direction × (exit − entry) × qty − fees(in + out)
  • Liq (long) ≈ entry × (1 − 1/lev + maint% + fee%)
  • Safe lev = 1 ÷ (stop% + buffer% + maint% + fee%)
  • Breakeven win rate = 1 ÷ (1 + R:R)
FAQ

Straight answers, no hedging.

What is a good risk/reward ratio?

Below 1:1 you need to win more often than you lose just to break even. 1.5:1 is workable, 2:1 is strong, 3:1 is excellent — at 3:1 you break even winning only 25% of trades. Ratio quality means nothing without honest stop placement.

What is breakeven win rate?

The win percentage at which your wins exactly pay for your losses at a given R:R — computed as 1 ÷ (1 + R:R). Your actual win rate must beat it (after fees) for the approach to make money.

Is this exact for Binance, Bybit, OKX, or Bitget?

No calculator outside the exchange can be exact. Liquidation and margin depend on the venue's maintenance-margin tiers, margin mode, funding, fees, and any position changes. These figures are close estimates for isolated USDT linear perpetuals — always confirm on your exchange before trading.

Does this calculator give trading advice?

No. Every output is general market and risk education — not financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation to trade. What you do with the numbers is your decision and your responsibility.
