About This Calculator

Risk/reward ratio compares how much you stand to gain versus how much you stand to lose on a trade. A 3:1 risk/reward ratio means you risk $1 to potentially make $3. Disciplined traders often require minimum 2:1 or 3:1 ratios before entering a position, regardless of how confident they feel.

Estimates only — not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. Verify important results with a qualified professional before making decisions.

R:R ratio = (target − entry) ÷ (entry − stop); dollar gain = gain per share × shares; dollar risk = loss per share × shares
