Risk Reward Ratio Calculator (with Break-Even Win Rate)

Set the entry, the stop-loss and the target. The calculator shows how much you stand to win for each unit you risk and how often you need to be right. Runs in your browser.

Find the stop-loss and take-profit prices (with leverage)

Choose how much of your margin you accept to lose and the reward-to-risk ratio. The entry, side and fee come from the fields above.

Leverage (x) Loss at stop (% of margin) Reward ÷ risk

This stop is at or beyond the approximate isolated liquidation price (0.5% maintenance margin); the position could be liquidated first.

Enter positive numbers. The fees must be smaller than the loss you allow.

Formula

Risk = |entry − stop| Reward = |target − entry| Reward : risk (R) = reward ÷ risk Break-even win rate = 1 ÷ (1 + R) With fees: cost per unit = entry × fee + exit × fee; R = (reward − cost at target) ÷ (risk + cost at stop)

A 1 : 2 trade (risk 1 to make 2) breaks even if one trade in three wins. Fees shrink the reward and enlarge the risk, so the ratio after fees is always a little worse.

Stop distance = loss % ÷ leverage − 2 × fee Take-profit distance = reward ÷ risk × loss % ÷ leverage + 2 × fee Long: stop = entry × (1 − stop distance), take profit = entry × (1 + take-profit distance) Short: stop = entry × (1 + stop distance), take profit = entry × (1 − take-profit distance)

Fees count toward the loss, so with higher leverage the stop sits closer to entry. The exit fee is approximated at the entry price, and slippage on a market stop is not included.

Examples: long from 150, fee 0.05% per fill

Stop / target	R	Win rate needed	R after fees
147 / 156	1 : 2.00	33.3%	1 : 1.86
144 / 162	1 : 2.00	33.3%	1 : 1.93
144 / 165	1 : 2.50	28.6%	1 : 2.41
141 / 171	1 : 2.33	30.0%	1 : 2.28

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate the risk reward ratio?

Divide the distance from entry to target by the distance from entry to stop. Entry 150, stop 144 and target 165 give 15 ÷ 6 = 2.5, written 1 : 2.5.

What win rate do I need for a given ratio?

Break-even win rate = 1 ÷ (1 + R). At 1 : 1 you need 50%, at 1 : 2 about 33.3%, at 1 : 3 25%, before fees.

Is a higher risk reward ratio always better?

Not by itself. A distant target is reached less often, so the ratio only helps together with a realistic chance of the target being hit.

How do I calculate a stop-loss price with leverage?

Divide the share of margin you accept to lose by the leverage, subtract the round-trip fee, and move that far from entry. At 5x with 10% of margin at risk and 0.05% fees, a long at 150 stops at about 147.15.

Why can my stop be beyond the liquidation price?

At high leverage the liquidation price is close to entry. If the stop is farther away, the exchange liquidates the position before the stop triggers; the calculator warns when that may happen.
