How the calculation flows
A loss and the gain needed to recover from it are not symmetric: the larger the loss, the disproportionately larger the gain required to get back to even. Enter any loss percentage and the calculator returns the break-even gain and the multiple your remaining value must reach, alongside a reference table of common levels. It is a reminder of why protecting capital matters, not advice to act.
FAQ
Why does a 50% loss need a 100% gain?
Because the gain is measured against your reduced balance. Halving your money leaves you needing to double what remains just to return to the start.
Does this include trading fees?
No. Fees and spreads make the real recovery slightly harder than the arithmetic shown here.
