Risk ⇄ Reward Calculator
Enter your stop and target distances (or prices) to get the R:R ratio and the breakeven win rate you’d need to break even over time.
Inputs & Results
How far to your stop from entry (pts, ₹, $, ticks).
How far to your target from entry (same units as risk).
Ratio is Reward ÷ Risk. Example: 2.00 : 1 means your target is 2× your stop.
Minimum win rate to break even if average win is R× average loss (same R as the ratio).
Expectancy frameworks combine win rate and payoff size. Breakeven win-rate here is derived from the standard expectancy identity by setting expected value to zero and assuming average win equals R× average loss.
What this tells you
The risk–reward (R:R) ratio compares how far you’re risking to how far you aim to gain. For example, an R:R of 2:1 means your target is twice as far as your stop. The breakeven win rate is an immediate sanity check for your system’s hit rate vs. its R:R.
Rule of thumb: higher R:R allows a lower win rate and still breakeven, while low R:R requires a higher win rate. Use this tool to stress-test setups before you risk capital.
