About this calculator

The risk-reward ratio of a trade compares potential loss to potential gain: Risk = Entry Price - Stop Loss, Reward = Take Profit - Entry Price, and the ratio is expressed as Risk to Reward (for example, 1:3 means risking 1 dollar to potentially make 3 dollars). From that ratio you can also derive the break-even win rate — the minimum percentage of trades that need to win for the strategy to not lose money over time: Break-even Win Rate = Risk divided by (Risk + Reward).

Crypto traders lean on this ratio more than in most markets because of how volatile and thinly-traded many tokens are — a common guideline is not entering a trade unless the reward is at least 2-3x the risk, since that cushions a strategy against a losing streak that any high-volatility asset can produce. Knowing the break-even win rate up front also reframes the question from whether a single trade will work to how often a setup needs to be right to be profitable overall — a much more answerable question based on a trader’s historical hit rate.

This calculator takes your entry, stop loss and take profit levels and returns the risk-reward ratio, potential cash profit and loss, and the break-even win rate.
