How the calculation works

After a drawdown d, the required gain is one divided by one minus d, minus one. Recovery time uses compound growth at the entered annual return.

Set realistic recovery expectations after a portfolio decline without forecasting future returns.

Important financial information

This calculator provides an educational estimate from the values you enter. It does not use live prices, predict returns or provide investment, tax or legal advice. Verify exchange rules, fees, rates and product terms before making a financial decision.

Private, fast and mobile-ready

The workspace runs with browser JavaScript and does not submit entered values to a Rantey calculation endpoint. Controls use readable labels, large touch targets and responsive result panels for narrow screens.
