Forex Risk/Reward Calculator

FOREX · RISK/REWARD · PIP-BASED RATIO

Risk and reward distance in pips from entry/stop/target, and the resulting ratio: a raw number, not a verdict.

Risk/reward, measured in pips

Risk/reward compares how much you stand to lose against how much you stand to gain, in pip terms, so it works the same way regardless of pair or position size. This tool returns the raw ratio, not a verdict on whether the trade is worth taking.

The formula

  • Risk (pips) = |entry − stop| ÷ pip size
  • Reward (pips) = |target − entry| ÷ pip size
  • Ratio = reward ÷ risk

Worked example

Long EUR/USD, entry 1.1000, stop 1.0950, target 1.1150:

  • risk = |1.1000 − 1.0950| ÷ 0.0001 = 50 pips
  • reward = |1.1150 − 1.1000| ÷ 0.0001 = 150 pips
  • ratio = 150 ÷ 50 = 3:1

Where to go next

Want your actual breakeven before this ratio matters? Check the Breakeven Calculator first, or run the Scenario Calculator to see P&L across a range of exits. Once the ratio checks out, size the position with the Position Size Calculator.

FAQ
Q.01

Why does this show a raw ratio instead of "take it" or "skip it"?

A risk/reward ratio alone doesn't tell you whether a trade has edge: that also depends on your actual win rate, which this calculator has no way to know. It gives you the honest number so you can weigh it yourself.

Q.02

What does "n/a" mean for the ratio?

It means your stop is set exactly at your entry price, so there's no risk distance to divide by. Move your stop to get a real ratio.

Q.03

Does position size affect the ratio?

No. The ratio is purely a function of price distances (entry to stop, entry to target), so it's the same whether you trade 1 unit or 100 standard lots.

Q.04

Why measure in pips instead of dollars?

Pips make the ratio comparable across different pairs and position sizes without needing to know position size at all. If you want the dollar risk/reward for a specific position size, pair this with the PnL Calculator.
