How the Risk / Reward Ratio Calculator works
Formula
R:R = |reward_distance| / |risk_distance|, where risk = |entry - stop_loss| and reward = |entry - target|
Example
EURUSD BUY at 1.0850, SL at 1.0800 (50 pips risk), TP at 1.0950 (100 pips reward): R:R = 2.0
Inputs & units
Direction (BUY/SELL), entry price, stop loss, and one or more take-profit targets. Returns risk/reward ratio, r-multiple, and per-unit distances.
Supported formulas
Risk/reward mode only. Supports up to 10 take-profit targets simultaneously.
Limitations
Price-only calculation. Account size, position size, spread, fees, slippage, swap, and leverage are excluded.
Metadata source
Per-unit distances use tick/pip/point sizes from the instrument database when available.

Open toolFrequently asked questions
How is the risk/reward ratio calculated?
The calculator measures the distance from entry to stop loss (risk) and from entry to take profit (reward), then returns the ratio. It works for both BUY and SELL setups.
Can I check multiple take-profit targets?
Yes. The tool returns a ratio for each target level you provide.
