Recovery Calculator
Losses don't recover symmetrically. Drop 50% and you need a 100% pump just to get back to even — drop 80% and it's a 400% pump. Put in what you paid and what it's worth now, and see the real climb back.
Enter both prices to see your PnL and the climb back to even.
Why losses hurt more than they look
A percentage drop and the gain needed to undo it are not the same number. The deeper the hole, the more vertical the climb:
- Down 25% → need +33% to recover
- Down 50% → need +100%
- Down 75% → need +300%
- Down 90% → need +900%
Not financial advice — just arithmetic that doesn't care about your feelings.
