Drawdown Calculator measures the decline from a peak to a trough as a percentage, and the gain needed to recover — a fundamental risk metric for investing and trading that returns alone don't reveal.
Drawdown is (peak − trough) ÷ peak × 100, so a fall from $100k to $70k is a 30% drawdown, and maximum drawdown (the worst such drop over a period) captures how much pain a strategy can inflict — something average returns conveniently hide.
The most important lesson it teaches is the asymmetry of recovery: a 50% loss requires a 100% gain to get back to even, not 50%, because you're rebuilding from a smaller base. The deeper the drawdown, the disproportionately harder the climb back — which is exactly why limiting drawdowns matters more than chasing extra gains, and why deep losses are so damaging both mathematically and psychologically.
That makes max drawdown a key risk gauge: two strategies with equal average returns can differ wildly in worst-case pain, and a severe drawdown tests nerve (many sell at the bottom). Prevention — via diversification and position sizing — beats recovery. It's informational, not financial advice, and runs in your browser. Pair it with the Risk-Reward and Position Size calculators.
Recovery needs more than the loss: a 50% drop requires a 100% gain to get back — limit drawdowns
Judge strategies by max drawdown, not just average return — it reveals worst-case risk
Diversification and position sizing prevent deep drawdowns; prevention beats recovery
