Financial Calculators

Use these calculators to project the future value of an investment with regular contributions and to size positions by risk %. Values are indicative; verify with your provider.

Investment Growth (Future Value)

Future value: —
Total contributed: — · Total invested: — · Total growth: —
Effective CAGR (proxy): —
Uses effective compounding: rperiod = (1+R)1/m − 1, where R is annual return and m is periods/year. Formula: FV = PV·(1+r)n + C·[(1+r)n − 1]/r · (1+r)timing, timing=1 for “begin” else 0.

Position Size (Risk % + Leverage Check)

Stop distance: — pips
Recommended size: — lots (≈ — units)
Total Position Value ≈ — · Required margin ≈ — · Check: —
Pip value/lot is auto-estimated as (pipSize × contract) / entry. For JPY pairs set pipSize=0.01. Leverage doesn’t change risk %, but limits max notional (margin check included).
