Intro

Use this trade exit calculator to estimate a target exit price from a purchase price and a small percentage gain.

What this calculator does

The calculator adds the selected percentage gain to the purchase price, then shows the target exit price and profit per unit. It includes quick percentage levels from the original trading helper plus a custom percentage option.

How it works

Exit price is purchase price x (1 + percentage / 100). Profit per unit is exit price - purchase price.

Example calculation

With a purchase price of 245.50 and a 1.2% target, the exit price is about 248.45. The profit per unit is about 2.95 before trading costs.

How to use the result

Use the target as a quick reference when comparing possible exits. Real results can differ because brokers may apply fees, bid/ask spread, slippage, taxes, and currency conversion. This is not financial advice.

Assumptions and limitations

  • The calculator assumes the percentage is a gain above the purchase price.
  • It calculates per-unit profit only, not total trade profit across a position size.
  • It excludes fees, spread, slippage, tax, currency conversion, and partial fills.

FAQs

  • The quick buttons use small percentage gains such as 1%, 1.15%, 1.3%, and 2%, or you can enter a custom target gain.
  • If you need total profit, multiply the profit per unit by your quantity or use the stock profit/loss calculator.
  • The result is a target price estimate, not a prediction that the market will reach that price.
