Drawdown Recovery and Compounding Calculator

Losses and gains are not symmetric: a 50% drawdown needs a 100% gain to recover. This calculator shows the recovery gain, the years to recover at an assumed return, and compound growth.

Formula

Worked example

30% drawdown needs +42.86%; at 15% a year that takes about 2.55 years.
