Risk disclaimer
Planning math only; not an expectation of actual price action.
Why compound instead of divide?
Weekly gains stack: at x% per week, n weeks give (1+x%)ⁿ. Solving for x uses a root, not plain division.
This makes the weekly requirement mathematically consistent.
How to use
- Enter the current price and the target.
- Enter the weeks you allow.
- Click Calculate for the total and weekly gains.
Formula
- Total = (target ÷ current − 1) × 100%
- Weekly = (target ÷ current)^(1/weeks) − 1
Example
100 to 115 in 4 weeks → total 15%, roughly 3.56% per week.
Farther targets or shorter time demand more per week.
FAQ
Can price really rise that steadily?
No — this averages the path; real markets move unevenly.
