Monthly Target Calculator

Reality-check your account-growth plan. Enter where you are, where you want to be, and how long you have — see what monthly % return you'd need. Often reveals that the "double my account in 6 months" plan requires 12% monthly returns (top 0.1% of traders).

Required monthly = (target/start)^(1/months) - 1
2x in 12 months = 5.95% monthly
2x in 6 months = 12.25% monthly (top 1%)
3x in 12 months = 9.59% monthly
