Your investment has lost 0%
It needs to gain 0% to recover to your original investment amount
Original value: $10,000
Value after loss: $10,000
Recovery target value: $10,000
When an investment loses a certain percentage of its value, it requires a larger percentage gain to return to its original value. This is because the percent recovery is calculated from the lower post-loss value.
For example, if a $10,000 investment loses 50% of its value (dropping to $5,000), it needs a 100% gain ($5,000) to recover back to $10,000.
Formula: Percent Recovery = (Loss % ÷ (100% - Loss %)) × 100%
