What percentage gain mathematically recovers an assumed drawdown?

Compare a percentage loss with the larger subsequent recovery percentage required to return to the original reference value.

Calculation and limitations

Formula: Required recovery percentage = 100 × drawdown percentage / (100 − drawdown percentage).

Limitations: This is arithmetic, not a prediction that recovery is achievable, likely or quick.
