How this is calculated
This divides your entered average trading profit by total combined monthly income. Averaging smooths out month-to-month swings, but trading income does not arrive on a fixed schedule the way a paycheck does.
Higher reliance percentages mean more of your household's regular expenses depend on income that is inherently inconsistent from one month to the next.
This is informational only. It does not tell you what percentage is appropriate for you, that depends on your own expenses, savings, and risk tolerance.
If you entered a net loss, trading is currently reducing household income rather than contributing to it, which is worth factoring into how much capital and time you allocate to it.
Risk & liability disclaimer: This calculator performs simple arithmetic on the income figures you enter and does not access your actual accounts or tax records. It does not tell you how much to trade or how much income to rely on from trading. This is not financial or tax advice. Trading involves risk of loss, and past trading profit is not a guarantee of future income. Trading Habits is not a broker-dealer, registered investment adviser, or tax professional.
Income From Trading Is Not Income Like a Paycheck
