The question is never "how much can I buy?" It's "how much can I afford to be wrong about?"
This tool sizes your position so that hitting your stop-loss costs exactly what you decided to risk. Nothing more.

Decide first how many dollars you're willing to lose if the trade fails: portfolio times risk percent. Your stop distance is the gap between entry and stop-loss. Position size is simply risk dollars divided by that gap, expressed as a percentage of entry. A tight stop lets you take a bigger position for the same risk; a wide stop forces a smaller one. Either way, being wrong costs the same affordable amount.
This is the discipline that keeps traders alive long enough to get good. If the calculator says the position exceeds your portfolio, the trade doesn't fit your risk budget. Skip it or widen nothing: shrink the risk instead. More in Trading & Market Analysis.
