The pip value formula
Pip value = pip size × contract size × lots
Pairs ending in USD (EURUSD, GBPUSD): the result is already in dollars. $10 per standard lot.
Pairs starting with USD (USDJPY, USDCAD): divide by the price. At 150.00, one USDJPY pip is 1,000 ÷ 150 = $6.67 per lot.
Crosses (EURGBP, GBPJPY): multiply by the quote currency's USD rate.
Turn pips into position size
Once you know the pip value, sizing is simple: lots = money at risk ÷ (stop in pips × pip value per lot). Our lot size calculator does it for you, and the risk-reward calculator shows the win rate your target needs.
Questions traders ask
What is a pip?
A pip is the standard price step for a market. For most forex pairs it is 0.0001; for yen pairs it is 0.01. On gold many brokers count 0.10 as a pip, and on indices traders usually count 1 point.

How do you calculate pip value?
Pip value = pip size × contract size × lots, in the quote currency. If the quote currency isn't your account currency, convert it: divide by the price for USD-base pairs like USDJPY, or multiply by the quote-to-USD rate for crosses like EURGBP.
What is a pip worth on gold (XAUUSD)?
With 1 lot = 100 ounces, a $0.10 move (one pip on most brokers) is worth $10 and a $1 move is worth $100. Some brokers count $0.01 as a pip, so check your platform's specification.
Why does my broker show a different pip value?
Contract sizes, pip definitions and live exchange rates differ between brokers. Use this as a quick guide and confirm with your broker's contract specification.
