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.
