Pip Value Calculator
Read the estimated value of a one-pip move in USD before choosing position size or stop distance.
USD is the quote currency: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD. No pair rate is required.
How the calculator works
pip value = pip size × position units
convert quote currency into USD when required
Enter USD per 1 unit of quote currency. For EUR/GBP use GBP/USD; for GBP/JPY use JPY/USD = 1 / USDJPY.
Fees, funding, spread, slippage, contract specifications and venue rules can change the realised result. Recheck those details before placing an order.

Frequently asked questions
Is one pip worth the same amount for every currency pair?
No. The pair’s pip convention, position size and conversion rate determine the pip value. This calculator expresses the result in USD.
Does the calculator place or recommend a trade?
No. It performs a planning calculation from the values you enter. It does not connect to an account, execute an order or provide personalised advice.
Calculator results are estimates for planning and education. Verify contract specifications, fees and rules with your broker or exchange.
