Pip Value Calculator
Translate a pip movement into an account-currency estimate before setting a 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 the result into the account currency when required
Pip value depends on the pair’s quote convention, position size and any conversion needed between quote and account currencies.
Fees, funding, spread, slippage, contract specifications and venue rules can change the realised result. Recheck those details before placing an order.
Inputs to check before calculating

- Enter values from the instrument and account you are evaluating.

Result: A planning estimate based only on the entered assumptions, not a trade recommendation.
Frequently asked questions
Is one pip worth the same amount for every currency pair?
No. Pair conventions, position size and currency conversion determine the value in the account currency.
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.
