Calculators use standard forex formulas with reference rates for planning. They are educational and do not constitute trading advice. Always verify with your broker’s contract specifications.

How to use this calculator

Select the pair and buy or sell, then enter entry, exit, and lots. The result shows pip distance and an estimated cash P/L using a reference pip value.

Formula

Pips = (exit − entry) ÷ pip size for a buy, or (entry − exit) ÷ pip size for a sell. Profit or loss ≈ pips × pip value for the lot size.

Example calculation

Buying 0.10 lot EUR/USD at 1.0800 and exiting at 1.0830 is +30 pips. At about $1 per pip on a mini lot, that is roughly $30 before costs.

The figure does not subtract spread, commission, or swap. Use the Trading Cost Calculator if you want those costs in the same plan.

Does this include trading costs?
No. It estimates price movement only. Spread, commission, and overnight swap are separate and should be subtracted from this result.
Why can the cash amount differ from my platform?
Platforms use live quotes, exact contract sizes, and conversion rates. This tool uses reference rates for planning, not execution.
Can I use it for short trades?
Yes. Choose sell so the pip distance is measured from a short entry to the exit price.
