Pip Value Calculator — Forex Pip Calculator for All Pairs
Pip value is the money gained or lost for a one-pip price movement at a specified position size. It depends on pip size, contract units and the conversion from quote currency into account currency. For a fixed EUR/GBP quantity, USD pip value depends on GBP-to-USD conversion, not directly on the EUR/GBP price. The calculator requires quote units per USD, so do not enter GBP/USD in the opposite direction. Presets are examples, not live quotes. Gold uses a separate assumed contract size of 100 ounces.

Why Use the Pip Value Calculator?
Pip value is the money gained or lost for a one-pip price movement at a specified position size. It depends on pip size, contract units and the conversion from quote currency into account currency. Compare the displayed result with the worked example and confirm the assumptions before using it.
Formula Used
USD pip value = pip size × contract units / quote-currency units per USDWorked Example
One standard EUR/USD lot gives 0.0001 × 100,000 = $10 per pip. At a hypothetical USD/JPY rate of 150, one standard USD/JPY or EUR/JPY lot gives 0.01 × 100,000 / 150 = $6.6667 per pip. For EUR/GBP, a hypothetical 0.80 GBP per USD gives 10 / 0.80 = $12.50 per pip.
