Calculators

Four calculators that do arithmetic on the numbers you type, and nothing else. Every field starts empty, no value is filled in or suggested for you, and each result is printed with the formula that produced it so you can check the number by hand.

Position size

Position size is the number of lots implied by the risk amount and the stop distance you entered.

Position size inputs

The value of one pip for one lot. The pip value calculator below produces this number.

Position size—lots

Formulalots = risk amount ÷ (stop distance in pips × pip value per lot)

Pip value

Pip value is what a one-pip move is worth on the lot size you entered, in your account currency.

Pip value inputs

Rate that converts the quote currency into your account currency. It is 1 when they are the same currency.

Pip value—account currency per pip

Formulapip value = lots × contract size × pip size × quote-to-account rate

Margin required

Margin required is the notional value of the position divided by the leverage you entered, converted to your account currency.

Margin required inputs

One standard lot is usually 100,000 units.

Rate that converts the quote currency into your account currency. It is 1 when they are the same currency.

Margin required—account currency

Formulamargin = (units × price ÷ leverage) × quote-to-account rate

Profit or loss

Profit or loss is the price difference multiplied by the units you entered, converted to your account currency.

Direction
Profit or loss inputs

One standard lot is usually 100,000 units.

Rate that converts the quote currency into your account currency. It is 1 when they are the same currency.

Profit or loss—account currency

Formulalong: profit/loss = (exit − entry) × units × quote-to-account rate

Formulashort: profit/loss = (entry − exit) × units × quote-to-account rate

These are arithmetic tools. They work only on the numbers you enter, and they take no account of spreads, commissions, financing or swap charges, slippage, or price gaps — a real trade is settled at prices these formulas never see. Nothing here is a recommendation to trade, and a result is the output of the formula shown beneath it rather than a judgement about any position.

Placeholder text inside an empty field shows the format of the number expected, never a value to use.
