Pip value calculator
A pip is the standard unit of price movement. This calculator shows exactly how much one pip is worth for your position — per lot and for your chosen lot size — in your own account currency.
Contract size · Pip size
These are typical standard values — they vary by broker and instrument, so confirm and adjust them to match your own account.

How to use it
- 1 Pick your instrument (or enter your broker's contract size and pip size).
- 2 Choose your account currency; if it differs from the instrument's quote currency, enter the exchange rate.
- 3 Enter your lot size.
- 4 Read the pip value per lot and the total for your position.
How the pip value is calculated
Pip value (in the quote currency) = pip size × contract size, then converted to your account currency at the rate you provide. For a standard lot of EUR/USD, that is 0.0001 × 100,000 = 10 USD per pip.
Frequently asked questions
What is a pip?
A pip is the smallest standard price increment for an instrument — 0.0001 for most currency pairs, and 0.01 for pairs quoted in Japanese yen. For metals, indices and energy the increment is usually called a point.
How much is one pip worth?
For one standard lot (100,000 units) of a pair quoted in your account currency, one pip is worth about 10 units of that currency. The exact value depends on the contract size, the pip size and your account currency — this calculator does the conversion for you.
Why does the value change with my account currency?
Your profit and loss accrue in the instrument's quote currency. If that differs from your account currency, the amount is converted at the current exchange rate, which changes the value you actually see in your account.
