Free pip value calculator for forex traders

Knowing the exact value of a pip is essential for calculating profit/loss, setting proper stop losses, and determining position sizes in forex trading. This calculator gives you pip values for any currency pair and lot size instantly.

How to use this calculator

Step 1: Select your currency pair. Step 2: Enter your position size (in lots or units). Step 3: The calculator shows the pip value in your account currency.

Pip Value Calculator

Formula: Pip Value = (Pip Size ÷ Exchange Rate) × Lot Size

Standard lot (100,000 units):

EUR/USD: 1 pip = $10.00
GBP/USD: 1 pip = $10.00
USD/JPY: 1 pip ≈ $6.67 (varies with rate)
USD/CHF: 1 pip ≈ $11.24 (varies with rate)

Mini lot (10,000): Divide above by 10. Micro lot (1,000): Divide by 100.

Why pip value matters

If your stop loss is 30 pips and you trade 1 standard lot of EUR/USD, your risk is 30 × $10 = $300. On a $10,000 account with 1% risk ($100), you would need to trade about 0.33 standard lots (or 3.3 mini lots) to keep your risk at $100. Without calculating pip value, you cannot accurately determine position size or risk.

Pip value for cross pairs

For currency pairs where your account currency is not involved (e.g., trading EUR/GBP with a USD account), the pip value must be converted through the current exchange rate of the quote currency against your account currency. This extra step is why a pip calculator is so valuable — it handles these conversions automatically.
