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.
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.
Formula: Pip Value = (Pip Size ÷ Exchange Rate) × Lot Size
Standard lot (100,000 units):
Mini lot (10,000): Divide above by 10. Micro lot (1,000): Divide by 100.
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.
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.
