What is the Pip Value Calculator?

The Pip Value Calculator is a costing tool that tells you what a one-pip move is worth in US dollars on a given position. It answers the everyday question: if price moves one pip in my favour or against me, how much money is that on this trade size?

How to use it

  1. Enter the currency pair you're trading.
  2. Enter your position size in lots (or units).
  3. If the quote currency isn't USD, enter the relevant exchange rate so the value can be converted.
  4. Read the highlighted pip value — the dollar change in your position's value for each one-pip move.

How it's calculated

Pip value = (one pip ÷ exchange rate) × position size in units. For a pair quoted in USD, one standard lot (100,000 units) with a pip of 0.0001 is worth $10 per pip; a mini lot $1; a micro lot $0.10. When the quote currency is not USD, the raw pip value is divided by the USD conversion rate.

Frequently asked

How much is one pip worth?

For a USD-quoted pair, roughly $10 per pip on a standard lot, $1 on a mini lot and $0.10 on a micro lot. This forex pip calculator adjusts that figure for your exact lot size and, where needed, the quote-currency exchange rate.

What is a pip in forex?

A pip is the standard smallest price increment for most pairs — the fourth decimal place (0.0001), or the second decimal (0.01) for JPY pairs. Pip value converts that price move into money for your specific position.

Why does pip value change between pairs?

Because pip value depends on the quote currency and the current exchange rate used to convert back to USD. Pairs not quoted in USD need a conversion, so their pip value shifts as that rate moves.

Keep in mind: This is the value of a single pip at the moment's exchange rate only — it does not include spread, commission, swap, or slippage, and the converted value changes as the underlying exchange rate moves.
