    How Profit & Loss Calculation Works

    1

    Calculate Pip Movement

    Subtract entry from exit price (or vice versa for sells) and multiply by pip multiplier.

    2

    Determine Pip Value

    Pip value depends on your lot size. Standard lot = $10/pip for most USD pairs.

    3

    Multiply for P&L

    P/L = Pips × Pip Value × Lots. Simple math, powerful insight!

    Example Calculation

    Buy 1 lot EUR/USD at 1.0850, exit at 1.0900:

    Pips = (1.0900 - 1.0850) × 10,000 = 50 pips

    Pip Value = $10 per pip (standard lot)

    Profit = 50 × $10 = $500

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Forex P&L is calculated using the formula: P/L = (Exit Price - Entry Price) × Pip Value × Lot Size. For sell trades, reverse the price calculation. Our calculator does this automatically for any currency pair.
    Pip value is how much money you make or lose per pip movement. For most USD pairs, 1 pip = $10 per standard lot (100,000 units). JPY pairs and cross pairs have different pip values based on exchange rates.
    No, this calculator shows gross profit/loss before trading costs. Remember to subtract spread (typically 0.5-2 pips), commissions (if ECN account), and swap fees (for overnight positions) from your actual results.
    Unrealized P&L is the current profit/loss on open positions - it changes as prices move. Realized P&L is locked in when you close the trade. This calculator helps you plan both entry targets and exit scenarios.
    Use this calculator in reverse: enter your stop-loss price as the exit price to see your potential loss. Then ensure this loss amount doesn't exceed 1-2% of your account. This helps you determine proper position size.
