How it works

A pip is the standard unit used to measure price movement. For most pairs it is the fourth decimal place (0.0001); for pairs quoted in Japanese yen it is the second (0.01). What a pip is worth depends on the pair, your position size, and your account currency.

The pip value is first worked out in the pair's quote currency — pip size × units traded — and then converted to US dollars. When the quote currency is already USD (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, gold) no conversion is needed. For pairs such as USD/JPY or EUR/GBP you enter the current price of the pair used for the conversion.

Example: 0.50 lot of EUR/USD = 50,000 units × 0.0001 = $5 per pip, so a 20-pip move is $100.

Frequently asked questions

What is a pip in forex?
A pip is the smallest standard price increment: 0.0001 for most currency pairs and 0.01 for yen pairs. Gold is quoted differently — this tool treats 0.10 as one pip for XAU/USD.
How much is one pip worth on a standard lot?
On pairs quoted in USD such as EUR/USD, one pip on 1 standard lot (100,000 units) is $10. A mini lot (0.10) is $1 and a micro lot (0.01) is $0.10.
Why do I need to enter a price for some pairs?
When the quote currency is not USD, the pip value has to be converted to dollars using a current exchange rate. Use the live rate from your trading platform.
Is the result exact?
It is a close estimate. Brokers can use slightly different contract sizes and rounding, so always confirm in your platform before trading.
