Pip/Point Value Calculator
Convert pip or point movement into account-currency value for any pair, metal, or index.
Adjust contract specs
Leave the rate at 1 if your account currency matches EURUSD's quote currency (USD).
Why it matters
Gold, indices, and forex all define a "pip" or "point" differently — mixing them up is one of the most common sizing mistakes we see members make when they move from forex-only into metals or indices. This tool exists specifically so that mistake doesn't cost real money.

Pip/point value
Value = Pip/Point Size × Contract Size × Position Size (× Quote→Account Rate)- 1Pick your instrument — the calculator seeds the standard pip/point size and contract size for it.
- 2Enter your position size in lots.
- 3If your account currency differs from the instrument's quote currency, enter the conversion rate (defaults to 1, since a USD account trading a USD-quoted pair needs no conversion).
- 4The result shows what one pip/point is worth at that size, plus the total value of any custom move you enter.
