Create AccountProfit Calculator
Work out what a trade made or lost, from entry to exit, in your account currency.
Your Result
The calculation runs in your browser. Rates used for currency conversion are indicative — check your broker for the exact figure.
A price move only becomes a number you can use once size is applied to it. Seventy pips is meaningless until you know whether it was a micro lot or five standard lots. This calculator does that conversion and puts the answer in your account currency.
It also works before the trade. Put in the entry and the level you are aiming for, and it tells you what the target is worth — which is often the quickest way to tell whether a setup is worth taking at all.
When to use it
- After closing, to record the result in a journal accurately.
- Before entering, to see what a target is actually worth.
- When comparing two setups on different pairs with different pip values.
- To check a broker statement when a figure looks wrong.
The move in pips, multiplied by what a pip is worth at your size.
Pips = (Exit − Entry) ÷ Pip Size · reversed for a sell
Profit = Pips × Pip Value per Lot × Lots- On a sell, the sign flips — a falling price is a profit, so the subtraction runs the other way.
- Pip value is converted into your account currency, which is why the same move pays differently on a euro account than a dollar one.
- Spread, commission and swap are not included. Subtract them to get the figure your statement will show.
A buy on EUR/USD entered at 1.0850 and closed at 1.0920, one standard lot.
Working: (1.0920 − 1.0850) ÷ 0.0001 = 70 pips, and 70 × $10 = $700. The same 70 pips on 0.10 lots would be $70. The move did not change — only the size did.
Why is my broker's figure lower?
Because the calculator uses your entry and exit only. Spread is paid on entry, commission on both sides, and swap accrues each night the position is held. All three come out of the number shown here.
How do I calculate profit on a short trade?
Choose Sell. The calculator flips the subtraction, so an exit below the entry produces a profit and an exit above it produces a loss.
Does this work for gold and silver?
Yes. Select XAU/USD or XAG/USD and the contract size changes to 100 or 5,000 ounces, which is what makes the money value so different from a currency pair for the same price move.
What is return on position value?
The profit as a percentage of the full position, not of your account. It is a useful sanity check: a large return on position value from a small price move usually means the size was too big.
