How to convert pips into money

1

1. Know the pip value per lot

On most forex pairs, 1 pip is worth about 10 per standard lot. On gold (XAUUSD), a 0.10 pip is also worth about 10 per lot. Your platform shows it in the symbol specifications.

2. Multiply by your size

Pip value for your position = pip value per lot × size in lots. With 0.5 lot and 10 per lot, one pip is worth 5 to you.

3. Multiply by the number of pips

Total amount = pip value for your position × number of pips. That's what a target earns or a stop loss of that distance costs.

Amount = pip value per lot × size in lots × number of pips. This is the calculation that tells you, in money, what your stop or target distance is really worth.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a pip worth?

On a standard forex pair (EURUSD, GBPUSD), a pip is worth about 10 per standard lot, 1 per mini lot (0.1) and 0.10 per micro lot (0.01). On gold (XAUUSD), a 0.10 pip is also worth about 10 per lot. Multiply by your size for your real value.

How do I calculate pip value on gold?

On XAUUSD, a pip (0.10 move) is worth about 10 per standard lot at most brokers. For 0.5 lot, a pip is therefore worth 5. Check the exact value in your broker's specifications, as it can vary slightly.

Pips or points, what's the difference?

On forex, a pip is the 4th decimal (0.0001). On indices or gold, people often speak of points. The conversion principle is the same: value of one point per lot × size × number of points.

Is this converter free?

Yes, fully free and no sign-up. It complements the position size calculator: one gives you your size, the other tells you what each pip is worth once that size is chosen.
