Forex Profit Calculator

Calculate the profit or loss on a forex trade from your entry price, exit price and lot size, long or short, in pips and in your account currency.

Your trade
Advanced: pip size and contract size

Defaults: 0.0001 for most pairs, 0.01 for JPY pairs. Metals use a price step of 0.01 (gold) or 0.001 (silver) and 100 oz / 5,000 oz lots, but brokers differ, so check your broker’s contract specification.

How forex profit is calculated

Profit = (Exit price − Entry price) × Units          for a buy
Profit = (Entry price − Exit price) × Units          for a sell

The result is in the pair’s quote currency. The calculator then converts it to your account currency: automatically when your account is in the base currency (using the exit price), or with the rate you enter for any other currency.

Example

You buy 1 lot of EUR/USD (100,000 euros) at 1.1000 and sell at 1.1050. The price rose 0.0050, which is 50 pips. Profit = 0.0050 × 100,000 = $500. Selling short from 1.1050 to 1.1000 makes the same amount.

FAQ

How do I calculate profit in forex?
Multiply the price change by the number of units. For a buy it's exit minus entry; for a sell it's entry minus exit. The result is in the quote currency, which you convert to your account currency if they differ.
How much is 50 pips worth on 1 lot?
On EUR/USD or any pair quoted in USD, 50 pips on one standard lot is $500 before costs. Other pairs depend on the exchange rate.
Does the forex profit calculator include spreads and fees?
No. It shows the gross result from the prices you enter. Spreads, commissions and overnight swaps reduce the real profit.
How do I calculate profit on a short trade?
Choose Sell. Profit is entry price minus exit price, times units, so the trade makes money when the price falls.
