Forex Profit Calculator
Calculate forex profit/loss, pips, margin required, and ROI.
Position Size = Lot Size * 100,000 units\nPip Value = (0.0001 / Entry Price) * Position Size\nPips = (Exit Price − Entry Price) / 0.0001 (for long)\nProfit/Loss = Pips * Pip Value\nMargin = (Position Size * Entry Price) / Leverage\nROI = Profit / Margin * 100
Example (Long EUR/USD):\nEntry: 1.10000, Exit: 1.10500\nLot: 1.0 standard lot = 100,000 units\nLeverage: 1:50\n\nPips = 50 pips\nPip Value = $10/pip\nProfit = 50 * $10 = $500\nMargin = $110,000 / 50 = $2,200\nROI = 500 / 2,200 * 100 = 22.73%
What is a pip in forex?
A pip (percentage in point) is the smallest price movement. For most pairs, 1 pip = 0.0001. For JPY pairs, 1 pip = 0.01.
What is a standard lot?
A standard lot = 100,000 units of the base currency. A mini lot = 10,000 units (0.1 lot), micro lot = 1,000 units (0.01 lot).
How does leverage affect profit?
Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. Higher leverage requires less margin but increases risk exposure.
What is margin?
Margin is the capital required to open a position. Margin = Position Value / Leverage. Example: $100,000 position with 1:50 leverage requires $2,000 margin.
Are spreads and commissions included?
No. Add broker spreads, commissions, and swap fees separately when calculating actual profit.
