Forex Calculators
What it does:- The margin calculator helps with calculating the exact margin (capital) needed to open your trading position (i.e. the “deposit” your broker holds).
Formula:
Required Margin = (Trade Size × Price) ÷ Leverage
Example: You want to buy 1 standard lot (100,000 units) of EUR/USD at 1.1050, with 1:1000 leverage.
(100,000 × 1.1050) ÷ 1000 = $110.50 required margin

What it does:- The pip value calculator helps with finding the value of each pip (the smallest price movement) in the account currency you want to trade in.
Formula:
Pip Value = (Pip Size ÷ Exchange Rate) × Lot Size
For most pairs, Pip Size = 0.0001
For JPY pairs, Pip Size = 0.01
Example: 1 standard lot (100,000) of EUR/USD at 1.1050, account in USD:
(0.0001 ÷ 1.1050) × 100,000 = ~$9.05 per pip
For a USD-quoted pair (like EUR/USD), it simplifies to:
Pip Value = 0.0001 × 100,000 = $10 per pip (when account is in USD)

What it does: The lot size (position size) calculator helps with finding the amount of currency units to buy or sell to control your maximum risk per position. This basically tells you how many lots to trade based on how much you’re willing to risk.
Formula:
Lot Size = (Account Balance × Risk %) ÷ (Stop Loss in Pips × Pip Value)
Example: Account = $10,000 | Risk = 1% | Stop Loss = 50 pips | Pip Value = $10
($10,000 × 0.01) ÷ (50 × $10) = $100 ÷ $500 = 0.2 lots
This means you trade 0.2 standard lots to keep your risk at exactly $100 (1% of account).

What it does: The profit & loss calculator helps with finding the potential profits and losses depending on the outcome of the trade (Calculates your profit or loss from a closed trade).
Formula:
P&L = (Close Price − Open Price) × Lot Size × Contract Size
Long trade: Close – Open
Short trade: Open – Close
Example (Long): Bought 1 lot EUR/USD at 1.1000, closed at 1.1050
(1.1050 − 1.1000) × 1 × 100,000 = 0.0050 × 100,000 = $500 profit
In pips first, then convert:
P&L = Pips Gained × Pip Value × Number of Lots 50 pips × $10 × 1 lot = $500 profit
