How pip value is calculated
One pip is the smallest standard price move in a pair. Its money value depends only on the pip size and how many units you trade, then a conversion to your account currency when the pair is not quoted in USD.
Pip value per pip for USD-quoted pairs
| Lot type | Units | Pip size | Value per pip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 100,000 | 0.0001 | $10.00 |
| Mini | 10,000 | 0.0001 | $1.00 |
| Micro | 1,000 | 0.0001 | $0.10 |
| Standard (JPY) | 100,000 | 0.01 | ≈ $6.60 at 151.00 |
Frequently Asked Questions
A pip is the smallest standard price move in a pair. For most pairs it is the fourth decimal (0.0001); for JPY pairs it is the second decimal (0.01).
A standard lot is 100,000 units. On a USD-quoted pair, 0.0001 × 100,000 = $10, so each pip moves your position by ten dollars.
JPY pairs use a 0.01 pip size and are quoted in yen, so the calculator divides by the USD/JPY rate to express the pip value in dollars.
When the pair is not quoted in USD, the raw pip value is in another currency. The rate converts it back to USD so the number matches your account.
