Forex Profit Calculator
Estimate the gain or loss of a trade in pips and money, net of commissions, before you execute it. Works for both buys (long) and sells (short).
Input
Round-trip. Typical: $3–$7 per standard lot.
Result
Good exit: 50.0 pips captured before commissions. Remember this assumes perfect execution with no slippage.
How this is calculated
net P/L = (pip move × lots × pip value per lot) − (lots × commission per lot)
The pip move is the price difference divided by the pip size. For a long position it is exit minus entry; for a short it is entry minus exit, so a short position that falls in price shows a gain rather than a loss.
Gross profit or loss multiplies that pip move by the position size and the value of one pip. Round-trip commission is then subtracted to give the net figure, which is the number that reaches your balance.
Worked example: a long on EUR/USD from 1.1000 to 1.1050 is a 50-pip move. One standard lot at $10 per pip is $500 gross. A $7 round-trip commission leaves $493 net.
