Why is my profit different at the broker?

Brokers apply spreads, commissions and conversion costs that this calculator doesn't include by default.

Does this work for crypto pairs?

Yes — major crypto pairs use a different pip size and contract; the calculator adjusts automatically.

Can I include commission in the result?

Yes — enable advanced mode to subtract commission per lot and overnight swap from net profit.

What's the difference between gross and net profit?

Gross profit is the raw price-move return. Net profit subtracts spread, commission, swap and any conversion fees.

How do I calculate profit in pips vs cash?

Pips measure raw price distance. Cash multiplies pips by pip value × lots. Both views are shown in the result.

Does profit differ by account currency?

Yes — pip value is converted to your account currency, so the same pip move yields different cash on a EUR vs USD account.

How are short-trade profits computed?

Profit = (entry − exit) × pip value × lots. Profit is positive when price falls below entry.

What about partial closes?

Calculate each partial as a separate trade with its own exit price and lot size, then sum the results.

No. Tax treatment depends on your jurisdiction. Use net profit as the basis for tax estimates with a local accountant.

How this calculator works

The calculator measures the price difference between entry and exit, multiplies by pip value per lot, and scales by your lot size. Short trades flip the sign.

Trading example

Buy 1 lot EUR/USD at 1.0850, exit at 1.0920 → 70 pips profit, ≈ $700.
