Forex Trading Calculators — How They Work

Position size = (Account Balance × Risk %) ÷ (Stop Loss in pips × Pip Value). Always risk a fixed small percentage per trade (1–2% is standard) so a losing streak cannot blow your account. These calculators work for XAUUSD (Gold) and all major forex pairs, free and with no signup.

Pair	Pip size	Pip value / 1.0 lot (USD)	Pip value / 0.01 lot
XAUUSD (Gold)	0.10	$10.00	$0.10
EURUSD	0.0001	$10.00	$0.10
GBPUSD	0.0001	$10.00	$0.10
AUDUSD	0.0001	$10.00	$0.10
USDJPY	0.01	≈$9.00	≈$0.09

A good risk/reward ratio is 1:2 or higher. At 1:2 you only need to win 33% of trades to break even; at 1:3 you need just 25%. Use the R:R calculator above before every entry to confirm the trade is worth taking.
