TradeTodaysForex Profit Calculator
Before entering a trade it helps to know what your setup is actually worth: how much a move from entry to target earns you — and what the same distance against you would cost. This calculator turns entry and exit prices into a concrete profit or loss figure in your account currency.
The Formula Behind It
Profit = (Exit − Entry) × Contract size × Lots, converted to your account currency- •Exit − Entry — the price difference; for a sell trade the terms are reversed (Entry − Exit).
- •Contract size — 100,000 units for one standard lot of a forex pair.
- •Lots — your trade size.
- •Conversion — the result is paid in the quote currency and converted to your account currency.
How to Use This Calculator
- 1
Select the pair, your account currency and the trade direction.
- 2
Enter your intended entry price.
- 3
Enter your target (or actual) exit price.
- 4
Enter the trade size in lots.
- 5
Read the gross result — then mentally subtract spread, commission and any swap to estimate the net figure.
Worked Example
You buy 1 standard lot of EUR/USD at 1.0800 and close the position at 1.0850.
Price difference = 1.0850 − 1.0800 = 0.0050 (50 pips). Profit = 0.0050 × 100,000 × 1.
Result: $500 gross profit in a USD account. If the price had dropped to 1.0750 instead, the loss would also be $500.
Important Risk Note
The calculator shows gross profit or loss before spread, commission, swap and slippage. Real results are always somewhat worse than the raw math, and leveraged losses can exceed your expectations if you trade oversized positions. Educational use only.
