Pips profit calculator
A free live calculator for gold (XAUUSD), forex and indices: pip values, profit and loss from entry and exit prices, and position size from the 1% risk rule. Every Aurum Desk signal publishes entry, stop-loss and a TP ladder — plug the distances in here at 1% risk.
How the pips profit calculator works
Cash P&L does not depend on what you call a "pip". For USD-quoted markets it is price change × contract size × lots. Pip size only converts that move into a pip count. On Aurum Desk gold, 1 pip = $0.10, so an $8.50 move is 85 pips — not 850.
Position size works the other way round: lots = risk cash ÷ (stop pips × pip value per lot). Risk cash is your balance × your risk percentage, which for most followers should be the 1% rule.

Frequently asked questions
What is a pip on gold at Aurum Desk?
Our signals count 1 gold pip as a $0.10 price move (same as the live desk). On a standard 100 oz lot that is about $10 per pip. Some broker apps call $0.01 a pip instead — use the Gold pip mode toggle if your platform uses that convention. Profit from entry/exit prices is identical either way.
How is profit calculated?
From prices: P&L = (exit − entry) × contract size × lots (sign flipped for sells). For gold, contract size is 100 oz per 1.0 lot, so a $1 move on 1.0 lot = $100. Pip counts are only a way to express that move.
How much is 1 pip on EURUSD?
On a standard lot (100,000 units), 1 pip (0.0001) is $10. A mini lot (0.10) is $1 per pip; a micro lot (0.01) is $0.10 per pip.
How do I size with the 1% rule?
Risk cash = balance × risk %. Lot size = risk cash ÷ (stop pips × pip value per 1.0 lot). Use Position Size mode. Match gold pip mode to how you count stop distance on the signal.
Why might my broker differ?
Cent accounts, 1 oz gold contracts, and "point vs pip" labels change the cash-per-pip number. Always confirm contract size on your platform. This tool uses standard retail CFD sizes.
