Exness Profit Calculator

Profit equals the price difference times the contract size times the volume, with the sign reversed on a sell. Long 0.10 lot of EUR/USD from 1.1000 to 1.1050 is 0.0050 × 100,000 × 0.10 = $50.00 gross; after the 0.8-pip spread measured on 26 July 2026 the same trade nets about $49.20.

An Exness profit calculator estimates the profit or loss on a trade: choose the instrument, direction and volume, then enter your open and close prices. It uses contract specs measured on a live Exness account, so the money value is realistic. Pro mode shows the net result after spread, commission and overnight swap, with return on margin and the break-even exit price; switch to Simple for a quick gross figure.

Calculations use spreads and contract specs measured on a live Exness Standard account (2026-07-28). Figures are indicative — spreads may fluctuate and actual results will vary.

How much profit is 10 pips on 0.01 lot?

On EUR/USD, one pip on 0.01 lot is worth about $0.10, so a 10-pip move in the trade's favour is roughly $1.00 of gross profit. Crossing the measured 0.8-pip spread costs about $0.08, leaving about $0.92 before any commission or overnight swap.

Figures are indicative, from spreads and contract specs measured on a live Exness Standard account (2026-07-28). Converted to a local currency, the same amounts follow the current exchange rate, which changes through the day.

Frequently asked questions

Does the profit calculator show gross or net results?
Both. Simple mode shows the gross price move in money terms; Pro mode deducts the measured spread, commission and overnight swap, then adds return on margin, net pips and the break-even exit price. All figures are indicative.
Are results shown in the deposit currency?
Results are in USD by default, and Pro mode can display them in EUR or GBP at the measured mid rate. A figure in a local currency is the USD amount converted at the current exchange rate, so the converted amount is indicative.
How is profit calculated on a trade?
Profit equals the price difference times the contract size times the volume, with the sign reversed for a sell. Long 0.10 lot of EUR/USD from 1.1000 to 1.1050 is 0.0050 times 100,000 times 0.10, which is $50.00 gross. The same sum in pips is 50 pips times $10.00 per lot times 0.10 lot.
How much is a 50-pip move worth on 0.10 lot?
One pip on EUR/USD is $10.00 per 1.00 lot, so $1.00 on 0.10 lot: a 50-pip move is $50.00 gross in either direction. After the 0.8-pip median spread measured on the Exness Standard feed on 26 July 2026, a winning trade closed the same day nets about $49.20 on a Standard account.
Why is the closed result smaller than the price move suggests?
Three costs sit between gross and net: the spread, paid once per round turn; commission on Raw Spread from $3.50 per side per lot or Zero from $0.05 per lot; and swap for every night held. On a 0.10-lot EUR/USD Standard trade held one night those come to about $1.40, or 1.4 pips of the move.
What is the break-even exit price?
It is the exit level at which a trade has covered its own costs. Break-even distance in pips equals total costs divided by the pip value per lot divided by the volume. A 0.10-lot EUR/USD trade carrying $0.80 of spread breaks even 0.8 pips beyond entry; one night of swap moves that to about 1.4 pips.
How is profit on gold calculated?
Gold trades in a 100-ounce contract, so every 1.00 of price movement is $100.00 per lot. A short 0.05 lot from 4,050.00 to 4,030.00 gains 20.00 in price: 20.00 times 100 times 0.05 is $100.00 gross, before the measured spread of about $0.24 per ounce, which is $1.20 on that size.
How much does holding a position overnight change the result?
Swap is applied at every rollover and varies hugely by instrument. EUR/USD long measured −$6.00 per 1.00 lot per night on 26 July 2026, so 0.10 lot costs about $0.60 a night; gold long measured −$48.28 per lot. One weekday is charged triple, and swap-free accounts drop the charge on eligible instruments.

How a trade result is calculated, in price and in pips

Result = (exit price − entry price) × contract size × volume, with the sign flipped for a sell. Long 0.10 lot of EUR/USD from 1.1000 to 1.1050 is 0.0050 × 100,000 × 0.10 = $50.00. The same 50-pip move against the position is −$50.00: the arithmetic is symmetrical, which is why the volume decides how much a wrong call costs just as much as it decides the upside.

The same figure in pip terms is pips × pip value per lot × lots: 50 × $10.00 × 0.10 = $50.00. Pips are quicker to work with; prices are safer on the instruments where the pip convention trips people up — yen pairs, where a pip is 0.01, and gold, where a 0.01 move on the 100-ounce contract is worth $1.00 per lot.

Gold worked through: short 0.05 lot from 4,050.00 to 4,030.00 is a 20.00 move, so 20.00 × 100 ounces × 0.05 = $100.00 gross. On 1.00 lot the identical move is $2,000.00. Nothing about the instrument makes one result larger than the other — contract size and volume do.

Gross to net: spread, commission and overnight swap

The gross figure assumes the trade opens and closes at the same mid price. In practice a buy opens at the ask, the higher of the two quoted prices, and closes at the bid, the lower one, so the spread is paid once per round turn. On EUR/USD the 0.8-pip median spread measured on the Exness Standard feed on 26 July 2026 is $8.00 per 1.00 lot and $0.80 on 0.10 lot; on gold the measured spread of about $0.24 per ounce is roughly $24.00 per 1.00 lot.

Commission is an account-type question: Standard and Standard Cent carry none, Raw Spread charges from $3.50 per side per lot — from $7.00 per round turn — and Zero from $0.05 per lot. Swap is added for every night the position survives the rollover, at the instrument's rate per lot, with one weekday charged triple. The spread on the entry rarely decides a trade, but swap can: EUR/USD long measured −$6.00 per lot per night on 26 July 2026 while gold long measured −$48.28, eight times as much, so a position held for a week is a different proposition on the two instruments. Per-instrument rates are on Exness swap rates, and the all-in cost per lot on Exness trading costs. On a swap-free Islamic account the swap line does not apply to the instruments covered by swap-free status.

Net = gross − spread − commission ± swap. The 0.10-lot EUR/USD example closes at $50.00 − $0.80 = $49.20 net on a Standard account when it opens and closes the same day. Held one night at the measured −$6.00 per lot, it gives up another $0.60 and leaves $48.60. That is worth knowing before reading the widget: Nights held starts at 1 in Pro mode, so the swap line is already inside the net figure — set it to 0 for a trade that opened and closed on the same day.

The break-even exit price

A trade starts behind by its own costs, so the level where it stops losing money is not the entry price. Break-even distance in pips = total costs ÷ pip value per lot ÷ lots. The 0.10-lot EUR/USD example costs $0.80 and its pip value is $1.00, so the price has to travel 0.8 pips — exactly the spread — before the position is level.

Every extra cost pushes that level further away. One night of swap at −$6.00 per lot adds $0.60 on 0.10 lot and moves break-even to about 1.4 pips; a Raw Spread round turn of $7.00 per lot adds $0.70 on the same size. On trades that aim at a handful of pips this number decides whether the idea is worth taking at all, which is why Pro mode prints Break-even exit price as a price on the chart rather than as a percentage — it can be read straight off and compared with the intended target.

Where hand-calculated results go wrong

Counting the move in points. On five-digit and three-digit quotes ten points make one pip; counting points inflates the result tenfold.

Comparing ask with ask. A round turn crosses the spread once — count it once, and count it at entry.

Reusing the $10 pip value everywhere. That number belongs to EUR/USD. Gold is $1.00 per 0.01 move per lot, USD/JPY about $6.10 per pip, US Oil $10.00 per 0.01.

Dropping the swap on multi-night trades. Five nights on 1.00 lot of EUR/USD long at the measured rate is $30.00, and on gold long the same five nights are $241.40.

Treating a converted result as fixed. A profit shown in a currency other than the account currency follows the exchange rate of the day.

Size it first, then price it

A result is only as meaningful as the size it was calculated on, and the size should come from a risk limit rather than from a round number. To work in that direction — from a percentage of the account and a stop distance to the volume in lots — use the Exness lot size calculator. For the figures that describe a position before it is opened, the Exness trading calculator covers required margin, pip value, spread cost and swap on any volume, and measured live spreads show what an entry costs right now.

Checking a trade result in the widget above

  1. The page opens on Pro · Net P&L, which holds every field these steps use; the Simple tab beside it returns the gross figure alone.
  2. Choose the instrument and the direction actually taken, buy or sell — the sign of the whole result depends on it.
  3. Enter the volume exactly as traded, in lots: 0.10 lot, not 10,000 units.
  4. Enter the open and close prices from the trade itself, not the price on the chart now. Leaving Exit price empty leaves the result blank.
  5. Set Nights held to the number of rollovers the position actually survived. It starts at 1, so an intraday trade needs it set to 0 or the swap will be deducted for a night that never happened.
  6. Put the round-turn commission in Commission ($/lot, round-turn): 0 on Standard and Standard Cent, about 7.00 on Raw Spread at from $3.50 per side, and the equivalent figure on Zero, whose commission starts at $0.05 per lot.
  7. Compare Net profit / loss with Gross P/L and read Break-even exit price: the gap between entry and break-even is how much of the move went on costs rather than on the market.

Pro mode also shows the result as Return on margin, which makes two trades of different sizes comparable, and Net pips, the move after the spread has been taken out.

What a 50-pip EUR/USD move is worth by volume

VolumeNotional at 1.10001 pipGross on 50 pipsSpread at 0.8 pipsNet, same day
0.01 lot$1,100$0.10$5.00$0.08$4.92

1.00 lot$110,000$10.00$500.00$8.00$492.00

Notional is shown at an example price of 1.1000 so the arithmetic can be checked by hand; the widget above works from the live price. The spread column is the round-turn cost at the 0.8-pip median measured on the Exness Standard feed on 26 July 2026, and the net column assumes a Standard account closed the same day, so no commission and no swap. A losing move of the same distance produces the same figures with a minus sign.

Contract size decides how far the price has to travel for the same money, and the swap column decides what waiting for it costs. USD/JPY converts at the 163.84 rate measured on 26 July 2026 (about $6.10 per pip per lot) and shifts with it; swap figures are the measured points per lot times the tick value on the same date and are re-read daily on the swap rates page.
