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 is 0.01 lot on EUR/USD?

On a USD account, 0.01 lot of EUR/USD is 1,000 units of the base currency — a position of about $1,136 at the measured mid rate of 1.13650. At 1:200 leverage it needs about $5.68 of margin, one pip is worth about $0.10, and crossing the measured 0.8-pip spread costs about $0.08.

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.

Margin: how much of the account a position locks up

Required margin = (volume in lots × contract size × current price) ÷ leverage. The contract size on EUR/USD is 100,000 units of the base currency, so 1.00 lot at an example price of 1.1000 is a $110,000 position — the full face value of the contract, called the notional. Leverage divides that figure, not the price on the chart: $550 of margin at 1:200, $220 at 1:500. Volume scales it in a straight line — 0.10 lot needs one tenth, 0.01 lot one hundredth.

Gold works the same way with a different contract size. XAU/USD is 100 troy ounces per lot, so 1.00 lot at 4,000.00 is a $400,000 position and $2,000 of margin at 1:200. The contract sizes come from the Exness MT5 contract specifications measured on a live Standard account on 26 July 2026: 100,000 units on the major currency pairs, 100 ounces on gold, 5,000 ounces on silver, 1,000 barrels on US Oil. When the deposit currency is also the base currency the price drops out of the sum — 1.00 lot of USD/JPY is $100,000 of notional and $500 of margin at 1:200 whatever the rate does.

Leverage is an account setting, changed in the Personal Area within the options available for that account and instrument, so the same trade can require very different margin on two accounts. Round numbers are used here so the arithmetic can be checked by hand; the widget above works from the live price, so its margin figure will differ a little from these illustrations. Every example on this page assumes an account denominated in US dollars.

Margin level = equity ÷ used margin × 100%, and it decides how long a losing position stays open. On the Standard account measured on 26 July 2026 the margin call level was 60% and the stop-out level 0%: at 60% the account is in margin call and cannot open new positions, and at 0% open positions start to be closed automatically. A low stop-out level gives a position more room to recover — and exactly as much room to keep losing. Margin is a measure of what the account has tied up, never a measure of what the trade can lose; that comes from volume and stop distance.

Pip value: what one pip is worth per lot

Pip value per 1.00 lot = pip size × contract size, converted into the deposit currency. A pip is the fourth decimal on most currency pairs (0.0001) and the second decimal on yen pairs (0.01). On EUR/USD that is 0.0001 × 100,000 = $10.00 per lot, which makes $1.00 per pip on 0.10 lot and $0.10 per pip on 0.01 lot — the number the widget prints as Pip value.

When the quote currency is not the deposit currency the value has to be converted, and it then drifts with the exchange rate. USD/JPY moves 0.01 per pip on a 100,000 contract, which is 1,000 JPY per lot — about $6.10 at the 163.84 rate measured on 26 July 2026. Metals and energies have their own contract sizes, so one 0.01 move is worth $1.00 per lot on gold (100 ounces), $50.00 on silver (5,000 ounces) and $10.00 on US Oil (1,000 barrels).

Points and pips are not the same unit. A five-digit EUR/USD quote moves in points of 0.00001 and ten points make one pip; three-digit quotes such as USD/JPY and gold work the same way, ten 0.001 points to a 0.01 pip. Mixing the two multiplies or divides every result by ten, and it is an easy mistake to make because platforms report the same spread in both units — the measured EUR/USD spread is 0.8 pips and 8 points, one number written twice.

Cost of the position: spread, commission and overnight swap

Spread cost = spread in pips × pip value per lot × lots. It is paid once per round turn — the open and the close counted together — because a buy opens at the ask, the higher of the two prices, and closes at the bid, the lower one. EUR/USD showed a 0.8-pip median spread across 21,419 ticks on the Exness Standard feed measured on 26 July 2026: about $8.00 per 1.00 lot, $0.80 on 0.10 lot and $0.08 on 0.01 lot.

A median is what a position usually pays, not a ceiling. In the same 24-hour window the widest single EUR/USD tick was 6.1 pips — $61.00 per lot instead of $8.00 — and on GBP/USD the 99th-percentile tick was 9.2 pips against a 1.0-pip median. Spreads widen around news and at the session change, so a cost worked out at the median is the favourable case for the entry rather than a promise. Current figures for every instrument are on the measured Exness live spreads page.

Commission depends on the account type, so the honest comparison is spread plus commission, never one of them alone. Standard and Standard Cent carry no commission and hold the cost inside the spread; Raw Spread charges from $3.50 per side per lot, which is from $7.00 for a round turn, with spreads from 0.0 pips; Zero charges from $0.05 per lot. Spread, commission and swap are the whole trading fee on a position — there is no separate charge per order on top of them. The all-in figure per instrument is set out on Exness trading costs.

Overnight swap applies to positions still open at the daily rollover, 00:00 on the trading server's clock — the measured server runs on UTC. It is quoted in points per lot per night: multiply the points by the instrument's tick value and by the number of lots. How big that line is depends entirely on the instrument — EUR/USD long measured −$6.00 per lot per night on 26 July 2026, gold long −$48.28. It can be a credit instead of a charge depending on direction, and one weekday is charged triple: Wednesday on EUR/USD, Friday on the measured indices. The full table is on Exness swap rates by instrument.

On a swap-free Islamic account the overnight swap does not apply to the instruments that carry swap-free status, so that line drops out of the cost and only spread and commission remain. Everything else in the calculation — margin, pip value, spread cost — is unchanged.

Which calculator answers which question

This page is the hub for the numbers that describe the position itself — margin, pip value, spread cost and swap on a chosen volume. Two neighbouring pages answer different questions and are the faster route when the question is one of these.

The result of one specific trade. Entry price, exit price, direction and volume, gross and net of costs, plus the break-even exit level: that is the Exness profit calculator.

The volume that fits a risk limit. Balance, percentage risked and stop-loss distance turned into lots, with the minimum volume and the rounding rule: that is the Exness lot size calculator.

An amount in another currency. Indicative mid-rate conversion between deposit currencies is on the currency converter.

Five mistakes that break a hand calculation

Points read as pips. Ten points equal one pip on five-digit and three-digit quotes; the confusion moves every figure by a factor of ten.

Leverage applied to the quoted price. Leverage divides the notional value of the contract, not the price on the chart: 1.00 lot of EUR/USD is $110,000 of exposure at 1.1000, not $1.10.

The spread forgotten at entry. A position is behind by the spread before the market has moved at all, so a break-even exit is always further away than the entry price.

Margin treated as a fixed amount. It is recalculated from the live price, so a rising market increases the margin a long position holds.

Swap read as a percentage. It is points per lot per night, applied at rollover and tripled on one weekday, not an annual rate.

Costing a position in the widget above

1. The page opens on Pro · Planner. For a straight volume-in, cost-out read, press Simple in the switch at the top of the widget — the steps below describe that view.
2. Pick the instrument and type the volume in lots. EUR/USD accepts 0.01 to 200.00 in steps of 0.01 on the measured specifications, and every other output scales from this one number.
3. Set Leverage 1: to the leverage of the account — the field starts at 200 — and watch Required margin change as it does.
4. Read Pip value and multiply it by the stop-loss distance the trade will use: that product, not the margin, is the money the position puts at risk.
5. Read Spread cost (measured), which is what the position gives up at entry, and add Swap long or Swap short for every night it will be held past rollover.
6. Compare Required margin with what is genuinely free on the account. A position that consumes most of the available margin leaves the price no room to move against it before the stop-out level is reached.

Pro · Planner turns the same instrument into a full ticket: it sizes the position from a risk percentage, shows reward-to-risk gross and net of costs, and prints break-even in pips alongside Free margin. To work in the other direction — from a risk limit to the volume — the Exness lot size calculator is the shorter route.

Contract size and pip value per 1.00 lot

Contract sizes and tick values from the Exness MT5 contract specifications measured on a live Standard account on 26 July 2026. Values quoted in a currency other than the deposit currency — yen pairs, metals — move with the exchange rate; the widget above recalculates them from the live feed.

Margin for one EUR/USD position at different leverage

Worked at an example price of 1.1000 so the arithmetic can be checked by hand: 1.00 lot is $110,000 of notional and margin is that figure divided by the leverage. The settings shown illustrate the arithmetic — the range that can actually be selected depends on the account and the instrument. The widget above uses the live price, so its output differs slightly from this illustration. Higher leverage lowers the margin a position holds; it does not lower the money the position can lose.
