Calculation formula

Profit & loss = (Exit execution price − Entry execution price) × (+1/−1) × Volume (lots) × Contract units per lot × Currency conversion − Volume (lots) × Commission

Use executable entry and exit prices: long ask to bid, short bid to ask. Do not subtract spread twice.

Frequently asked questions

How is this calculated?

Calculation formula: Profit & loss = (Exit execution price − Entry execution price) × (+1/−1) × Volume (lots) × Contract units per lot × Currency conversion − Volume (lots) × Commission

Why might my broker show a different result?

Check the broker’s actual contract, account and location conditions. Use executable entry and exit prices: long ask to bid, short bid to ask. Do not subtract spread twice.

Are these live broker prices?

No. This calculator uses your inputs or editable example specifications, not live prices.

Educational calculator. Estimates use your own inputs or editable example contract defaults. Verify broker terms and eligibility independently.
