Assumes 100 oz per standard lot and a USD account. Some brokers quote 1 pip as $0.01 and a few use different contract sizes. Check your broker's specification.

Illustrative calculation only. Assumes 100 oz per standard lot and USD pricing. Excludes spreads, commissions, swaps and broker-specific contract or margin rules, which vary and can change. Not investment advice and not a guarantee of any outcome.

Your inputs live only in the page address once you change them.

How to use the gold calculator

Pick buy or sell, choose the lot type your platform uses, then type how many lots, your entry price and the exit you want to test. The big number is the estimated result in dollars before any costs. Below it you can see what each $1, each pip and each point of movement is worth on that size.

Size first, then stop

The stop-loss helper flips the question around: if you only want to risk a fixed dollar amount, it shows the price level where that loss would be hit at your current size. If the level is too tight for gold's normal daily range, reduce the size rather than widen the stop.

Why gold punishes oversizing

Gold routinely moves $20–$40 a day, which is $2,000–$4,000 per standard lot. Combine that with the Leverage & Margin Simulator to see how quickly a small account reaches stop-out, and compare gold spreads and swaps across brokers with Compare Brokers.
