How to Calculate Forex Profit & Loss

Profit or loss is calculated from the price difference between entry and exit, multiplied by position size. The formula depends on whether you're buying or selling.

P&L Formula

• Buy (Long) — P&L = (Exit Price - Entry Price) × Lots × Contract Size
• Sell (Short) — P&L = (Entry Price - Exit Price) × Lots × Contract Size
• In Pips — Divide the price difference by pip size (0.0001 or 0.01)

Example

Buy 1 lot EUR/USD at 1.0850, sell at 1.0900 = 50 pips × $10/pip = $500 profit. The same trade with 0.1 lots = $50 profit.
