XAUUSD Pip Calculator — Gold Pip Value in USD

Gold (XAU/USD) has unique pip math — 1 standard lot equals 100 troy ounces, and 1 pip equals a $0.01 price movement, giving a pip value of $1.00 per pip per standard lot. This is different from forex pairs and trips up many traders. Use this calculator before every gold trade to know exactly how much each pip is worth and how much you stand to gain or lose on any given position size.

XAUUSD Pip Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions

Q.What is the pip value for XAUUSD?

For 1 standard lot of XAUUSD (100 oz), 1 pip ($0.01 price movement) = $1.00. For a mini lot (0.10), pip value = $0.10. For a micro lot (0.01), pip value = $0.01. All values are in USD for USD-denominated accounts.

Q.How many pips is $100 on gold?

At 1 standard lot, $100 = 100 pips (since 1 pip = $1). At 0.5 lots, $100 = 200 pips. At 2 lots, $100 = 50 pips. Use this calculator to get the exact answer for your lot size.

Q.Is XAUUSD pip the same as forex pip?

No. XAUUSD pips are calculated differently from most forex pairs. For major forex pairs, 1 pip is the 4th decimal place (0.0001). For XAUUSD, 1 pip is the 2nd decimal place ($0.01), because gold is priced in dollars per ounce. Always use a gold-specific pip calculator rather than a generic forex pip calculator.

Q.How do I calculate XAUUSD profit?

Profit (USD) = Lot Size × 100 × (Exit Price − Entry Price). For example: 1 lot, bought at 2350.00, sold at 2360.00 → profit = 1 × 100 × $10.00 = $1,000. In pips: $10.00 price move = 1000 pips × $1.00 pip value = $1,000.

Q.What is the pip size for XAU/USD (gold)?

For XAU/USD, 1 pip = $0.01 (one cent). Gold is quoted to 2 decimal places (e.g. 1950.25). So a move from 1950.00 to 1951.00 is 100 pips. At 1 standard lot (100 oz), each pip is worth $1, meaning a 100-pip move = $100 profit/loss. This is why gold position sizing differs significantly from forex pairs and requires a dedicated XAUUSD calculator.
