What is a trading profit calculator?
A trading profit calculator converts a price move into real profit or loss in your account currency. Instead of guessing what a 50-pip forex move, a 10-point ES futures move, or a BTCUSD move means in dollars, you can calculate it instantly before placing the trade.
Profit calculator formula
Profit/Loss = Price Movement × Pip or Tick Value × Position Size
Long trades profit when price rises. Short trades profit when price falls. For futures, ProfitPnL uses fixed exchange-style point values such as ES at $50 per point and NQ at $20 per point.
FAQs
Does this include spread or commission?
No. This tool calculates raw price-based P&L. Your final broker result can differ because of spread, commission, swaps, and slippage.
Can I use this for crypto and futures?
Yes. Select BTCUSD, ETHUSD, ES, NQ, YM, GC, CL, or another supported instrument and the calculator uses the right contract model for the calculation.
What should I use next?
Use the risk-reward calculator before entering a trade, then use the lot size calculator to size it correctly.
