EURAUD Pip Value Calculator

Knowing what one pip of EURAUD is actually worth, before you size a trade, is what this calculator answers — using EURAUD's own real contract size and point value rather than a flat forex assumption.

How do I calculate pip value for EURAUD?

At EURAUD's stored contract size (100,000 units per lot), here's what one pip of movement is worth at three common lot sizes.

Say a trader opens 0.50 lots of EURAUD, with a stop loss 65 pips away and a take profit 130 pips away.

Why does pip value change between instruments?

Pip value depends on the pair's quote currency and the current exchange rate, not just the pip size. EURAUD is worth $7.02 per pip per lot right now — a different pair, or the same pair at a different exchange rate, would give a different dollar figure even with an identical pip count.

Why is pip calculation different for non-standard-decimal instruments like this one?

Most forex majors use a 4-decimal pip convention, but plenty of instruments don't: JPY pairs use 2 decimals, and EURAUD uses its own quoting convention (one pip here equals a raw price move of 0.0001). This calculator uses EURAUD's own real pip/point size rather than assuming the generic 4-decimal convention, which would silently miscount the move.

What one pip means on EURAUD

It often trends for long stretches when the two central banks diverge, but its pip is worth Australian dollars that must be converted.

On this site one pip for EURAUD is 0.0001 in price. If EURAUD rose from 1.6429 to 1.6479, the move is 0.0050 ÷ 0.0001 = 50 pips.

How the value per pip is calculated

For one lot: 0.0001 × 100,000 = 10 AUD per pip for 1 lot; assuming AUDUSD = 0.7000 (1 AUD = $0.7000), that is $7.00. Everything below uses $7.00 per pip for 1.00 lot.

EURAUD value per pip at common lot sizes

• 1.00 lot: 1.00 × $7.00 = $7.00 per pip.
• 0.10 lots: 0.10 × $7.00 = $0.70 per pip.
• 0.01 lots: 0.01 × $7.00 = $0.07 per pip.
• 5.00 lots: 5.00 × $7.00 = $35.00 per pip.

Value per pip grows in direct proportion to lot size, so doubling the lots doubles both the gain and the loss for every pip price moves.

Worked example: what a stop costs on 0.30 lots of EURAUD

• Entry 1.6429, stop 1.6379: the distance is 50 pips.
• Value per pip on 0.30 lots: 0.30 × $7.00 = $2.10.
• Money at risk if the stop is hit: 50 × 0.30 × $7.00 = $105.00.
• Spread of 4 pips (an invented figure for this example): 4 × 0.30 × $7.00 = $8.40, which is 8% of the stop distance.

Spreads are wider than on majors, so very short stops are a poor fit. On a 50 pip stop the spread above takes 8% of the room before price moves at all, and on a stop half as wide, 25 pips, it would take 16%.

Risk at other stop distances on 0.10 lots

• 25 pips: 25 × 0.10 × $7.00 = $17.50.
• 50 pips: 50 × 0.10 × $7.00 = $35.00.
• 100 pips: 100 × 0.10 × $7.00 = $70.00.
• 200 pips: 200 × 0.10 × $7.00 = $140.00.

Each doubling of the stop doubles the money at risk on the same lot size, which is why a wider stop needs a smaller position to keep the risk the same.

Working backwards: how far can the stop be?

Sometimes the lot size is fixed and the question is how wide the stop may be. Say you hold 0.10 lots of EURAUD and will risk $100.

• Value per pip on 0.10 lots: 0.10 × $7.00 = $0.70.
• Stop distance: $100 ÷ $0.70 = 142.9, rounded down to 142 pips.
• Check: 142 × 0.10 × $7.00 = $99.40, inside the $100 budget.
• In price terms, 142 × 0.0001 = 0.0142, so a buy at 1.6429 would have its stop at 1.6287.

If that stop is too tight for how EURAUD actually moves, the answer is fewer lots, not a stop that sits inside the normal noise. The EURAUD lot size calculator does that step for you.

Does the value per pip change?

Yes, because EURAUD is quoted in AUD. The value per pip is converted to US dollars at the going rate, so it moves with that rate. Suppose AUD loses 5% against the dollar: one AUD falls from $0.7 to $0.7 × 0.95 = $0.665, and the value per pip for 1 lot becomes 10 × $0.665 = $6.65 instead of $7.00. Re-check the value when the rate has moved a lot, especially before sizing a long-held position.

Verify the EURAUD pip value with your broker

The contract size of 100,000 and the pip size of 0.0001 are reference values. Brokers can define a point or pip differently and quote an extra decimal, so compare $7.00 per pip with the tick value in your platform's contract specification. For background on the instrument, see the Australian dollar on Wikipedia.

Where to find the EURAUD value in your platform

• Open the contract specification for EURAUD (in MetaTrader, right-click the symbol in Market Watch and choose Specification).
• Check the contract size: this page assumes 100,000.
• Check the tick size and tick value, then scale to one pip of 0.0001 if they differ.
• Compare the result with $7.00 per pip per lot; a gap of more than a few percent usually means a different contract size or a different conversion rate.

Conclusion

This only holds if 100,000 units per lot is actually your own broker's real contract size for EURAUD — it's a figure that varies by broker, especially outside plain forex majors. Always confirm your own platform's EURAUD specification (Market Watch, then Specification) before trusting a pip/point value for a real trade. See the difference between points and pips, Wikipedia's entry on percentage in point (pip) for the underlying concept, and real MT4 screenshots comparing pip value across different lot sizes.
