Use this XAUUSD pips and pip-value calculator with your broker's quote increment and contract size. On a 100-ounce contract, a $1 gold price move is about $100 in profit or loss on 1.00 lot before costs. Pip labels vary: if 1 pip is $0.01, that move is 100 pips and about $1 per pip per lot; if 1 pip is $0.10, it is 10 pips and about $10 per pip per lot. Set the calculator to your symbol specifications.

Formula: P/L = Lots × Ounces per Lot × Price Move | Pips = |Price Move| ÷ Broker Pip Size | Pip Value per Lot = Ounces per Lot × Broker Pip Size
There is no single pip convention for every XAUUSD broker. On a 100-ounce contract, a $0.01 pip is about $1 per pip per 1.00 lot; a $0.10 pip is about $10. Confirm the broker's pip size and contract size, then enter them above.
A $10 move on 1 standard lot (100 oz) = $1,000 profit or loss. That's why lot sizing on gold matters so much — small moves have large dollar consequences.
Gold's contract size, quote increment, pip convention, and account currency can differ by broker. For example, on a 100-ounce contract a $1 price move is about $100 per 1.00 lot before costs. Check the symbol specification and use the broker-defined pip size.
