FxPro Margin & Pip Calculator | Jamaica 2026
FxPro provides trading calculators so you can work out margin, pip value and potential profit or loss before placing a trade.
Open FxPro Account →This is where a trade is priced before it exists, and where the same trade can be priced twice - once for each account. Margin is not part of the difference: it is the position size divided by your leverage, so at 1:200 a position holds back 0.5% of its value and at 1:100 twice that, whichever account books it. What the calculators contribute to the comparison is the divisor. Take what one pip is worth for the instrument and size you are planning, divide the $7.00 round-turn commission by it, and the fee becomes a distance - the spread advantage Raw+ has to deliver before it pays for itself. On a standard lot of a USD-quoted major that division gives seven tenths of a pip. FxPro's free margin, pip, profit/loss and swap calculators live inside the platforms. Leverage and margin cut both ways: a smaller margin controls a larger position and a bigger potential loss.
Measured contract values for your calculations
Read live from FxPro’s MT5 Raw+ feed — the contract size, tick value, lot limits and average daily range behind any margin, pip-value, stop-size or profit calculation:
| Instrument | Contract size | Tick value (USD) | Min lot | Max lot | Avg daily range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | 100,000 | $1.00 | 0.01 | 500 | 45.5 pips |
| GBP/USD | 100,000 | $1.00 | 0.01 | 500 | 53.9 pips |
| AUD/USD | 100,000 | $1.00 | 0.01 | 500 | 42.8 pips |
| USD/CAD | 100,000 | $0.72 | 0.01 | 500 | 65.6 pips |
| USD/JPY | 100,000 | $0.65 | 0.01 | 500 | 141.2 pips |
| XAU/USD (Gold) | 100 | $1.00 | 0.01 | 500 | 10838.1 pips |
Tick value is the cash change per minimum price move, per standard lot; the 14-day average daily range helps you size stops and targets. Account stop-out levels (measured): margin call at 10%, stop-out at 0% — confirm the live values in your terminal.
Work out your margin
Margin = position size ÷ leverage. Approximate, for USD-quoted forex pairs (1 standard lot = 100,000 units); margin is shown in USD and varies with the live price. Your exact margin appears in your FxPro platform.

Plan before you trade
Use the calculators alongside our spreads and swap rates pages to estimate your total trading costs.
Open FxPro Account →Margin is settled before the account is chosen
Margin is collateral rather than a cost, and the formula that produces it has no room for an account name: position size divided by leverage. At 1:200 a position holds back half a percent of its value; at 1:100, one percent. Move the same trade from Standard to Raw+ and the figure the calculator returns does not change by a cent.
So margin is a shared input, not a point of comparison. It answers whether the position fits in the balance and says nothing about which of the two ways of charging for it comes to less.
Turning a commission into pips
The two halves of the comparison arrive in different units. The commission arrives in money - $3.50 per lot per side, $7.00 on a round turn of one lot. The spread difference arrives in pips. One has to be converted before they can be set against each other, and the pip calculator is the converter.
Divide the round-turn commission by what one pip is worth at the size being traded and the fee becomes a distance. On a standard lot of a USD-quoted major that gives seven tenths of a pip; on a different contract size or a different quote currency the divisor changes and the distance changes with it. The comparison it feeds is on our spreads and costs page.
One trade, two columns
Fix the instrument and the size. Take the margin, so the position is known to fit. Read the pip value for that size. Then write two columns: in the first, the Standard spread multiplied by that pip value; in the second, the raw spread multiplied by the same pip value, plus $7.00 per lot of round-turn commission.
Anything that lands in both columns - margin, contract size, an overnight charge if the trade is held - can be entered once and then ignored, because equal terms cannot change which column is smaller. The rows that are equal by construction are listed on our trading conditions page.
The break-even gap does not move with position size
| Position size | Round-turn commission | What one pip is worth | Break-even gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.00 lot | $7.00 | $10 | 0.7 pips |
| 0.50 lot | $3.50 | $5 | 0.7 pips |
| 0.10 lot | $0.70 | $1 | 0.7 pips |
USD-quoted major, where one standard lot is 100,000 units. Commission and pip value scale with size in the same proportion, so the gap at which the two accounts come to the same total is identical at every size. The per-side rate applies from 0.1 lot; below it a minimum charge applies instead.
