Quick Answer

Gold (XAU/USD) pip size is $0.01 — so 1 pip on a standard 100oz lot = $1. A $1 move in the gold price is 100 pips, so it is worth $100 on 1 lot — whatever the price level. Spreads typically run 0.3–1.5 pips ($0.30–$1.50 per lot). Use the calculator above for your exact lot size.

Pip Value Calculator Formula

Pip Value = Pip Size × Contract Size × Lots × USD Rate

Example (XAU/USD): 1 lot: 0.01 × 100 = $1.00 per pip

Gold is highly sensitive to geopolitical events, Fed policy expectations, and USD strength. On a standard lot (100 oz), each $1 move = $100 P&L.
