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.

Profit & Loss Calculator Formula

P&L = (Exit − Entry) ÷ Pip Size × Pip Value × Lots

Example (XAU/USD): Buy 0.02 lots at 4,180.00, sell at 4,248.00: 6,800 pips × $0.02 = +$136.00
