How do I calculate how much pip I will get? ›

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) makes the decision about how much PIP you get and for how long. It's not possible to say exactly what you'll get before you apply because the DWP bases the amount you get on your application, and the length of your award on the likelihood of your condition changing.

A pip usually equals 0.0001 of a Forex pair, so 50 pips equals 0.005, 100 pips—0.01. If one pip is worth $5, 50 pips are worth $250, 100 pips—$500.

Divide the size of a pip by the exchange rate and then multiply by the trade value (or lot size). For example, 0.0001 divided by a USD/CAD exchange rate of 1.2829 and multiplied by a standard lot size of 100,000 results in a pip value of $7.79.

A lot is the lowest amount of security a trader can exchange, whereas a pip is the smallest amount a currency can change. For US-dollar-related currency pairs, one lot is $100,000, and a pip unit is $0.0001. It is the most often used pip unit, and traders use it for practically all currency pairs.

Calculating forex price moves

We open a position size of 10,000 units and calculate the pip value as follows: 10,000 (units) x 0.0001 (one pip) = $1 per pip. When you open a position of BUY and the market acts in your favor every pip movement will earn you $1.00 and the visa versa is true if you SELL.

For example, by risking 50 pips to try to gain 50 pips, where the 50 pips at risk is the equivalent to the value of the account and the 50 pip reward would mean doubling the account. For the first example, you would divide the balance of your account by 50 pips, to get a value per pip.

The pip value is defined by the currency pair being traded, the size of the trade and the exchange rate of the currency pair. To calculate pip value, divide one pip (usually 0.0001) by the current market value of the forex pair.

In this instance, one pip is a movement of 0.0001, so the trader has made a profit of 20 pips (1.0568 – 1.0548 = 0.0020 which is the equivalent of 20 pips). To calculate the profit or loss on the trade, we multiply the number of pips gained by the value of each pip.

For example, some forex pairs move 100 pips per day on average, allowing traders to profit from the movement. If a trader even makes 10 pips per day daily, it can result in significant profit, based on the number of lots traded.

In the end, because PIP coverage is affordable, it's no-fault insurance, and it covers damages beyond just medical bills, PIP is good coverage to have. We recommend maxing out the amount you can get, too (e.g. $10,000).
