A pip value calculator your readers can use without leaving your page. Copy one line of HTML and it runs inside your article.
Pip value is where most forex beginners quietly lose the plot. They understand that a pip is the fourth decimal place, and they understand that a stop-loss is measured in pips, but converting that into money in their own account currency involves a step that nobody explains well: the pip value is denominated in the quote currency, and if that is not the currency of the account, it has to be converted. This widget does the whole chain in one box, so a reader on your page can see what one pip is actually worth on the trade they are thinking about.
Publishers usually solve this with a static table, which works until a reader trades a pair the table does not cover or an account currency the table assumed away. A calculator does not have that problem. Your readers pick the pair, the lot size and their account currency, and the widget returns the per-pip figure alongside the workings.
It is particularly useful on pages aimed at traders outside the dollar bloc. A ZAR-denominated account trading EUR/USD has two conversion steps rather than one, and that is exactly the case most global pip calculators get wrong or refuse to handle. The same applies to accounts in rupees, pesos, ringgit or naira: the logic is identical once the conversion is handled honestly.
Appearance is controlled from the iframe URL. Set a light or dark theme, match your accent colour, hide the title bar when your own heading already says what the tool is, and choose whether the calculation breakdown appears. Nothing is stored server side, so two pages on your site can use two different configurations of the same widget without conflict.
Free for any site, including commercial ones. Keep the small credit line at the bottom of the widget so readers can find the full version. Nothing is stored about the people who use it. See the disclaimer.
| Parameter | Values | What it does |
|---|---|---|
theme | auto, light, dark | Default follows the reader's own system setting, so the widget looks right on a dark site and a light one without you choosing. |
accent | Six hex digits, e.g. accent=1A56DB | Recolours the header bar and the primary button to match your brand. |
header | 1 or 0 | Set to 0 to hide the title bar when your page already has a heading above the widget. |
breakdown | 1 or 0 | Set to 0 to hide the calculation breakdown for a more compact block. |
corners | 1 or 0 | Set to 0 for square corners if your design has no rounding anywhere else. |
width | full | Removes the 520px maximum so the widget stretches to its container. |
Parameters are added to the iframe URL as a normal query string, for example
/embed/position-size-calculator.html?theme=dark&accent=1A56DB&header=0. The
widget builder lets you set all of them visually and hands you the finished code.
The widget takes a currency pair, a position size in lots and the account currency, then returns the value of a one-pip move for that position. It handles the JPY convention where a pip is the second decimal place rather than the fourth, and it applies the conversion into the account currency rather than silently assuming a USD account.
The breakdown shows each stage: pip size for the pair, notional value of the position, pip value in the quote currency, and then the converted figure. Traders who have been guessing at the relationship between lot size and risk can usually see the link for the first time when they watch the numbers move together.
Sits naturally inside any lesson that mentions pips, stops or lot sizes, and saves you writing a conversion table you will have to maintain.
Readers comparing spreads in pips need a way to turn that into money. This does it without sending them to a competitor's tool.
If your audience trades in a currency other than the dollar, a pip calculator that handles their account currency properly is genuinely hard to find.
The full library of free trading widgets has more than seventy tools, and the widget builder lets you preview and configure any of them before you copy the code.
All the majors and minors, the common crosses, and the rand pairs that most international calculators omit, including USD/ZAR, EUR/ZAR and GBP/ZAR. Because the pip value calculation is arithmetic rather than a lookup, unusual pairs work as long as the reader supplies the rate.
Yes. For yen pairs a pip is the second decimal place, not the fourth, and the widget applies that convention automatically rather than leaving the reader to spot a result that is out by a factor of one hundred. This is the most common failure in hand-built pip tables.
That is the main reason it exists. The reader selects an account currency and the widget performs the conversion step from the quote currency into it, showing that conversion explicitly in the breakdown so the number can be checked rather than trusted blindly.
The widget carries a small credit line at the bottom. Leaving it in place is the condition of free use. It is one line of small text and it does not compete with your own branding, but it is how the tool stays free for everyone using it.
Yes. The widget is a static file with no licence check, so it works the same inside a members area as it does on a public page. Bear in mind that if your readers are behind a login, search engines will not see the page, so the widget will not bring you any search traffic there.
The iframe would fail to load and your page would show an empty space where the widget sits. If that is a risk you would rather not carry on a critical page, set a fixed height on the iframe so the layout does not shift, or use the tool as a linked resource instead of an embed.
