GBPJPY Pip Calculator Example

The best way to explain how the GBPJPY calculator works is to show an example. I will make a few examples so you can see the difference in calculations.

First example is when you have GBPJPY currency pair with GBP as a deposit currency:

• Number of pips: 1
• Instrument: GBP/JPY
• Lot size: 1.00 (100,000 units)
• Deposit currency: GBP
• GBPJPY pip size: 0.01

Second example is when you have GBPJPY currency pair with JPY as a deposit currency:

• Number of pips: 1
• Instrument: GBP/JPY
• Lot size: 1.00 (100,000 units)
• Deposit currency: JPY
• GBPJPY pip size: 0.01

How to Calculate Pips for GBP/JPY

To calculate pips for GBP/JPY you need to use following formula which defines the pip value:

For deposit currency which is equal to base currency, GBP:

Pip value = (Pip / Current market price) x Lot size

For deposit currency which is equal to quote currency, JPY:

Pip value = Pip x lot size

GBPJPY Pip Value

Now with the formula you have you need to use the first formula where the deposit currency is GBP.

Pip Value for Base Currency

For deposit currency which is equal to base currency, GBP, pip value will be equal to:

Pip value = (Pip / Current market price) x Lot size

Here are other data you need:

• Number of pips: 1
• Instrument: GBP/JPY = 160.927
• Lot size: 1.00 (100,000 units)
• Deposit currency: GBP
• GBPJPY pip size: 0.01

Now, when you put all the data in the formula you get:

Pip value = (Pip / Current market price) x Lot size

Pip value  = (0.01 / 160.927) x 100,000

Pip value = (6.21e-5) x 100,000

Pip value = £6.21

Pip Value for Quote Currency

For deposit currency which is equal to quote currency, JPY, pip value will be equal to:

Pip value = Pip x Lot size

Here are other data you need:

• Number of pips: 1
• Instrument: GBP/JPY = 160.927
• Lot size: 1.00 (100,000 units)
• Deposit currency: JPY
• GBPJPY pip size: 0.01

Now, when you put all the data in the formula you get:

Pip value = Pip x Lot size

Pip value = 0.01 x 100,000

Pip value = ¥1,000

Pip Value for Third Currency

Third case is when you have a GBPJPY currency pair, but the deposit currency is USD. Which is not GBP or JPY.

This case requires that you make more calculations. If you use the GBPJPY calculator then the whole calculation is done by the pip calculator.

But, if you want to do it manually, then you need to use the following process.

First:

• decide in which currency you will calculate the pip value. Will that be GBP or JPY

Let’s use GBP. The formula for the pip value will be:

• Number of pips: 1
• Instrument: GBP/JPY = 160.927
• Lot size: 1.00 (100,000 units)
• Deposit currency: GBP
• GBPJPY pip size: 0.01

Pip value = (Pip / Current market price) x Lot size

Pip value = (0.01 / 160.927) x 100,000

Pip value = (6.21e-5) x 100,000

Pip value = £6.21

Second:

Now, you need to use the GBP/USD currency pair so you can extract USD pip value from it.

Current market price for the GBP/USD = 1.23280. Which gives us GBP = 1.23280 USD.

This is the same as 1 GBP = 1.23280 USD.

So, the formula would be:

Pip value (USD) = Pip value (GBP) x (GBP/USD)

Pip value (USD) = 6.21 x 1.23280

Pip value (USD) = 7.65

How Do You Calculate GBP/JPY Pip Profits?

With the above calculated you can calculate GBP/JPY pip profit.

Let’s say you have an open SELL order on the market with the GBP/JPY = 160.00.

And you want to close the trade at GBP/JPY = 160.20.

The price difference in pips is:

Pips = |Entry price – Exit price|

Pips = |160.00 – 160.20|

Pips = 0.20

You can see the difference is 20 pips between open and close price.

Now, the profit for 20 pips is:

Profit = Pip value x Pips

Profit = 7.65 x 20

Profit = $153

If you want to use GBP as a deposit currency then the pip value is £6.21:

Profit = Pip value x Pips

Profit = 6.21 x 20

Profit = £124,2
