## About LeverCalc

LeverCalc is a free, privacy-friendly suite of trading calculators built for retail forex, gold and crypto traders. Every tool shows the formula it uses, a worked numeric example, and a short FAQ, so the result can be verified by hand rather than taken on faith.

**How the calculators work**

- *Position Size* = (Account Balance x Risk Percentage) / Stop-Loss Distance in Pips. With a $10,000 account risking 1% and a 20-pip stop on EUR/USD, position size is 5 standard lots.
- *Pip Value* = Position Size (lots) x Pip Value per Lot. For most USD-quoted pairs 1 standard lot = $10 per pip; for JPY pairs it is roughly $9.20 per pip.
- *Margin Required* = (Position Size x Contract Size x Current Price) / Leverage. At 1:100 leverage, $10,000 of notional requires $100 margin.
- *Profit / Loss* = (Exit Price - Entry Price) x Position Size x Contract Size, for long positions, inverted for shorts.

**Trading context**

- Typical retail risk is 1-2% of account equity per trade; a risk manager using a position size calculator keeps a losing streak survivable.
- Leverage magnifies returns and losses equally. Margin requirements change with broker conditions, so always confirm against your own broker's specification sheet.
- Pip value depends on the quote currency of the pair and the account currency, which is why gold (XAU/USD) and crypto pairs need their own pip or contract-size assumptions.

**Use cases**

- Sizing a new position before placing a stop-loss.
- Converting a risk-percentage rule into exact lots for a specific account balance.
- Checking how much margin a 1:500 position actually consumes before the margin call level.
- Estimating profit or loss in account currency for a pending trade order.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is a position size calculator?**
A position size calculator determines the correct lot size for a trade from your account balance, the percentage you are willing to risk, and the distance to your stop loss. It converts an abstract risk rule into an exact order size, which is the single most effective way to keep a losing streak from ending the account.

**How is pip value calculated?**
Pip value equals position size in lots multiplied by the pip value per lot. For most forex pairs a standard lot of 100,000 units moves $10 per pip; for pairs quoted in Japanese yen a standard lot moves roughly $9.20 per pip. Gold and crypto contracts use their own contract sizes.

**How much margin do I need at 1:100 leverage?**
Margin required equals notional position value divided by leverage. A $100,000 position at 1:100 requires $1,000 margin, and the same position at 1:500 requires $200, though brokers apply their own minimum margin rules.

**Do I need an account to use LeverCalc?**
No. Every calculator is free, needs no registration, and runs entirely in your browser. Nothing about your trades is sent to a server.

**Can I use LeverCalc on mobile?**
Yes. The calculators are responsive and work on phones and tablets in any modern browser, so you can size a position from a trading app on the move.

## Formula Reference Table

Every LeverCalc tool exposes the exact formula it runs, a worked numeric example and the assumptions behind it, so a result can be verified by hand instead of taken on faith.

| Calculator | Formula | Inputs | Output |
|------------|---------|--------|--------|
| Position Size | (Account Balance x Risk %) / Stop-Loss Distance in Pips | Balance, risk %, stop distance | Lot size in standard and mini lots |
| Pip Value | Position Size (lots) x Pip Value per Lot | Lot size, pair, contract size | Currency value of one pip |
| Profit / Loss | (Exit Price - Entry Price) x Position Size x Contract Size | Entry, exit, size, direction | Profit or loss in account currency |
| Leverage | (Position Size x Contract Size x Price) / Leverage | Notional, leverage, price | Margin required |
| Currency | Amount x Live Mid-Market Rate | Amount, source pair, target pair | Converted amount |

## Worked Numeric Examples

**Position size, USD-quoted pair.** A $10,000 account risking 1% with a 20-pip stop on EUR/USD gives (10000 x 0.01) / 20 = 5 standard lots.

**Pip value on a standard lot.** For most USD-quoted pairs 1 standard lot of 100,000 units moves $10 per pip. For JPY-quoted pairs the same 100,000 units moves roughly $9.20 per pip because the quote currency is weaker.

**Margin at 1:100 leverage.** A $100,000 notional position requires $1,000 of margin at 1:100 and $200 at 1:500. Brokers apply their own minimum margin rules on top of this.

**Profit on a 50-pip move.** A 2-lot position on EUR/USD moving 50 pips in favour yields roughly $1,000 in profit, because 2 lots x $10 per pip x 50 pips = $1,000.

## Risk and Margin Notes

- Typical retail risk is 1-2% of account equity per trade; a position size calculator keeps a losing streak survivable.
- Leverage magnifies returns and losses equally, so a 1:500 position behaves identically to 1:10 in percentage terms.
- Margin requirements change with broker conditions, so always confirm against your own broker's specification sheet.
- Pip value depends on the quote currency of the pair and the currency of your own account, which is why gold (XAU/USD) and crypto pairs need their own pip or contract-size assumptions.
- Results exclude swap, commission and slippage unless those values are entered manually.
