XAUUSD Profit Calculator – Calculate Gold Profit & Loss

It estimates the profit or loss of a gold (XAUUSD) trade based on entry price, exit price, lot size, contract size and optional trading costs. It shows gross P&L, net P&L, price movement, break-even price, and supports partial-close and find-exit calculations. Results are estimates — your broker's trade history is authoritative.

For a BUY: gross P&L = (exit − entry) × lots × contract size. For a SELL: gross P&L = (entry − exit) × lots × contract size. Net P&L subtracts commission, swap and other fees. The result is in USD by default; a manual conversion rate converts it to your account currency.

There is no single profit amount for 0.01 lot. It depends on how far XAUUSD moves. With an illustrative 100 oz contract, 0.01 lot = 1 oz exposure. A favorable $1 move ≈ $1 gross P&L; a $10 move ≈ $10; a $20 move ≈ $20 — before costs. Actual profit changes with the live gold price and your broker's specifications.

With a 100 oz contract, 0.01 lot controls 1 oz. A $1 gold move therefore produces approximately $1 in gross P&L (favorable or adverse). Before trading costs.

With a 100 oz contract, 0.10 lot controls 10 oz. A $10 gold move produces approximately $100 in gross P&L (10 oz × $10). Before trading costs.

With a 100 oz contract, 1.00 lot controls 100 oz. A $1 gold move produces approximately $100 in gross P&L. A $10 move produces approximately $1,000.

For a BUY, profit = (exit price − entry price) × lots × contract size. The result is positive (profit) when the exit is above the entry, and negative (loss) when the exit is below the entry. Subtract trading costs to get net P&L.

For a SELL, profit = (entry price − exit price) × lots × contract size. The result is positive (profit) when the exit is below the entry, and negative (loss) when the exit is above the entry. Subtract trading costs to get net P&L.

100 troy ounces per 1.00 lot is common, but not universal. Some brokers use 10 oz, 1 oz, or other values. Check your broker's XAUUSD symbol specification (in MT4/MT5: right-click the symbol → Specification). The calculator's contract size field is editable.

No. 100 oz is the most common contract size for standard gold lots, but some brokers use different values. Always verify in your platform's symbol specification.

Commissions reduce net P&L. The calculator applies commission per 1.00 lot multiplied by your trade size, then subtracts it (along with swap and other fees) from gross P&L to produce net P&L. A trade that is profitable on a gross basis may be a net loss after costs.

If your entry and exit prices are actual filled prices, the spread is already reflected in those execution prices — do not subtract it again. If you use chart/mid prices, the result may differ from your broker's trade history. Using actual filled prices avoids double-counting.

The break-even exit price is the entry price adjusted for costs. For a BUY: break-even = entry + (costs in USD ÷ exposure in oz). For a SELL: break-even = entry − (costs in USD ÷ exposure). With zero costs, break-even equals the entry price.

Yes. Use the Partial Close mode to enter up to 4 exit prices with allocation percentages or lots. The calculator returns the gross and net P&L for the closed portion, the weighted average exit, remaining open lots, and a per-exit breakdown. Remaining open lots are not assigned hypothetical P&L.

Yes — the Partial Close mode supports 1 to 4 exits. Each exit has its own price and allocation. The calculator shows the realized P&L for each exit and the total for the closed portion.

Yes. Use the Find Exit Price mode. Enter your desired net profit, and the calculator returns the required XAUUSD exit price, accounting for your entered costs and exposure.

Common reasons include a different contract size, executed bid/ask prices vs chart prices, commission, swap, account-currency conversion, broker rounding, partial fills, slippage, and symbol specification differences. Always verify against your broker's trade history.

No. For the same lot size, contract size, entry and exit, leverage does not change the gross P&L produced by the price movement. Leverage changes the margin required to hold the position, not the P&L. Higher leverage can let you open larger exposure with less collateral — which can increase risk — but it does not change the P&L of an unchanged position.
