What these trading calculators do
A trading calculator turns the details of a planned trade into numbers you can check before you place it. You enter the instrument, the position size, your account currency and the price levels. The tool returns values such as the pip value, the margin required or the result at your stop-loss.
Each card below shows a live result with sample inputs, so you can see what a tool does before you open it. Inside each tool you can change every input to match your own trade.
The section has five groups:
- Trading: pip value, lot size, margin, profit and loss, swap and total trade cost.
- Risk: drawdown recovery, trade series (risk of ruin) and margin call simulation.
- Money: compound interest, inflation, savings and deposit interest, loans and mortgages.
- Gold: karat and tola conversion, and the ounce price converted to PKR per gram.
- Conversion: currency converter and session time converter for Pakistan time.

Where a beginner should start
If forex terms are new to you, learn a few words before using the tools. A pip is the standard small step in a currency price. A lot is the unit of position size. Margin is the money your broker holds while a leveraged position is open. Leverage lets you open a position larger than your deposit, so both gains and losses grow with it.
A sensible order:
- Open the pip value calculator to see how much one pip is worth for a given lot size.
- Use the lot size calculator to find a position size that keeps your possible loss at your stop-loss within the amount you accept.
- Check the margin calculator to see how much of your balance a position will use.
- Try the forex profit calculator to see the result at your target and at your stop.
The trading glossary and trading basics explain the terms in more detail. A demo account lets you test what you calculate without real money.
What an experienced trader will find
Experienced traders usually need tools that look beyond a single trade:
- The trade cost calculator combines spread, commission and swap so you can compare the full cost of holding a position.
- The swap calculator estimates the overnight charge or credit on positions held past rollover.
- The margin call simulator shows the price at which your margin level reaches the margin call and stop-out thresholds you enter.
- The trade series simulator is a forex simulator. It runs many random sequences of trades with your win rate, reward-to-risk and risk per trade, and shows how deep losing streaks can go.
- The drawdown recovery calculator shows how much gain you need to recover from a loss. The required gain is always larger than the loss.

Limits of any calculator
The results are only as accurate as the inputs. Spreads widen, prices gap over weekends and news, and swap rates change. Before you trade, check the current contract specification and conditions with your broker. A simulator shows possible outcomes from your assumptions. It does not predict the market.
Leveraged forex and CFD trading can lose money fast, and you can lose your whole deposit. A calculator helps you measure that risk. It does not remove it.
There is also a legal side in Pakistan: per the SECP, offshore platforms have no Pakistani licence or oversight and offer no legal protection or recourse. In addition, per the SBP, remitting foreign exchange to overseas forex/margin/CFD platforms is not allowed through any payment channel (FERA s.5(1)). See law and regulators before opening any account.
Frequently asked questions
Are these trading calculators free?
Yes. You can use all tools on this page without registering.
Which forex calculator should I use before every trade?
Most traders check position size with the lot size calculator and the required margin with the margin calculator. Together they show your loss at the stop-loss and how much of your balance the trade uses.
Do the calculators use live prices?
Some tools load current rates as sample inputs. You can always type your own prices. Check the live quote on your trading platform before trading.
Is the forex simulator the same as a demo account?
No. The trade series simulator runs statistical sequences from your assumptions. A demo account lets you place practice trades on real market prices.
Can a calculator tell me whether a trade will be profitable?
No. It calculates the outcome at the prices you enter. It cannot tell you which price the market will reach.
