Pip values for non-USD-quoted instruments are recalculated at the live FX rate when this page loads — the line next to the calculator shows which rate is in use, and falls back to the rate recorded at build time if that lookup fails. Swap is one broker's snapshot taken on the date in the table above; it changes daily and differs by broker, so check your own contract spec for the figure that applies to you.

CADCHF is quoted in Swiss francs, so how does the calculator give a USD pip value?
CADCHF is quoted in CHF, so the raw pip value is calculated in francs first. The calculator then converts that figure to USD using the current exchange rate so you can compare it directly to a USD/CHF pip value or any other pair.
How do I calculate position size for CADCHF?
Decide how much you're willing to risk in dollars, divide that by the number of pips between your entry and stop-loss, then divide by the pip value per lot to get your lot size. This calculator does that arithmetic for you once you enter your risk amount and stop distance.
How is margin calculated for CADCHF?
