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.

Spread and swap differ by broker, which changes what a position actually costs you.
Pip value depends on lot size: $12.390038 for a standard lot, $1.239004 for a mini lot, and $0.123900 for a micro lot, all already converted to US dollars. Enter your own lot size in the calculator above to get the exact figure.
What is the pip value for a 0.01 lot in GBPCHF?
A 0.01 lot (micro lot) of GBPCHF is worth $0.123900 per pip, already converted to US dollars. Pip value scales directly with lot size, so a mini lot and a standard lot are proportionally larger.
How do I calculate GBPCHF position size?
Position size comes from three inputs: how much you are willing to risk, your stop-loss distance in pips, and the pip value for the lot size you're considering. Enter these into the calculator to find the lot size that keeps your risk within your target amount.
How is margin calculated for GBPCHF?
Margin is the contract size (100,000 GBP per standard lot) multiplied by the current price, then divided by your account leverage. The calculator applies this automatically once you enter your lot size and leverage.
What are the current GBPCHF swap rates?
XM MT5, 2026-08-02 shows a long swap of 5.35 points and a short swap of -17.75 points, equal to $6.63 and -$21.99 per standard lot per night respectively. Swap changes daily and differs by broker, so check your own broker's contract specification before holding a position overnight.
Does this tool calculate GBPCHF profit?
It multiplies a pip move you enter by the pip value for your lot size, showing what that move would be worth in dollars. It does not predict or estimate the profit of a live trade, since the actual outcome depends on where the market moves.
