GER40 (DAX 40) Position Size and Point Value Calculator

This calculator turns a GER40 lot size into a dollar value per point, so you can size a position against a stop-loss distance instead of guessing. Enter the number of points a trade moves and it multiplies that out using the instrument's contract size and pip value in USD.

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.
