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.
