USDPLN Position Size, Pip Value and Margin Calculator
This page works out position size, pip value and margin for USDPLN, an exotic currency pair, using the numbers you enter rather than a fixed rule of thumb. Because USDPLN pip value depends on the PLN/USD rate, converting it by hand is error-prone, so the calculator does that conversion for you.

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.

What is the pip value for a 0.01 lot USDPLN position?
A 0.01 lot is a micro lot, so each pip of movement changes the position's value by $0.026709. Multiply that by the number of pips the price moves to get the dollar change.
How do I use this as a USDPLN lot size calculator?
Enter your account currency, your risk amount, and a stop-loss distance in pips; the calculator converts that into a lot size using the standard contract size of 100,000 USD. Widening or tightening the stop changes the lot size it suggests.
How does the USDPLN margin calculator work?
It multiplies your lot size by the contract size (100,000 USD) and the current price, then divides by your broker's leverage for USDPLN. Leverage and margin requirements vary by broker, so confirm the exact figure with yours.
Does this page estimate my profit on a USDPLN trade?
No, it multiplies a price move you supply, in pips, by the pip value for your chosen lot size to show what that move is worth in dollars. It does not predict where the price will go.
What are the swap rates for USDPLN?
