XAGUSD Profit Calculator
Calculate gross and net XAG/USD profit or loss for a buy or sell across three entered exit prices. The model keeps contract ounces, silver pip convention, broker tick, account conversion and verified costs explicit.
Enter the silver position and exit scenarios
Prices are USD per troy ounce. Use effective fills for a completed trade or clearly entered assumptions for a hypothetical one.

Each row uses the same entered direction, volume, contract, conversion and total cost assumption.

How XAGUSD profit and loss is calculated
Silver exposure (oz) = lots × contract size (oz per lot)
Signed move = (exit − entry) × direction sign
Gross USD P/L = signed move × silver exposure
Gross account P/L = gross USD P/L ÷ USD per account-currency unit
Net account P/L = gross account P/L − entered costs
Profit is calculated from the entered price move and troy-ounce exposure. The selected pip size is used only to describe that move in pips, so switching between USD 0.001 and USD 0.01 does not change gross or net P/L.
Worked example from the audited fixture
Load the example for a 0.02-lot buy at 30.000 with a 5,000-oz contract. Exposure is 100 oz. At the 29.750 stop, gross P/L is −USD 25 and net P/L after USD 2 costs is −USD 27. At the 30.250 reference exit, gross P/L is USD 25 and net P/L is USD 23. At the 30.500 target, net P/L is USD 48.
Covering USD 2 of costs over 100 oz requires a USD 0.02 favorable move, so the cost-adjusted buy break-even is 30.020. These are entered scenarios, not executable quotes or projections.
Use and limitations
- Verify contract size and tick size for the exact XAG/USD symbol and account.
- Use effective fills for reconciliation; a chart price may not match the executed side.
- Enter only verified costs and avoid counting spread twice.
- The account conversion is manual and not timestamped.
- Leverage affects margin, not this contract price-move P/L arithmetic.
- The result is not a stop guarantee, position-size recommendation, forecast, expected return or financial advice.
Frequently asked questions
- Apply the buy or sell sign to exit minus entry, multiply by lot volume and contract ounces per lot, convert the USD result into the entered account currency, then subtract entered costs.
- Yes. Enter the stop exit price and the table values that exact-price scenario. It is not a guaranteed loss cap because gaps, spread and slippage are not modeled.
- Multiply USD 1 per ounce by your entered total ounce exposure. Ounce exposure is lots multiplied by the broker contract size.
- No. It changes the displayed pip count for a price move. Gross P/L is calculated directly from the USD-per-ounce move and ounce exposure.
- Convert entered costs to USD, divide by ounce exposure, then add that move to a buy entry or subtract it from a sell entry.
- Not for the same price move, volume and contract. Leverage changes required margin and can affect liquidation or stop-out conditions, which this page does not calculate.
- Lot volume alone does not reveal troy-ounce exposure. Documented silver contract multipliers differ across brokers, accounts and products, changing P/L materially.
- No. It values three entered exit prices and costs. It does not retrieve a quote, predict direction, generate a signal or estimate a probability of reaching any price.

- FXOpen — Contract specifications — primary broker evidence for a 5,000-troy-ounce XAG/USD contract example.
Version 2.0.0 performs deterministic entered-data arithmetic locally. The 5,000-oz example is not a universal broker specification; the calculator does not call a trading server.
