What it assumes: a pip is the fourth decimal, the second in yen pairs, and $1 on gold, as our charts count it. A standard lot is 100,000 units, or 100 ounces of gold. Your broker's contract sizes may differ. A sum, not advice.

## What is the AUDUSD pip value?

The AUDUSD pip value is the amount of money one pip of movement in the pair is worth on your position. On a dollar account it is $10.00 on a standard lot, $1.00 on a mini lot and $0.10 on a micro lot, and it stays there at any price, because AUDUSD is quoted in dollars. The latest close in our data was 0.69251 on 9 November 2026.

Diagram: a pip is paid in the pair's second currency, and your account turns it into its own. The real day is below.

The pair is the Australian dollar against the US dollar. The price tells you how many dollars one Australian dollar costs, a pip is the fourth decimal place (0.0001), and a standard lot is 100,000 Australian dollars. Everything below follows from those three facts and from the price. The figures are arithmetic from the site's [pip calculator](/tools/pip-calculator/), which this page is set to open on AUDUSD, and they say nothing about whether a trade is worth taking.

## How is the AUDUSD pip value worked out?

A pip is 0.0001, and a standard lot of AUDUSD is 100,000 Australian dollars. One pip of movement on one lot is therefore 0.0001 times 100,000, which is 10.00 US dollars, and AUDUSD is quoted in dollars, so no conversion is needed. That is the whole sum: $10.00 for a lot, a tenth of that for a mini lot ($1.00) and a hundredth for a micro lot ($0.10).

A price change leaves it alone. If AUDUSD traded at 0.62326 or at 0.76176, a pip would still be $10.00 on a lot, because the profit is counted in the same currency the price is written in. This is why a dollar-quoted pair is the easy case for a dollar account, and why its value changes only when your account is in another currency.

## What is the AUDUSD pip value on a standard, mini and micro lot?

A standard lot is 100,000 units, a mini lot 10,000 and a micro lot 1,000, and the pip value scales with the size in a straight line. The table gives the dollar value of a pip on each size at the latest close of 0.69251, and what a stop of 5, 10, 20 and 50 pips comes to on each.

| Size | Lots | Units | One pip | 5 pips | 10 pips | 20 pips | 50 pips |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| standard lot | 1.00 | 100,000 | $10.00 | $50.00 | $100.00 | $200.00 | $500.00 |
| mini lot | 0.10 | 10,000 | $1.00 | $5.00 | $10.00 | $20.00 | $50.00 |
| micro lot | 0.01 | 1,000 | $0.10 | $0.50 | $1.00 | $2.00 | $5.00 |

Brokers also sell sizes in between. A position of 0.25 lots is worth $2.50 a pip and one of 0.05 lots $0.50. Check your broker's contract specification before relying on a table: a few brokers call a different number of units a lot.

## What is the AUDUSD pip value on a euro, sterling or yen account?

The dollar figure above is for a dollar account. If your account is in another currency, your broker converts the dollars at its own rate, so the same pip is worth a different number. The table converts AUDUSD at the latest daily close of each currency against the dollar in our data, dated 9 November 2026.

| Account currency | One pip on 1.00 lot | 0.10 lots | 0.01 lots |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| USD | 10.00 USD | 1.00 USD | 0.10 USD |
| EUR | 8.91 EUR | 0.89 EUR | 0.09 EUR |
| GBP | 7.44 GBP | 0.74 GBP | 0.07 GBP |
| AUD | 14.44 AUD | 1.44 AUD | 0.14 AUD |
| NZD | 17.76 NZD | 1.78 NZD | 0.18 NZD |
| CAD | 14.12 CAD | 1.41 CAD | 0.14 CAD |
| CHF | 8.20 CHF | 0.82 CHF | 0.08 CHF |
| JPY | 1,579 JPY | 158 JPY | 16 JPY |

A rate that is a day old is good enough to size a trade and not good enough to settle one. The conversion moves all day, so treat these figures as close and not exact, and let the platform's own number win when the two differ.

## How many pips did AUDUSD move on a real day?

Friday, 6 November 2026 is a day we hold in full: the 15-minute candles from 17:00 to 17:00 New York time, 96 of them. AUDUSD ran from a low of 0.68538 at 09:15 to a high of 0.69419 at 19:30, a range of 88.1 pips, and closed the day at 0.68616.

[![AUDUSD on Friday, 6 November 2026: the day's range in pips, from 0.68538 to 0.69419](/seo/pip-value-audusd/audusd-pip-value-20261106-day-in-pips.webp)](/seo/pip-value-audusd/audusd-pip-value-20261106-day-in-pips.webp)

AUDUSD, Friday, 6 November 2026, real 15-minute candles from 17:00 to 17:00 New York time. The low was 0.68538 at 09:15 and the high 0.69419 at 19:30: 88.1 pips, $88.10 on a mini lot. The chart was drawn afterwards, and a move seen afterwards is not a setup.

Nobody trades the whole range, but it is the right yardstick for what a pip count means in money. On a standard lot that day was $881.00 from low to high, on a mini lot $88.10 and on a micro lot $8.81. A range is a distance on the chart and not a result: a trade that caught all of it would have needed the low and the high exactly, and none of the figures here say anything about how to find them.

## How many pips does AUDUSD move in an average day?

Over the last 20 completed trading days to 9 November 2026, the average range from high to low was 51.3 pips. Over the last 10 it was 57.0, and over the last 5, 74.7. Days turn over at 17:00 New York time. The table gives each window in dollars on the three sizes, using the pip values above.

| Window | Average range | 1.00 lot | 0.10 lots | 0.01 lots |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Last 20 days | 51.3 pips | $513.00 | $51.30 | $5.13 |
| Last 10 days | 57.0 pips | $570.00 | $57.00 | $5.70 |
| Last 5 days | 74.7 pips | $747.00 | $74.70 | $7.47 |

A window is an average and not a forecast. Windows disagree because the recent days were quieter or busier than the month: the five-day figure is above the twenty-day one by 23.4 pips. The same measure for the other majors is in the site's daily range data.

## Which hour of the day does AUDUSD move most?

A pip is worth the same all day, but the number of them on offer is not. We measured the high-to-low range of every hourly candle, grouped by the hour of the New York day, over 1,125 hourly candles from 6 September 2026 to 10 November 2026. The largest average range came in the hour from 08:00 New York time, 13.4 pips, which on a mini lot is $13.44. The smallest came from 17:00, at 3.7 pips.

| Session (New York time) | Hours | Average hourly range |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Asia | 17:00 to 02:59 | 7.8 pips |
| London | 03:00 to 07:59 | 8.7 pips |
| The London and New York overlap | 08:00 to 11:59 | 12.3 pips |
| New York's afternoon | 12:00 to 16:59 | 7.1 pips |

The sessions are averages of their hours, so a long session is not larger than a short one for being long. A quiet hour is not a bad hour to hold a position, and a busy one is not a good hour to open one: this is a count of movement and says nothing about direction. The spread, which is wider in thin hours, is a cost on top of all of it and is not in these numbers.

## Worked examples: what a AUDUSD stop costs and how many lots a risk allows

Take a stop of 20 pips. On a standard lot it costs 20 times $10.00, which is $200.00. On a mini lot it costs $20.00 and on a micro lot $2.00. The same 20 pips are three different sums of money, and the pip value is the bridge.

Now turn it round: if the sum is fixed, the size follows. With a 25-pip stop, risking $50.00 allows 0.20 lots, risking $100.00 allows 0.40 lots and risking $250.00 allows 1.00 lots, rounded down to the nearest 0.01. The working for the first is 50 divided by 25 times $10.00. The [forex lot size calculator](/tools/forex-lot-size-calculator/) does this with your balance and your risk per trade, and the [risk reward calculator](/tools/risk-reward-calculator/) turns a stop and a target in pips into a ratio.

A stop is a distance chosen from the chart, and nothing here chooses it. The 51.3-pip average day is a reminder that a 5-pip stop sits well inside ordinary noise and a 51-pip stop is a whole average day, and which is right for a trade is a matter for the trade.

## Which mistakes change the AUDUSD pip value?

The most common is counting in points. Many platforms quote a fifth decimal, so AUDUSD appears as 0.69251, and ten of those points make one pip. Reading a 50-point move as 50 pips overstates the money by ten times. The second is assuming the dollar figure holds for a non-dollar account, when the table above shows it does not. The third is using a broker's lot that is not 100,000 units without changing the sum.

## Where do the AUDUSD figures on this page come from?

The pip values are computed by the same function the [pip calculator](/tools/pip-calculator/) runs. The price and the daily ranges come from the site's daily data as of 9 November 2026, the hourly ranges from 1,125 hourly candles from 6 September 2026 to 10 November 2026, and Friday, 6 November 2026 from 15-minute candles. Dukascopy bid prices supply the candles. Nothing on the page is typed by hand, and the page is rebuilt from the data when the data moves. For margin rather than pips, see the [leverage and margin calculator](/tools/leverage-calculator/).

Trading leveraged products carries a high risk of losing more than you can afford. Nothing on this page is advice, a pip value does not make a trade safe, and a figure worked from past candles says nothing about the next day.
