Forex Take-Profit Calculator

Find the take-profit price from a pip target, ratio or profit amount.

Please note: Forex trading carries a high risk of loss, amplified by leverage. Exchange rates must be entered manually — no live market data is used.

What the Forex Take-Profit Calculator does

The take-profit price is your entry plus the target distance in the direction of the trade. Setting it from a risk/reward ratio keeps your strategy statistics consistent across every position.

Formula

  • Pips from ratio = Stop pips × Ratio
  • Pips from amount = Profit ÷ Pip value
  • Target price = Entry ± Pips × Pip size

Frequently asked questions

Should the target respect chart structure?

Yes. A target just beyond a major resistance level rarely fills. Place it slightly inside the obstacle rather than past it.
