GER40 Lot Size Calculator (DAX 40)

Calculate GER40 pip value, points, lot size, margin and profit for any account currency.

GER40 is a CFD on the DAX 40, Germany's benchmark index of 40 large companies listed in Frankfurt, expanded from 30 members in 2021. Many of its constituents are exporters, so it reacts to global trade, Chinese and US demand and the euro exchange rate, as well as to European Central Bank policy and German data such as business sentiment surveys and industrial production. The DAX is a performance index, meaning dividends are reinvested in its calculation. Its busiest hours are the Xetra session, 9:00 to 17:30 Frankfurt time, especially the open and the overlap with the US. The index is priced in euros, so point values are in euros and need converting with EURUSD for a dollar account.

Calculation notes

  • Default: 1 lot = €1 per point; USD value per point = €1 × EURUSD, so $1.10 at EURUSD 1.10.
  • Some brokers use €5, €25 or other values per point; edit the contract size to match your platform.
  • Margin is computed in euros (contract × index level ÷ leverage) and converted to your account currency.
