How We Make Money

PipGauge is free to use. The current production build is intentionally ad-free.

The calculators on PipGauge are free, with no signup and no paywall. This production build does not include sponsored broker cards, paid placements, affiliate links, or marketing tracking. The site currently focuses on calculator utility, dated contract specifications, formula notes and risk disclosure.

Current status. PipGauge does not show ads in this build. No calculator result is influenced by a broker, advertiser or commercial relationship.

What we will and will not do

  • We will not publish empty “best broker” tables, fake rankings, or broker cards without real, verifiable data.
  • We will not describe a broker as “best” or “top” without a published scoring method behind the claim.
  • We will keep broker references tied to visible assumptions: contract size, value per point, leverage, spread type, source and capture date.
  • We will show the regulated entity, a current retail-loss-rate risk warning where available, and the date information was captured beside any broker data we publish.

What this build links to

Calculator pages link to internal methodology, risk disclosure, broker contract specifications and related calculators. External broker links are not part of this ad-free production build.

Our independence

How broker data is presented is set by our published broker comparison methodology and source discipline, not by paid placement. If you ever find a result or table that appears biased, tell us and we will fix it.
