Compare Broker Account Costs With One Consistent Scenario

Q: Does the calculator use live broker spreads?

No. Published broker figures are reference baselines, not live executable quotes. Every spread and commission field remains editable so users can enter current platform values.

Q: How is the estimated trading cost calculated?

The calculator adds spread cost and round-turn commission. Spread cost equals spread in pips multiplied by pip value and traded lots. Round-turn commission equals commission per side multiplied by two and traded lots.

Model spread and commission costs across broker account types without mixing assumptions. Adjust the scenario once, then review comparable monthly-cost estimates.

How the calculation works

Spread cost = spread in pips × pip value per lot × traded lots. Round-turn commission = commission per side × 2 × traded lots.

Why compare account costs?

Different account types can shift trading cost between spread and commission. Using one scenario makes the cost components easier to compare.

How this broker cost calculator works

1 · Spread cost

Spread in pips × pip value per lot × total lots traded.

2 · Commission cost

Commission per side × 2 × total lots traded.

3 · Estimated total

Spread cost + round-turn commission. Annualized cost is monthly estimate × 12.

Compare with consistent assumptions

Compare forex broker account costs without mixing pricing models

This calculator supports account-cost scenarios for Exness, HFM, Tickmill, XM, FBS, Elev8, IC, FirewoodFX, RoboForex, AvaTrade, easyMarkets, Headway, InstaForex and TMGM. It applies one trading-volume scenario across the selected accounts so spread and commission assumptions can be reviewed on a consistent basis.

Broker pricing can vary by symbol, entity, platform, account type and market conditions. The tool therefore distinguishes published baselines from instrument-specific pricing and manual inputs. It is designed for cost modeling and research, not as a broker recommendation or live dealing quote.

Quick answers

Broker Account Cost Calculator FAQ

What does the Broker Account Cost Calculator compare?

It compares modeled spread and round-turn commission costs across supported broker account types using the same lot size, monthly trade count and pip-value scenario.

Does the calculator use live broker spreads?

No. Published figures are reference baselines, not live executable quotes. Every spread and commission field remains editable so you can replace a baseline with the current value shown by your broker.

Why do some broker accounts require manual inputs?

Some brokers publish pricing in instrument-specific, turnover-based or otherwise non-normalized formats. Those rows are intentionally left manual instead of forcing them into a potentially misleading universal cost.

How is the estimated trading cost calculated?

Spread cost equals spread in pips × pip value per lot × traded lots. Round-turn commission equals commission per side × 2 × traded lots. Swap, slippage, conversion fees, taxes and financing adjustments are excluded.
