Forex Rebate Calculator
Project entered cash rebates from one or more monthly volume tiers. Declare whether each rate is per eligible side lot or per completed round-turn lot, then choose whether an achieved rate applies to all volume or only inside marginal bands.

How tiered forex rebate arithmetic works
Average monthly round-turn lots = annual round-turn lots ÷ 12
Per-side qualifying units = average monthly round-turn lots × 2
Round-turn qualifying units = average monthly round-turn lots
The rate basis controls only the number of qualifying units. A per-side schedule counts an opening side and a closing side separately, while a round-turn schedule counts one completed trade once. The calculator does not decide which definition a provider uses.
Under “achieved rate applies to all volume,” the highest entered minimum reached by average monthly qualifying volume supplies one rate for the entire month. Under “marginal volume bands,” each entered rate applies only from its minimum to the next entered minimum.
The 52-week annual total divided by 12 is an average normalized month, not a calendar-specific payment forecast. Tier thresholds are therefore entered on the same average-month basis.
Worked example from the audited fixture
The example enters a per-side schedule with an all-volume method: USD 1.00 from zero monthly side lots and USD 1.50 from 100. A one-lot completed trade, three completed trades per day and five days per week produces 780 annual round-turn lots, 65 average monthly round-turn lots and 130 average monthly side-lot units.
The 100-unit tier is reached, so USD 1.50 applies to all 130 monthly qualifying units: USD 195 average monthly rebate and USD 2,340 annual rebate. That equals USD 3.00 per round-turn lot. Against an entered USD 8.00 gross round-turn cost, the comparable cost after rebate is USD 5.00 per round-turn lot.
How to interpret the result
This is deterministic normalization of entered definitions. It is not evidence that any trade qualifies, that a provider will report or pay the amount, or that more turnover improves a trading outcome.
Assumptions and limits
- Every tier minimum is monthly qualifying volume on the declared per-side or round-turn basis.
- Every cash rate and cost must already use the selected display currency; no conversion occurs.
- One average completed-trade lot size and daily count repeat for 52 identical weeks.
- Partial closes, rejected trades, inactive weeks, caps, changing rates, exclusions and settlement timing are not modeled.
- The gross-cost comparison includes only the comparable amount entered by the user.
- A negative cost-after-rebate result is a definition-check flag, not evidence of negative real all-in cost.
- No provider, broker, account, symbol, trading frequency, lot size, strategy or trade is recommended.
Frequently asked questions
- Only the current programme terms can define it. This calculator uses the average completed-trade lot size and rate basis you enter and does not verify account, symbol, side or trade eligibility.
- A per-side rate counts eligible opening and closing sides separately, so one completed round-turn lot creates two qualifying side-lot units. A round-turn rate counts that completed lot once.
- The highest entered minimum reached by average monthly qualifying volume supplies one rate, and that rate is multiplied by all monthly qualifying units.
- Each entered rate applies only to qualifying volume from its minimum to the next entered minimum. The last rate applies to volume above its minimum.
- The calculator converts 52 identical entered weeks into an annual total and divides by 12. The resulting average month is used consistently for tier qualification and is not a calendar-specific payment period.
- It is the entered gross cash cost per round-turn lot minus the derived rebate per round-turn lot. Spread, commission, slippage, swap, conversion and tax are not independently calculated.
- No. It changes the display label only. Every entered rate and gross cost must already use the same currency.
- No. Extra turnover can add spread, commission, slippage, financing and behavioural risk. The calculator recommends no trading frequency, provider, broker or trade.
Sources and methodology
- MQL5 — Symbol Properties — documents broker-defined contract size, minimum volume, maximum volume and volume step rather than a universal lot definition.
- MetaTrader 5 — Trading Report — describes account history and report fields that must be reconciled outside this projection.
- CFTC — Trading-system claims advisory — supports the page boundary against unsupported performance or promotional claims.
Version 2.0.0 performs deterministic local arithmetic and uploads no entered value. The two tier methods are explicit user-selected contracts; the calculator does not infer provider rules.
