Forex Rebate Calculator: How To Calculate Rebate Per Lot And Month For 6 Brokers

Published 11 min read

Forex rebate calculator per lot covering Exness, XM, HFM, Vantage, IC Markets and EC Markets

Many traders know their broker offers a rebate, yet at the end of the month they still cannot answer the simplest question: given my volume, what will a forex rebate calculator show in dollars? The answer is not hidden inside a tool with a button. It is a single multiplication that you can do yourself in a minute.

This article works as a ready-made calculator. You take your lots traded, multiply by the rebate rate for the right pair and account type, then add the results into a monthly total.

In this article, Backcom.io sets out the formula, sample tables for 1, 10 and 50 lots across 6 brokers, a full monthly scenario and the gaps that usually make real payouts smaller than the table.

The Forex Rebate Calculator Formula: One Multiplication

Forex rebate calculator formula: lots multiplied by rebate per lot equals rebate
The Forex Rebate Calculator Formula: One Multiplication

The forex rebate calculator comes down to one step: closed lots multiplied by the rebate per lot for that pair. What a rebate is and where the money comes from is covered in what a forex rebate is and how to calculate it per lot, so this section keeps only the arithmetic.

Rebate = Closed lots × Rebate per lot (USD) for the pair and account type

When you trade several pairs in a month, repeat the step for each pair and add them up:

Monthly rebate = (EURUSD lots × EURUSD rate) + (XAUUSD lots × XAUUSD rate) + (USDJPY lots × USDJPY rate) + …

Three points matter before you start:

  1. Only closed trades count. A position still open at month end moves into the next period.
  2. The rate differs by pair. Gold is usually higher than EURUSD at most brokers in the table, though not at every one. The lot size guide explains what one lot means.
  3. The rate differs by account type. On the same broker, a Standard account and a Raw Spread account can pay several times apart.

A rebate is paid on closed volume whether the trade wins or loses, except trades the broker cancels or treats as abuse under its own terms. For that reason you should treat it as a reduction in trading cost, not as profit.

What Does Forex Rebate 100% Of IB Commission Mean?

The phrase forex rebate 100% of IB commission means you receive back up to 100% of the IB commission, that is the full share of IB commission that the broker pays the introducing partner. It does not mean 100% of the fees you pay, because your trading fees include spread and commission that the broker keeps.

So the rebate per lot is always smaller than the total cost you paid. That per-lot figure is the input for every calculation in this article.

Worked Example: One Week On Exness Standard

To see the multiplication at work, take an Exness rebate on a Standard account. Suppose that in one week you close 12 lots of EURUSD and 4 lots of XAUUSD.

The steps run like this:

  1. Look up the Exness Standard EURUSD rate: USD 3.20 per lot.
  2. Multiply: 12 × 3.20 = USD 38.40.
  3. Look up the Exness Standard XAUUSD rate: USD 9.60 per lot.
  4. Multiply: 4 × 9.60 = USD 38.40.
  5. Add both results: 38.40 + 38.40 = USD 76.80.

Any other broker works the same way with its own two rates.

Forex Rebate Rates Per Lot By Broker: The Input Table

To calculate anything, you need the rebate per lot as your input. The table below uses the common account type at each broker, based on the figures shown on the rate table page. The full list of every account type sits in forex broker rebate rates per lot.

Broker and account typeEURUSD (USD/lot)XAUUSD (USD/lot)Payout cycle
Exness Standard3.209.60Daily
XM Standard8.1018.00Daily
HFM Premium7.2012.00Daily
Vantage Standard STP (regular link)6.1211.30Daily
IC Markets Standard4.004.00Start of month
EC Markets STD (No Markup link)8.0018.00Daily

Figures shown on the website as at 6 November 2026. Rebates can change by broker and by actual spread, so check each broker page before you open an account.

The forex rebate overview gives the wider picture before you look at each broker. The Exness table updates with spread, so figures can change between visits. Two cautions when reading the table. First, a higher rebate does not mean a lower cost, since each broker has its own spread and commission. Second, some markup links pay a higher rebate but add pips to the spread, so they only help when the extra rebate is larger than the extra spread.

This section applies the formula to three common volumes, using EURUSD only so that the numbers are easy to check. Each cell is the lot count multiplied by the EURUSD rate in the table above.

Broker1 lot10 lots50 lots
Exness StandardUSD 3.20USD 32.00USD 160.00
XM StandardUSD 8.10USD 81.00USD 405.00
HFM PremiumUSD 7.20USD 72.00USD 360.00
Vantage Standard STP (regular link)USD 6.12USD 61.20USD 306.00
IC Markets StandardUSD 4.00USD 40.00USD 200.00
EC Markets STD (No Markup link)USD 8.00USD 80.00USD 400.00

Calculated from the 6 November 2026 EURUSD rates, before any other deductions. What you receive depends on closed trades and each broker's conditions.

For gold the method stays the same. Ten lots of XAUUSD on Exness Standard give 10 × 9.60 = USD 96.00, while ten lots on XM Standard give 10 × 18.00 = USD 180.00.

Two things stand out in the table:

  • The rebate grows in a straight line with lots. Five times the volume gives five times the rebate.
  • The gap between brokers widens with volume. It goes from a few dollars at 1 lot to hundreds of dollars at 50 lots.

Monthly Forex Rebate Example For One Trader

A real month rarely involves a single pair. Suppose you close 40 lots of EURUSD and 6 lots of XAUUSD in a month, 46 lots in total, on the common account type at each broker.

The calculation has three steps:

  1. Multiply 40 lots by the broker's EURUSD rate.
  2. Multiply 6 lots by the broker's XAUUSD rate.
  3. Add both results for the monthly total.
BrokerEURUSD rebate (40 lots)XAUUSD rebate (6 lots)Monthly total
Exness StandardUSD 128.00USD 57.60USD 185.60
XM StandardUSD 324.00USD 108.00USD 432.00
HFM PremiumUSD 288.00USD 72.00USD 360.00
Vantage Standard STP (regular link)USD 244.80USD 67.80USD 312.60
IC Markets StandardUSD 160.00USD 24.00USD 184.00
EC Markets STD (No Markup link)USD 320.00USD 108.00USD 428.00

Hypothetical scenario using the rates shown on 6 November 2026. This is an illustration, not a promise of income or trading results.

The bottom line of the example answers "how much is paid back". It does not yet answer "what is my real cost", and that is the next step.

Splitting The Monthly Total By Week

Volume is rarely even from week to week. With XM Standard and the 40 lots of EURUSD above, the month still comes to USD 324.00 however you split it.

  • Week 1: 8 lots × 8.10 = USD 64.80.
  • Week 2: 15 lots × 8.10 = USD 121.50.
  • Week 3: 5 lots × 8.10 = USD 40.50.
  • Week 4: 12 lots × 8.10 = USD 97.20.

The four weeks add up to 324.00, matching 40 × 8.10.

From Rebate To Real Cost Per Lot

Base cost minus forex rebate equals real cost per lot
From Rebate To Real Cost Per Lot

You should not pick a broker only because its monthly rebate line is the largest. Real cost per lot is the base trading cost (spread plus commission, converted to USD) minus the rebate for that lot, and it only means something when both figures are measured under the same conditions.

Real cost per lot = Base trading cost per lot − Rebate per lot

The example below is hypothetical and shows the subtraction only, not a measurement of any broker. Say broker A has a base cost of USD 7.00 per EURUSD lot and pays USD 3.00, so the real cost is USD 4.00. Broker B has a base cost of USD 10.00 and pays USD 8.00, so the real cost is USD 2.00.

Broker B pays more, but its starting cost is higher. The conclusion only holds when both base figures are measured at the same time, on the same pair, on the same account type.

That is why this article does not rank brokers by "highest rebate wins". For a cost-based comparison, read the 6 brokers ranked by net cost after rebate, and for account types see raw spread versus standard account real cost.

Why Your Real Payout May Be Lower Than The Table

A payout that falls short of the table usually has a familiar cause. You should check each one before you build a plan around a hand-calculated figure.

The common causes are:

  • Wrong link or IB: the account was not opened through the partner link or the IB partner was not changed to the right partner code, so trades are not tracked.
  • Trades closed too early: some brokers do not count trades closed before the IB is confirmed, for example IC Markets.
  • Account type not eligible: for example a Cent account at Vantage.
  • Changing spread: the rebate moves with the actual spread, especially on markup links.
  • Different payout cycles: the same volume can reach you at different times.

For this reason, compare the lots closed in your broker statement with the lots shown in your rebate history, instead of looking only at the monthly total.

On timing, the table shows five of the six brokers paying daily, while IC Markets pays at the start of the month. Conditions for each broker are on its own page: Exness, XM, HFM, Vantage, IC Markets and EC Markets.

How To Use The Table To Plan

The table is most useful when you use it to set expectations, not to push volume up until the rebate looks big enough. A rebate only arises when a trade closes, and every trade carries its own risk of loss.

A short routine has three steps:

  • Step 1: Use your real volume. Take your average lots over the last three months rather than a hoped-for number.
  • Step 2: Split by pair. Separate EURUSD, gold and other pairs so each gets the right rate.
  • Step 3: Subtract from cost. Put the rebate next to your base trading cost to see the real cost.

Position size should come from risk management, not from a wish for a bigger rebate. You can use the position size calculator and the guide to forex money management and lot size to set lots by risk first, and only then feed the number into the rebate table.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About The Forex Rebate Calculator

How To Calculate Forex Rebate For A Whole Month?

Multiply the closed lots by the rebate per lot for the pair and account type. With several pairs, calculate each one and add them. For example, 10 lots of EURUSD at USD 8.10 per lot give USD 81.00.

Is A Forex Rebate Paid When A Trade Loses?

Yes, because the rebate is based on closed volume and not on whether the trade won or lost. However, a rebate cannot cover losses if the strategy loses. You should see it only as a reduction in trading cost.

Are Forex Rebate Rates Per Lot Fixed?

No. The rate depends on account type, signup link, pair and sometimes the actual spread, so it can change over time. You should check the rate on the broker page when you open the account.

Should You Choose The Broker With The Highest Rebate?

Not on the rebate alone. A high rebate can come with a wider spread, so compare the real cost per lot after the rebate, at the same time and on the same account type. Without data under equal conditions, it is better not to conclude.

Conclusion: A Forex Rebate Calculator Is One Multiplication

A forex rebate calculator is a simple multiplication: closed lots times the rebate for the right pair and account type. You need to look at three things together: your real volume, the rebate under the right conditions and the base trading cost, which together give the real cost.

If you want to apply this table to your own account, you can read the rebate signup page or look up each broker through the rebate comparison.
