Rebate calculator

A rebate is a discount on your trading costs, so the useful unit is not dollars per month — it is pips off the spread on every trade you take.

Volume
Sets the pip value used to convert between a pip rebate and cash.

Round-turn volume across the month, not the number of trades.

A rebate improves an edge; it does not create one
It is a fraction of a pip against a spread of one or more. Trading extra volume to earn rebates reliably costs more in spread and slippage than the rebate returns.

How it works

Understanding the numbers

What is a forex rebate?

A per-lot payment returned to you out of the spread or commission your broker earns, usually via an introducing broker. It is paid on volume, so it accrues whether the trade won or lost.

Why express it in pips?

Dollars per month depends on how much you trade; pips off the spread does not. Converting the rebate through your pip value gives a number you can compare directly against a competing broker's raw spread.

Does a rebate make a losing system profitable?

Almost never. A rebate is a fraction of a pip against a spread of one or more, so it improves a marginal edge — it does not create one. Trading extra volume to earn rebates reliably costs more than it returns.

What to check before signing up

Whether the rebate is paid on all instruments or only FX, whether volume tiers reset monthly, and whether accepting it moves you to a wider spread or a worse execution model. A rebate on a worse fill is not a saving.
