Commission Calculator

Commission is what your broker charges per trade—separate from the spread. Some brokers bake everything into wider spreads (no "commission"). Others offer tight spreads but charge a fixed commission per lot. Here's the thing: commission-based accounts are usually cheaper for active traders. A broker advertising "zero commission" might give you 2-pip spreads on EUR/USD. A commission broker might charge $7 per lot but offer 0.1-pip spreads. For a standard lot, 2 pips costs $20. The commission account costs $7 plus maybe $1 in spread—$8 total. You save $12 per trade. But there's a catch. Commission structures vary wildly. Some charge per lot (round turn or half turn). Some charge per million traded. Some have volume discounts. The commission calculator cuts through the confusion and shows your actual cost per trade. If you're a scalper doing 50 trades a day, commission can make or break profitability. Swing traders doing 5 trades a month care less. Know your trading style, calculate your costs, pick the right account type.
