Exness commission per lot by account

Which Exness accounts charge commission

Every trade has a cost. A spread is the gap between the buy (ask) and sell (bid) price. A commission is a separate fee charged per lot, which is a standard unit of trade size. Some Exness accounts include their cost only in the spread. Others pair a lower spread with a commission.

Only Raw Spread and Zero charge a commission. On Standard Cent, Standard and Pro, the full trading cost is in the spread.

"From" values are the lowest possible spreads, not typical ones. Spreads can widen, especially around news and at thin market hours. On Zero, the zero spread applies only part of the time: zero spread for the top 30 instruments 95% of the day and for other instruments 50% of the day.

The figures above come from the official Exness pages at the time this page was written. Before you rely on them, check the current conditions in your Personal Area or on the official site. For a full list of charges, see All fees and Spreads.

How the commission is charged: per lot, per side

Exness quotes commission "each side per lot". In practice this means:

• Per lot. The quoted amount is for a full lot. A smaller position pays a proportional share. A larger one pays more. The smallest standard position is 0.01 lot.
• Per side. One side is opening the position. The other side is closing it. The fee applies to each, so a complete trade pays the per-side amount on the way in and again on the way out.
• Per instrument. The rate depends on what you trade. The Raw Spread figure is a ceiling ("up to"). The Zero figure is a floor ("from").

Examples of instrument-specific rates from Exness:

For gold on Zero, the commission is well above the "from" figure in the account table. Always check the rate for the instrument you plan to trade, not the headline number.

How to compare commission + spread with spread-only pricing

A low spread plus a commission is not automatically cheaper than a wider spread with no commission. To compare them, convert everything into money for the same trade:

1. Spread cost = spread in pips × pip value per lot × your lot size. A pip is the standard minimum price step for an instrument.
2. Commission cost = commission per side × your lot size, counted for opening and again for closing.
3. Total on a commission account = spread cost + commission cost.
4. Total on a spread-only account = spread cost only, using that account's spread for the same instrument at the same time.
5. Compare the totals. Also add swap, the overnight financing charge, if you hold positions past the daily rollover. See Swap fees.

Use real spreads, not the "from" values. Take them from the platform at the time you usually trade.

The calculator below runs these steps for you. Enter the instrument, account, lot size and holding time, and it shows spread, commission and swap in money and in pips:

Worked example: gold on Raw Spread vs Standard

Say you plan a single XAUUSD trade. One lot of gold is 100 troy ounces. You want to compare Raw Spread with Standard.

On Raw Spread:

• Commission: Raw Spread 3.5 USD, Zero 5.5 USD per lot per side. The Raw Spread rate is per full lot per side.
• Scale that rate to your lot size. Charge it once at opening and once at closing.
• Add the spread cost: the Raw Spread gold spread at that moment × pip value × lot size.

On Standard:

• Commission: no commission.
• The only cost is the Standard gold spread at that moment × pip value × lot size.

Now compare the totals. If the gap between the two spreads, in money, is larger than the round-trip commission, Raw Spread costs less for that trade. If the gap is smaller, Standard costs less.

The answer changes with the instrument, the time of day and your trade size. That is why it is worth running your own numbers in the calculator above or on the Calculators page. Gold-specific spread detail is on XAUUSD spread.
