Exness fees: every trading cost in one place

Which costs you can meet

Trading costs at Exness fall into a few groups. Some apply to every trade. Others depend on your account type, how long you hold a position, or how you move money.

Conditions change. Before you trade, check the current spread, commission and swap for your instrument in the Exness personal area or on the official site.

Leveraged CFD and forex trading can lose money fast. Costs are only part of the picture. A low-cost trade can still lose much more than its fees.

Spread

The spread is the gap between the buy (ask) price and the sell (bid) price. You pay it the moment a position opens, because you buy at the higher price and sell at the lower one. It is measured in pips. A pip is the standard small price step of an instrument.

Exness publishes minimum ("from") spreads per account type:

Points experienced traders should note:

• A "from" figure is a minimum, not an average. Exness notes that spreads may fluctuate and widen, for example around news, at the daily rollover and in thin markets.
• On the Zero account, Exness states zero spread for the top 30 instruments 95% of the day and for other instruments 50% of the day. Outside those periods, and during high volatility, the spread can rise above zero.
• Spreads differ by instrument. Gold, indices and crypto usually carry wider spreads than major currency pairs. See Spreads and XAUUSD spread.

Commission

A commission is a fixed charge per lot. A lot is the standard trade size. Exness charges commission on the Raw Spread and Zero accounts, per side. That means you pay it when you open the position and again when you close it.

• Raw Spread: up to 3.50 USD each side per lot
• Zero: from 0.05 USD each side per lot, and the amount varies by instrument

Instrument examples published by Exness:

• XAUUSD (gold): Raw Spread 3.5 USD, Zero 5.5 USD per lot per side
• USTEC (Nasdaq-100): Raw Spread: 0.3125 USD per lot per side, Zero: 0.625 USD per lot per side

Standard Cent, Standard and Pro accounts charge no commission. Their cost is built into the spread. To compare accounts fairly, add commission and spread together. See Commissions and Account types.

Swap

A swap is the overnight financing charge or credit on a position held past the daily rollover. It can be negative or positive. Some instruments carry a triple swap on one weekday to cover the weekend. For example, Exness lists triple swap on Wednesday for XAUUSD and triple swap on Friday for USTEC.

Swap-free status matters for readers in Pakistan:

• Exness states that clients registered from Islamic countries are assigned swap-free status automatically, and its list includes Pakistan. On these accounts, Exness says all instruments are applied with zero or no swap.
• For other clients, Exness states by default all accounts are swap-free on listed instruments; the status can be lost. Qualification depends on trading activity.

Confirm your actual swap status and rates in the Personal Area. Do not assume them. Details are on Swap fees and Swap-free accounts.

Currency conversion

Your account has a base currency. The Standard account currency list includes PKR and USD, and Standard Cent accounts use cent currencies such as USC. For example, a 5 USD deposit gives a balance of 500 USC.

Conversion costs can appear in these situations:

• You deposit in one currency into an account held in another.
• You trade an instrument whose profit is in a currency other than your account currency. Profit and loss are then converted.
• Your bank or payment provider applies its own exchange rate or margin.

Exness does not publish a separate conversion fee in the facts we hold. Check the rate shown before you confirm a transaction. See Account currency and SBP exchange rates.

Deposit and withdrawal fees

On payments, Exness states that Exness covers third-party costs; some deposit fees may apply on specific methods. Third-party fees may also apply depending on the method.

Related rules:

• Payment methods are shown only in the Personal Area; depends on registered region.
• Withdrawals go to own personal payment accounts only.
• The maximum you can withdraw at any time is up to free margin.

Your own bank or wallet may still charge you. That charge is outside Exness. Before you send money, Pakistani residents should also read the State Bank position: per the SBP, remitting foreign exchange to overseas forex/margin/CFD platforms is not allowed through any payment channel (FERA s.5(1)). Details are on Is Exness legal and Deposits and withdrawals.

Total cost of a sample trade

One trade's cost is:

spread cost + commission (open and close) + swap for each night held

To turn spread into money, multiply the spread in price terms by the contract size and the lot size. For gold, the contract size is 100 troy ounces. The smallest trade is 0.01 lot on most instruments.

Enter your instrument, account type, lot size and holding days in the calculator:

How to read the result:

• On commission-free accounts, nearly all the cost sits in the spread. A wider spread at the moment you open raises the cost.
• On Raw Spread and Zero accounts, the spread is often lower and the commission is the larger part. Double the per-side commission to get a full trade.
• Swap grows with each night held. On a swap-free account it does not apply.

Costs that are not fees

Some costs reduce your result without appearing as a charge:

• Slippage: your order fills at a worse price than requested. This is common in fast markets.
• Requotes: Pro uses instant (forex, metals, energies, stocks, indices), market (cryptocurrencies). On instant execution, the platform can offer a new price instead of filling at yours.
• Higher margin: around high-impact news, margin requirements rise. This is not a fee, but it ties up more capital. See Leverage.

Exness offers a free VPS to clients who meet its criteria: free VPS, eligibility based on balance and/or volume (in the Personal Area). See VPS hosting.
