Calculation steps

Work through one step at a time or reveal the complete calculation. The steps use your current inputs.

    How to calculate

    For each order add fixed and proportional commission, apply the minimum and optional cap, then add the independently entered proportional spread cost.

    Commission=min(optional cap,max(minimum,fixed+notional×rate)); cost=commission+notional×spread rate

    Worked example

    For an order of 1000, fixed commission 1 plus 0.1% is 2. With spread cost 0.05%, total modeled cost is 2.5.

    Assumptions and input details

    Exactly two user-defined schedules and 1–100 positive order notionals. A zero cap explicitly means uncapped, not free. Minimum cannot exceed a positive cap. Spread is an entered total cost fraction of notional, not automatically half of a quoted spread. No broker catalogue, discounts, tax or FX conversion. No live market data or national tax rules are inferred. Enter consistent amounts in one currency unless explicitly stated otherwise.
