Forex Rebate Calculator
Project an entered cash rebate per eligible lot across a consistent trading-volume schedule. The calculator shows daily, weekly, average monthly and annual cashback, then subtracts the rebate from an optional entered gross cost per lot without claiming eligibility, provider payment or lower real execution cost.
Enter one rebate-volume scenario
Copy the exact eligible-lot definition and cash rate from the applicable broker or rebate-provider terms. Keep every monetary input in one currency.

How the forex rebate projection works
Weekly eligible lots = daily lots × entered trading days per week
Annual rebate = weekly lots × 52 × entered cash rebate per lot
Average monthly rebate = annual rebate ÷ 12
The rate is an entered cash amount per eligible lot. The calculator deliberately does not supply broker presets, promotions or rebate-provider tables because programme availability, symbols, account types, calculation bases and rates can change.
Volume begins with the average eligible lot size for one trade. That value is multiplied by the number of eligible trades in one trading day and the entered trading days per week. A trade count is not inferred from orders, tickets, fills, partial closes or platform history.
The annual convention uses exactly fifty-two copies of the entered week. The average month is annual volume divided by twelve, so it is not a four-week month and does not reproduce the unequal number of calendar or trading days in a real month.
The optional gross cost per lot must be a comparable entered cash amount on the same lot and side convention as the rebate. The tool subtracts the rebate from that amount; it does not independently derive spread, commission, swap, slippage, tax or currency conversion.
If the entered rebate exceeds the entered gross cost per lot, the displayed net cost becomes negative. That is a mathematical flag to recheck definitions, not evidence that real trading has a negative all-in cost or that increasing turnover is profitable.
Worked example from the audited fixture
The audited fixture enters USD 3 cashback per eligible lot, an average 0.50-lot trade, four eligible trades per day, five trading days per week and USD 8 entered gross cost per lot.
- Daily eligible volume is 2 lots, weekly volume is 10 lots, annual volume is 520 lots and the annual rebate is USD 1,560.
- Average monthly eligible volume is 43.333333 lots and average monthly rebate is USD 130. Entered cost after rebate is USD 5 per lot and annual entered cost after rebate is USD 2,600.
Reproduce it: select “Load audited example” above. The immutable fixture is recomputed from the disclosed formula rather than copied from a provider result.
How to interpret the result
- Start with eligibility, not the advertised headline rate. Check whether both opening and closing activity, partial closes, metals, indices, micro accounts or promotional accounts use the same lot definition.
- Keep the rebate currency aligned with the gross-cost currency. A currency label formats the output but does not convert either input.
- Use the weekly result for a week that matches the entered schedule. Use average monthly only for normalized planning because individual months do not contain exactly 52 ÷ 12 weeks.
- Compare the entered cost-after-rebate figure with the Total Trade Cost Calculator only after aligning per-side versus round-turn treatment, lot size, symbol specification and currency.
- Do not increase trading frequency solely to chase cashback. Extra turnover can add spread, commission, slippage, financing and behavioural risk that this rebate projection does not model.
- Reconcile the projection with actual statements after each payment period. Missing, rejected, delayed or differently classified volume must be handled using the current programme terms.
Assumptions and limits
- No broker account, introducing broker, affiliate portal, cashback service, trade history, statement or payment record is connected.
- The tool supports a cash-per-lot rate only. Pip-based, spread-percentage, commission-share and tiered-volume programmes must first be converted from verified terms into a comparable cash rate.
- One average lot size and trade count are repeated through the scenario. Variable volume, holidays, inactive weeks, changing rates, caps and tier transitions are not simulated.
- The gross-cost input is optional scenario arithmetic. It does not capture changing spread, asymmetric commission, swap, conversion, taxes, slippage, rejected orders or platform charges.
- Eligibility, reporting basis, settlement timing, minimum withdrawal, provider solvency, regulation, jurisdiction and tax treatment remain outside the model.
- No rebate provider, broker, account type, symbol, trading frequency, lot size, strategy or trade is recommended.
Which Batch 50 calculator answers which question?
These pages share a visual shell, not one interchangeable promise. The rebate tool projects entered eligible-volume cashback, the pip tool converts a price distance using explicit units, and the margin-call tool reverse-solves a constrained account-threshold scenario. Keeping these jobs separate prevents a pip distance from becoming money without position context, a rebate from becoming guaranteed savings, or a linear threshold from becoming a liquidation forecast.
| Tool | Primary input | Primary output | Hard boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forex Rebate | Entered rate and eligible volume | Cashback and cost-offset projection | No eligibility or payment claim |
| Pip Difference | Two prices plus pip and point sizes | Signed and absolute distance conversion | No monetary P/L |
| Margin Call Price | Account snapshot plus P/L sensitivity | Linear threshold-equivalent price | No liquidation forecast |
Frequently asked questions
- It multiplies an entered cash rebate per eligible lot by an entered average lot size, trades per day and trading days per week. It shows daily, weekly, average monthly and annual scenarios.
- Weekly eligible lots are multiplied by 52, then the annual result is divided by 12. It is an average month, not a four-week or calendar-specific month.
- No. It cannot verify the broker, account, symbol, side, volume, jurisdiction, reporting basis or current programme terms.
- Version 1.0.0 accepts a comparable cash amount per eligible lot only. Convert another basis only after checking the current terms and the correct pip value, spread basis and currency.
- It is the optional entered gross cash cost per lot minus the entered rebate per lot. Spread, commission, slippage, swap, conversion and tax are not independently calculated.
- The arithmetic preserves a rebate larger than the entered gross cost so the mismatch is visible. A negative result is a prompt to recheck definitions, not evidence of negative real all-in trading cost.
- No. It changes the display label only. Every monetary input must already use the same currency.
- No. Extra turnover can add costs and risk. The page recommends no provider, broker, frequency, lot size, strategy or trade.
