How the Savings Calculator Works
Trading costs come from spreads and commissions. Small differences add up quickly when you trade meaningful volume.
This calculator uses independently verified averages to show:
- Your estimated monthly trading cost
- How that compares to other brokers
- Your potential savings per month
- Your projected savings over twelve months (effectively compound your savings over time)
All results update instantly when you change trading volume or broker selection.
Enter Your Monthly Trading Volume
Select how many standard lots you trade per month.
The calculator supports volumes from one lot to one thousand lots, making it useful for active retail traders and professionals alike.
The more you trade, the more cost efficiency matters.
Compare Against Other Brokers
Choose the broker you want to compare against.
Your results are benchmarked versus:
- Average of top ten brokers
- Industry-wide average
- Your selected broker
This allows you to see whether your current pricing is competitive or quietly costing you more than it should.
See Your Monthly and Annual Savings
Once selected, you will see:
- Estimated savings per month
- Total savings over twelve months
- A visual breakdown of monthly total trading cost
The bar chart makes it easy to see how pricing differences translate into real money over time.
No assumptions about strategy. No change in risk. Just cost comparison.
Verified Cost Data You Can Trust
All calculations are based on:
- ForexBenchmark verified data
- Seven-day rolling averages
- Spread plus commission
- Day session pricing from 04:00 to 22:00
These are historical averages, not guarantees. Markets change and costs fluctuate. The calculator shows realistic comparisons using transparent inputs.
Why Trading Cost Efficiency Matters
If two traders trade the same volume and one pays less per lot, the lower-cost trader retains more profit over time.
Reducing trading friction does not require higher risk, increased leverage, or more trades. It simply requires understanding what you are paying and whether better pricing exists.
Reset and Recalculate Anytime
Change your lot size. Switch brokers. Reset the calculator.
Use it as often as needed to pressure-test your current setup and identify where savings may exist.
