Which Exness accounts charge commission?
Exness advertises the following account pricing. Availability, instrument coverage and conditions can vary by entity, so treat these as a starting point rather than a personalised quote.
| Account | Advertised trading commission | Advertised spreads from |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | No separate commission | 0.2 pips |
| Standard Cent | No separate commission | 0.3 pips |
| Pro | No separate commission | 0.1 pips |
| Raw Spread | Up to US$3.50 per lot, per side | 0.0 pips |
| Zero | From US$0.05 per lot, per side | 0.0 pips |
These are advertised minimum spreads, not typical execution costs. Actual spreads can widen with volatility, reduced liquidity and market openings. Standard Cent uses cent-denominated balances and cent lots: do not assume its displayed lot size represents the same exposure as a standard lot.
Raw Spread versus Zero
Raw Spread combines tight variable spreads with instrument-specific commission, advertised at up to US$3.50 per lot per side. Zero commissions start lower in the headline pricing, but the applicable rate depends on the symbol. The lowest advertised rate is not a universal forex commission.
Exness advertises zero spreads on selected instruments under specified conditions. That does not mean every instrument has a zero spread throughout the trading day. Check the exact symbol’s commission and spread conditions before choosing between these accounts.
How to calculate Exness commission
“Per side” means one charge for opening a position and another for closing it. A round trip includes both.
Round-trip commission = commission per lot per side × lots traded × 2.
For an instrument priced at the advertised US$3.50 per lot per side:
- A 1.00-lot trade costs US$3.50 to open and US$3.50 to close: US$7 total.
- A 0.10-lot trade costs US$0.35 each way: US$0.70 total.
- A 0.01-lot trade costs US$0.035 each way: US$0.07 total before any applicable rounding.
Account-currency conversion can affect the amount shown on your statement. Confirm how the platform books commission rather than assuming each charge will appear separately at execution.
Compare commission and spread together
On EUR/USD, one standard lot has a pip value of approximately US$10 in a USD account. A US$7 round-trip commission therefore equates to about 0.7 pips. If the actual spread were 0.2 pips, the combined spread-and-commission cost would be approximately 0.9 pips, excluding slippage and overnight charges.
This is an illustration, not a typical Exness spread quote. A commission-free account with a narrower total cost could be cheaper for the same trade.
Other costs to check
Commission is only one part of your trading costs:
- Spreads: Compare typical spreads during your trading hours, not just advertised minimums.
- Overnight financing: Swap charges may apply when positions remain open past rollover. Swap-free eligibility and instrument coverage have conditions; check your account’s current status.
- Currency conversion: Funding, withdrawals or trading charges in another currency can create conversion costs.
- Payment-provider charges: Exness generally advertises no deposit or withdrawal processing fees, but banks and payment providers may charge independently.
- Slippage: Execution away from your requested price can change the result, although it is not a broker commission.
Check the live account pricing and instrument specifications before trading, particularly for gold, indices and other non-forex products whose contract sizes differ.
Exness versus Vantage: which pricing fits?
Exness offers a useful choice between spread-only pricing and commission-based accounts. Traders who value simple cost tracking may prefer Standard or Pro; frequent traders may find Raw Spread or Zero worth comparing using actual execution records.
Vantage is our featured alternative. The group includes FCA- and ASIC-regulated entities and advertises raw spreads from 0.0 pips. It offers MT4, MT5 and TradingView connectivity, subject to entity, account and regional availability.
Do not assume that every Vantage customer receives FCA or ASIC protections: your contracting entity determines the applicable rules and protections. Compare its current round-trip commission, typical spreads, overnight financing and execution conditions against the equivalent Exness account.
Open a Vantage account, or review its entity-specific terms first. Neither broker is automatically cheaper across every instrument or trading style.
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Vantage is an advertising partner; we may earn a commission.
