What Is a Forex Rebate?
A forex rebate is a cashback payment made to traders for every lot they trade, regardless of whether the trade was profitable or not. Rebates are offered by introducing brokers (IBs) who share a portion of the spread or commission they receive from the broker back to the trader.
The formula for calculating your total rebate is:
For example: a rebate of $3 per lot on 100 lots traded per month = $300 cashback, deposited directly to your account regardless of your trading performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a forex rebate and how does it work?
A forex rebate is a cashback payment per lot traded, provided by an introducing broker who shares part of the spread or commission with you. You earn rebates on every trade â winning or losing â which reduces your overall trading costs over time.
How are forex rebates calculated?
Rebates are calculated as a fixed amount per standard lot traded. For example, if your rebate is $3 per lot and you trade 100 lots in a month, you receive $300 regardless of your trading results. Some programs offer rebates in pips rather than dollars.
Do rebates affect my trading strategy?
Rebates do not change how you trade â they simply reduce your net cost per trade. For high-frequency and scalping strategies, rebates can be especially significant since they trade large volumes and every dollar of cost reduction compounds over time.
Are forex rebates available for all currency pairs?
Most rebate programs cover all major, minor, and exotic forex pairs, as well as metals like gold and silver. Some programs extend to indices and commodities. Always verify the rebate rate per instrument with your introducing broker, as rates can vary by asset class.
