Commissions

Stocks, ETFs and Warrants / Overview

IB offers two pricing structures for stocks and ETFs in the US, Canada, Europe and Hong Kong: bundled which is a fixed rate per contract, and unbundled which is cost plus based pricing. Unbundled pricing adds a fixed IB fee (which varies by volume) to the fees charged by the exchanges and regulators.

For a schedule of bundled and unbundled fees, see the tables listed under the region sub-menus above. All accounts use the bundled pricing structure by default. To change to the unbundled structure, log into Account Management/Account Administration. You may switch your pricing structure at any time, and it will take effect as of the next statement date (cutoff is 16:00 ET).

For comparison examples of US stock and ETF bundled vs. unbundled fees, click here; for European stock bundled vs. unbundled fees click here and for Hong Kong stock bundled vs. unbundled fees click here.

Notes:

Scale orders are subject to the minimum commission at each price level increment on any given day. Leftover partial orders executed on the subsequent day will only be subject to the minimum commission once.
Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may have the effect of subjecting modified orders to commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if an order for 200 shares is submitted and 100 shares execute, then you modify the order and another 100 shares execute, a commission minimum would be applied to both 100 share orders.

Notes:

All exchange and regulatory fees included.
For customers who send an extraordinary number of non-marketable limit orders to the NYSE, and who route such orders directly to NYSE, rather than using IB Smart routing, IB reserves the right to impose a surcharge in order to defray specialist order handling charges. In this event, IB will provide notice to affected customers.

¹For CSFB ALGO and JEFFALGO IB will charge an additional USD 0.0010 per share.
²For orders that are immediately executed against an existing bid or offer on the exchange's order book, an exchange liquidity removing fee will be added. See the Unbundled North America section for the details of the exchange fees.

Stocks, ETFs and Warrants / Unbundled

Notes:

Commissions apply to all order types.
IB's unbundled fee will be capped at 0.5% of trade value.
When using SMART routing, clients should be aware that the routing may deliver the order to an exchange with a better quoted price but with substantially higher fees. In particular, clients should understand the ECN charges for removing liquidity when sending marketable orders for low prices stocks (under USD 2.50).
All exchange, special and other fees are charged on a per-share basis.
Please note that direct-routed API orders cannot use the unbundled fee structure. Smart-routed API orders can use either the unbundled or bundled fee structure.
¹Volume tiers are applied based on monthly cumulative trade volume summed across all stock and ETF shares at the time of the trade. Only shares that are traded while under the unbundled pricing structure will count towards the monthly volume. Share volumes for advisor, institutions, and broker accounts are summed across all accounts for the purpose of determining volume breaks. These fees are applied on a marginal basis for a given calendar month. If for example, you execute 500,000 US shares in a month, your IB unbundled fees would be:
- 300,000 shares at USD 0.0035
- 200,000 shares at USD 0.002
²USD 0.7 minimum per order.
³CAD 1.00 minimum per order.
⁴Transaction fees are only charged for sell orders.
⁵Transaction fee is changing from USD 0.0000127 to USD 0.0000169 beginning with trades settling on April 1, 2010.

Regulatory Fees

United States
Options Regulatory Fee ("ORF") ^{(1), (2)}	$0.0135 per contract

Notes:

Commissions apply to all order types.
Commissions are not charged for US exercise and assignment.
Because of Reg NMS regulations, we may not fill at an inferior price so exchange fees will not be part of our order routing decision except in cases where exchange quotes are equal.
Volume breaks are applied based on monthly cumulative trade volume summed across all options contracts at the time of the trade. Contract volumes for advisor, separate trading limit, and broker accounts are summed across all accounts for the purpose of determining volume breaks. These fees are applied on a marginal basis for a given calendar month. If for example, you execute 12,000 US contracts in a month, your execution costs would be:

10,000 contracts at USD 0.70
2,000 contracts at USD 0.50
Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may have the effect of subjecting modified orders to commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if an order for 200 contracts is submitted and 100 contracts execute, then you modify the order and another 100 contracts execute, a commission minimum would be applied to both 100 contract orders.

¹The Options Regulatory Fee ("ORF") is charged by the following exchanges: CBOE, ISE, PHLX, BOX.

Futures and Futures Options / Overview

IB offers two pricing structures for futures and futures options. For US, we offer two cost-plus pricing structures: Flat Rate, which charges a flat IB rate per contract exclusive of exchange and regulatory fees, and Volume Tiered, which uses volume-tiered pricing. For all other (non-US) futures and futures options, we offer the choice between an all-in Bundled structure and the Unbundled structure. The Volume Tiered adds a fixed IB fee (which varies by volume) to the fees charged by the exchanges and regulators. In addition, institutions and members (or participants in a member program) of a US or Canadian Futures exchange may qualify for discounted exchange fees. Click the Exchange Incentive Program tab for more information.

For a schedule of pricing structures, see the links along the top of the page under the tabset. Customers select their pricing structure during the registration process, and can switch at any time through Account Management/Account Administration. Changes will take effect as of the next statement date (cutoff is 16:00 ET).

For a comparison of futures and futures options rates for customers who are not members of an exchange click here.

Note:

Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may result in modified orders being charged commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if you submit an order for 200 contracts 100 contracts fill, then you modify an order parameter, resubmit the order and the other 100 contracts fill, a commission minimum could be applied to both 100 contract orders.

Commissions apply to all order types.
All fees are charged in the currency of the traded product.
The standard commission will be charged for the exercise or assignment of any Futures or Future Options Contract. Click here for details.
Single Stock Futures are not available for Volume Tiered pricing.

¹Volume tiers are applied based on monthly cumulative trade volume summed across all futures and futures options contracts at the time of the trade. Only contracts that are traded while under the Volume Tiered pricing structure will count towards the monthly volume. Contract volumes for advisor, institutions, and broker accounts are summed across all accounts for the purpose of determining volume breaks. These fees are applied on a marginal basis for a given calendar month. If for example, you execute 1,500 US contracts in a month, your IB execution costs would be:
1,000 contracts at USD 0.60
500 contracts at USD 0.45
²Carrying charges are applied for each net futures contract, net short call futures options, or net short put futures options on a single underlying for each business day the net futures position is held overnight.
³Non-member exchange and regulatory fees are applied, unless a customer is pre-qualified by IB. Contact your sales person for more information.

100,000 contracts at USD 0.15
100,000 contracts at USD 0.10

EFPs

IB offers bundled or all-in pricing for EFPs which includes the cost of the stock and SSF legs. ⁽¹⁾

Bundled Fee per EFP Contract⁽²⁾
<100 Contracts	USD 0.50 per EFP Contract
100-499 Contracts	USD 0.30 per EFP Contract
500-1,999 Contracts	USD 0.25 per EFP Contract
2,000+ Contracts	USD 0.20 per EFP Contract

Notes:

Commissions apply to all order types.
All exchange and regulatory fees included.

¹In order to receive bundled EFP rates, it is recommended that orders are executed through the main trading window using IBEFP as the market destination. Orders entered as spreads/combos may or may not receive the bundled rate depending on the availability of native EFPs. For more information on trading EFPs from the spread/combo window, see the TWS Users' Guide.
²Rates are not tiered on cumulative contracts or execution size, but rather order size. A 250 contract order, executing 50 contracts would be charged USD 0.30 per EFP contract.

Forex

IB provides the best bid/offer from multiple large banks and charges a separate low commission. We do this in the interest of transparent pricing instead of marking up our quotes and charging nothing in commissions as is the practice with many forex brokers. Because quote markups at other brokers are generally much larger than our explicit low commissions, our forex customers benefit from lower forex trading costs.

Notes:

Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may have the effect of subjecting modified orders to commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if an order for 200 shares is submitted and 100 shares execute, then you modify the order and another 100 shares execute, a commission minimum would be applied to both 100 share orders.

¹1 basis point=0.0001.
²Commissions for forex trades are calculated off the trade value and then converted and charged to the base currency of the account.
³Order minimums are quoted in USD with USD equivalent being utilized for other currencies.

AQS Borrow/Loan

		Commissions	Minimum	Maximum
United States	IB Daily Carry Charge⁽¹⁾	10% * Borrow/Lend Fee⁽²⁾	0.1% * Collateral Amount/ 360	1% * Collateral Amount/ 360
United States	IB Ticket Charge⁽³⁾	USD 5.00

Examples

Example 1 - The Carry Charge is Capped at the Calculated Maximum

Collateral Amount = $50,000; Borrow Fee Rate = 100%; Borrow Fee⁽²⁾ = $138.90.

Minimum Fee Calculation = 0.001 x $50,000 / 360 = $0.14
Maximum Fee Calculation = 0.01 x $50,000 / 360 = $1.39
IB Carry Charge Calculation = 10% x $138.90 = $13.89.

Total Initial Commissions = $1.39 + $5.00 = $6.39
Daily Cost = $1.39

Example 2 - The Carry Charge is Rounded Up to the Calculated Minimum

Collateral Amount = $50,000; Borrow Fee Rate = .5%; Borrow Lend Fee⁽²⁾ = $0.69.

Minimum Fee Calculation = 0.001 x $50,000 / 360 = $0.14
Maximum Fee Calculation = 0.01 x $50,000 / 360 = $1.39
IB Carry Charge Calculation = 10% x $0.69 = $0.07

Total Initial Commissions = $0.14 + $5.00 = $5.14
Daily Cost = $0.14

Notes:

[1] Fees are accrued daily through the end of the month on a 360 day/year basis, and are charged at the beginning of next month. IB Carry Charge includes the AQS fee.
[2] The Borrow/Lend Fee is similar to the bid/ask on a stock contract, and is calculated as follows: Collateral Amount * Borrow/Lend Rate / 360.
[3] The $5.00 IB Ticket Charge is a one-time fee, and is only charged on the first day that the contract is opened. The IB Ticket Charge includes the AQS ticket charge.
