Every trade you open has a cost: the spread, a commission (on raw/ECN accounts), or both. If you trade regularly, those costs add up fast. A forex rebate gives you part of that cost back on every lot you trade.
How forex rebates work
Brokers such as Exness, XM and Vantage pay a commission to their introducing brokers (IBs) for every lot their referred clients trade. A rebate service is an IB that passes most of that commission back to the trader.
The key point: your trading costs do not go up. Your spreads and commissions are exactly the same as if you had opened the account directly. The rebate comes out of the IB’s share.
How to calculate your rebate
The formula is simple:
Rebate = Lots traded × Rebate per lot
For example, if you trade 30 standard lots a month on an account paying up to $14/lot, you can get up to $420 back every month — up to $5,040 a year.

What to check before you sign up
- Rates differ by account type. Low-spread (raw/ECN) accounts usually pay smaller rebates than standard accounts.
- Very short trades may not count. Many brokers have minimum holding-time rules for commission to be paid.
- Rebates don’t offset losses. Never increase your trading volume just to earn more rebates.
- Never share your trading password. A legitimate rebate service only needs your account ID.
