Fee calculator
Calculator by Brokaro(opens in a new tab)Your trading profile
Every field is an annual figure. Results update as you type — there is nothing to submit.
Buys and sells combined.
Typical size of a single order.
Share of orders the broker has to convert for.
The base for percentage custody fees.
Adds the inactivity fee where the broker charges one.
Assumptions
- The commission used is the broker's domestic stock order fee. Options, futures, CFDs and funds are priced differently.
- Brokers with a tiered price list are left out of the ranking: their bands cannot be reduced to a single order fee.
- For per-share pricing we assume a share price of 100 units to derive the share count.
- Fees quoted in another currency are converted to euro at static reference rates so they are comparable. These are not live rates.
- Not included: spreads, exchange fees, third-party cost surcharges, taxes, deposit and withdrawal fees, and individually negotiated terms.
- Multi-year savings are the plain sum of the annual difference — the money saved is not reinvested.

42 brokers are missing from the ranking. At least one of the figures this calculation needs is not recorded for them: a comparable stock commission, the currency conversion markup, the custody fee or, for a dormant account, the inactivity fee. Leaving them out beats assuming a zero, which would make them look artificially cheap.
10 of them lack only the currency conversion markup, because they publish none — for example because they trade US shares in euro and the conversion sits inside the price. Set “Orders in a foreign currency” to 0% to include them; the ranking then covers orders with no foreign currency at all.
Not in the ranking while no country of residence is chosen, because according to our data their share trading is offered only in some countries: Kraken (for US customers only) and Coinbase (not for retail clients in the EEA).
