• Our Tiered commission schedules (which cover commissions plus external venue fees/rebates) are not intended to be a direct pass-through of exchange and third-party fees and rebates. Costs passed on to clients in IBKR’s Tiered commission schedule may be greater than the costs paid to the relevant exchange or third party by the IBKR entity responsible for execution (Executing Broker), subject to applicable laws. For example, the Executing Broker may pay lower fees than the fees paid by clients to IBKR; likewise, rebates passed on to clients by IBKR may be less than the rebates the Executing Broker receives from the relevant exchange or third party. For example, if the Executing Broker receives higher rebates (or pays lower fees) for exceeding volume thresholds on a particular exchange / third party, it typically will not pass these volume-based incremental rebates/fee discounts directly to clients.
• Commissions apply to all order types.
• Commissions are not charged for exercise and assignment, except in Australia and Japan.
• All exchange and regulatory fees included except for Hong Kong stock options.
• 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. Orders that persist overnight will be considered a new order for the purposes of determining order minimums.
• IBKR may change these rates at any time in its sole discretion. Commission rates may also vary by program or arrangement. Restrictions apply. The published rates are for direct clients of IBKR. Clients introduced through another broker or managed by an advisor may pay additional commissions set by their introducing broker or advisor. Clients should contact their introducing broker or advisor about the rates that will apply to their account.
• Value-Added Tax (VAT), Goods and Service Tax (GST) or other consumption taxes will be separately applied to commissions and services, where applicable, based on the prevailing rates.

* Lower investment costs will increase your overall return on investment, but lower costs do not guarantee that your investment will be profitable.
