What is the commission calculation for trades on Deriv MT5 Financial account?
Formula (per side)

Commission = (Traded volume in USD) × (Commission rate) ÷ 100,000

To calculate traded volume in USD:

Traded volume in USD = (Volume in lots) × (Contract size) × (Execution price) × (Conversion rate to USD)

Example calculation with EUR/USD

Let’s say:

  • You traded 1 lot of EUR/USD
  • Each contract = 100,000 units (standard forex contract size)
  • The current price is 1.10
  • Conversion rate = 1 (since it’s in USD)
  • The commission rate (one side) is $10 per 100,000 USD traded
How to calculate

1. Find the traded volume in USD: 

1 (lot) × 100,000 (contract size) × 1.10 (price) × 1 (USD rate) = 10,000 USD

 So, the total traded volume = 110,000 USD

2. Apply the commission formula:

Commission= (110,000 × 10) ÷ 100,000 = 11 USD

So, $11 commission per side

3. If you open and close the trade (round trade):

11×2 = 22

$22 total commission

How is the Platinum tier and reward calculated?

Here’s how the Platinum tier works:

If you earn 5,500 USD in commissions in October, 4,800 USD in November, and 6,800 USD in December:

  • Three-month total: 5,500 USD + 4,800 USD + 6,800 USD = 17,100 USD
  • Rolling 3-month average at the end of December: 17,100 USD ÷ 3 = 5,700 USD
  • Resulting tier: Platinum (above 5,000 USD)

Commission breakdown for December:

  • Base commission (December): 6,800 USD
  • Additional tier reward (based on December’s earnings): 6,800 USD × 8% = 544 USD
  • Total commission earned for December (payout in January): 6,800 USD + 544 USD = 7,344 USD
