How Much Can You Actually Earn From Forex Rebates?
Forex rebates sound almost too good — money back on trades you were making anyway. So what do they actually add up to? Here is the honest math, at real trading volumes, with the caveats most sites leave out.
The math by volume
Rebates are paid per standard lot. At a $7/lot rebate: 20 lots a month is about $140/month ($1,680/year); a 100-lot/month scalper collects roughly $8,400/year — for zero change in how they trade. Model your own numbers with the trading calculators or the rebate calculator on the homepage.
The deeper explanation of where this money comes from is in our guide what are forex rebates — short version: it is the introducing-broker commission your broker already pays, redirected to you.
The honest caveats
A rebate reduces your cost per trade; it does not make a losing strategy profitable. And never increase trade size just to farm rebates — the rebate is a fraction of the spread you pay to open a position, so overtrading for cashback always loses money net. Cutting cost the right way is covered in how to reduce forex trading costs.
Volume traders should also look at tiered rewards: our VIP boost adds up to +15% once you cross a monthly tier, applied to the whole month's lots.

Up to $10 per standard lot through RebateIX, depending on the broker and account. At $7/lot, 20 lots a month is about $140; 100 lots is about $700 — paid weekly, on top of your normal trading.
Are forex rebates worth it?⌄
For anyone trading regularly, yes, because they cost nothing and don't change your trading conditions. They lower your cost per trade — but they don't turn a losing strategy into a winning one.
