Frequently Asked Questions

It's the central overview of Interactive Brokers' published commission schedules and pricing plans. It summarizes typical market commission rates across product types and links to full schedules, disclosures, and plan comparisons.

Fixed pricing uses a single published rate per share or per contract (with stated minimums/maximums) for predictable costs. Tiered pricing offers lower base rates that can decline as your monthly trading volume increases, with exchange, regulatory, and clearing costs (and potential rebates) passed through.

Fractional share trades generally follow the same commission schedule as whole-share trades for the applicable plan, unless otherwise specified in the commission disclosures.

Yes. IBKR generally publishes minimum per order and maximum (often expressed as a percentage of trade value) depending on product and pricing plan. Always review the detailed schedule for your market and product.

The commissions overview emphasizes transparent pricing and states there are no added spreads, platform fees, or account minimums on the commissions overview page, but investors should still review product-specific third-party fees and disclosures.

Yes. IBKR states that commission rates may change and can vary by program, arrangement, region, and client type. For the most accurate number, consult the current commissions schedule.

IBKR Pro with Tiered pricing is designed for higher-volume traders who want declining base rates and pass-through rebates/fees, plus access to advanced trading technology and global market access.

Disclosures
