Key takeaways
Rebate = lots traded × partner commission per lot × rebate percentage.
Commission per lot varies by instrument and account type, so the same volume can earn very different rebates.
Higher volume can lift you to a higher rebate level, which raises the percentage on every lot.
Calculating a forex rebate takes one formula and three numbers. This guide walks through it with real figures from Rebates Nation’s Exness partner commission.
Rebate = lots traded × partner commission per lot × your rebate percentage

Step 1: count your lots

Add up the volume you trade in a period, in standard lots. A trader who places 10 trades of 0.5 lots has traded 5 lots. Rebates are usually tracked per month.

Step 2: find the commission per lot

The commission the broker pays per lot depends on the instrument and your account type. These are Rebates Nation’s Exness partner commissions per lot at the time of writing (8 October 2026):

Step 3: apply your rebate percentage

With Rebates Nation, the percentage depends on your level: 20% at Bronze up to 40% at Ultimate. Each trading account starts at Bronze and moves up when its monthly rebates reach the next target ($50, $100, $350, $650).

Worked examples

Example 1: 50 lots of gold on a Standard account

50 lots × $9.60 = $480 of commission. At 20% (Bronze) that is $96; at 30% (Gold) it is $144 a month; at 40% (Ultimate) $192. Monthly rebates of $144 are above the $100 Gold target, so a trader at this volume can reach Gold.

Example 2: 100 lots of EURUSD on a Standard account

100 lots × $3.20 = $320 of commission. At 30% that is $96 a month, or $1,152 a year.

Example 3: the same 50 lots of gold on Pro and Zero accounts

On a Pro account, 50 lots × $4.20 = $210 of commission, so 30% is $63. On a Zero account, 50 × $3.00 = $150, so 30% is $45. Same trades, different account type, different rebate.
