Methodology
Every fee comes from the broker's own official fee page, read by a person and stored with its source page and the date it was last confirmed. Results are sorted by total cost only.
How a total is worked out
- Each fee component (commission, platform fee, SGX clearing and trading fees, settlement fees) is worked out from the published rate.
- If a maximum applies, it caps the fee; then the minimum applies (if the maximum is lower than the minimum, the minimum is charged, as Tiger Brokers states).
- Each fee is rounded to the nearest cent, then GST (9%) is added to the fees the broker says carry GST. Your contract note may differ by a few cents.
- Tiered rates (UOB Kay Hian cash account) use the bracket rate for the whole trade value, as the broker's table shows.
- US per-share fees use the share price you enter (default US$100, a hypothetical value, not a quote).
What is not included
- Promotions and free-trade offers (listed separately on the promotions page).
- Fees charged only when you sell (for example US SEC and FINRA fees), and other US regulatory fees.
- Currency conversion (FX) costs, custody fees, account fees, dividend handling fees and market data fees. Where a broker publishes a custody fee, it is listed on that broker's page.
- Very large trades: the calculator stops at S$/US$1,000,000.
SGX fees
SGX's own website could not be read by our tools, so the SGX clearing fee (0.0325%), trading fee (0.0075%) and settlement instruction fee (S$0.35) are taken from the broker fee pages that pass them on, and quoted per broker.
Weekly check
Each week an automated check re-reads every source page (respecting robots.txt), and confirms the exact published wording behind each fee is still there. If wording is missing or a page section changes, the fee is put in a manual review queue. Values are never changed automatically. Pages are not published if any fee hasn't been confirmed within 10 days.
