Different rules, not just different numbers
The four Exness tiers we support are not priced the same way. Standard and Pioneer pay a percentage of the spread — 40% and 23% respectively, with no fixed per-lot figure. Raw Spread and Zero pay a fixed dollar amount per lot, which varies by instrument, and both charge a commission on top. Comparing only the rebate figure and ignoring spread and commission is the most common mistake at this step.
The table below pairs our rebate basis with the account conditions; per-lot figures are generated live from the rebate table and the full tier list stays on the Exness rebate page.
| Account | Min. deposit | Spread | Commission | Rebate basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $1 | from 0.3 pips | 0 | 40% of the spread, all instruments |
| Pioneer | $1 | from 0.1 pips | 0 | 23% of the spread, all instruments |
| Raw Spread | $2000 | from 0.0 pips | per lot | $0.65 per FX lot, $2.25 per gold lot, $13.87 per silver lot |
| Zero | $2000 | from 0.0 pips | per lot | $0.43 per FX lot, $1.5 per gold lot, $9.25 per silver lot |
Three trader profiles
Low frequency, small size: Standard
No commission, a $1 minimum, a slightly wider spread but a proportional rebate. The less you trade, the less you need to model — new accounts and trend holders are usually best served staying here, where the payout is also the easiest to estimate.
Heavy gold and index exposure: Raw Spread
Raw runs close to 0.0 spreads and charges per lot. The rebate is a fixed amount per lot and the metals figure sits well above the FX one, so once you net the rebate against commission, high-volume gold traders often end up cheaper than on Standard. The per-lot method is in gold rebate calculation and the tier basis in Exness gold rebates.
High-frequency scalping: Zero
Zero pays less per lot than Raw but keeps the same near-zero spreads, which suits strategies that fire constantly and are sensitive to every point. How spread and commission cancel out in scalping is covered in scalping cost maths; the EA volume basis is in rebates for EA traders.
Check the cost against live spreads
The account type is only half the cost; the other half is the spread at that moment. The same tier can price several times wider around data releases, the overnight rollover and thin liquidity. Look at the live spread page before you enter, then run your monthly volume through the rebate calculator — that beats any static table.
FAQ
Which Exness account pays the most?
The figures are not comparable: Standard pays 40% of the spread and Pioneer 23%, which are proportional, while Raw and Zero pay a fixed amount per lot. Heavy, frequent trading favours the fixed tiers; light trading is usually better on the proportional ones.
What is the difference between Raw Spread and Zero?
Both start at 0.0 spreads and charge a commission. They differ in commission level and per-lot rebate: Raw pays more per lot, Zero suits high-frequency, smaller positions.
Can I hold several account types at once?
Yes. One Exness profile can open several account types, but each account number has to be bound separately and is then rebated on its own basis.
How does Pioneer differ from Standard?
Pioneer starts at a tighter 0.1 pips but pays 23% of the spread instead of 40% — it suits traders who care more about immediate cost than about the rebate share.
