eToro fees, explained as simply as possible
Learn if and how eToro’s fee structure applies to your deposits, withdrawals, and trades.
Investment account fees
For withdrawals from GBP and EUR accounts to an external account, there is no fee.
For withdrawals from a USD investment account to external accounts, eToro charges a fixed $5 fee, to cover some of the expenses involved in international money transfers.
Minimum withdrawal amount: $30 from a USD account, and no minimum from GBP and EUR accounts.
This monthly fee applies to accounts with no logins in the previous 12 months.
Conversion fees
On eToro, you can hold funds in a GBP or EUR account as well as in a USD account.
Currency conversions may be needed in the following scenarios:
– Depositing or withdrawing in a different currency to your eToro account
– Transferring between your GBP or EUR account and your USD account
– Trading an asset that’s in a different currency to your eToro account
Conversion fees can vary depending on location, payment method, and Club level.

Stocks
A commission fee of $1 or $2 may apply when opening and closing a stock position, depending on your country of residence and the stock exchange on which the asset is traded.
Positions opened before the fee implementation date in your country will not incur a fee when closing.
Stock commission fees in USD
Please note that commission fees:
– Are calculated in USD, regardless of the base currency of the stock being traded
– Do not apply to CFD positions
– Do not apply to ETFs
– Do not apply to Copy trading or Smart Portfolios
You can view commissions and other fees by tapping “estimated cost” on the trade execution screen.
A market spread is the difference between an asset’s buy (bid) and sell (ask) prices when trading, without any additional markups by eToro (Spread fee). It is not a separate charge by eToro, rather a reflection of current market conditions.
Stamp duty is a regulatory transaction tax levied by the UK government on the electronic purchase of all UK-listed stocks.
Short-selling orders and leveraged positions on stocks are executed as CFDs and incur CFD spreads and overnight fees.
Due to product restrictions, some non-leveraged BUY positions in stocks are also executed as CFDs, and these positions incur CFD spreads. CFD positions on stocks do not incur a commission fee.
Any CFD trade will be marked “CFD” in the trade execution window.
Stock Lending
Many factors influence the amount of payment you may receive from stock lending, making it difficult to estimate how much someone can earn from the process.
When opting in, you allow eToro to consider your entire portfolio for lending. Shares are lent according to market demand. It’s possible that none of your shares are loaned during a particular month, which would produce no payment, but it’s also possible that your entire portfolio is lent, and you receive a larger payment that month.
There are no additional fees for participating in the stock lending programme, other than the third-party facilitation/ liquidity costs.
If your shares are in demand and lent out, the general formula for calculating the gross daily amount earned (prior to any deduction of third-party costs, revenue shared with eToro etc.) on a lent position is as follows:
Daily gross revenue amount = asset closing price × number of units × (lending fee rate % / 365)
If you wanted to calculate the lending revenue for Tesla Inc., assuming the following data doesn’t change for the duration of a 112-day loan:
Asset closing price = $350
Number of Units = 2,000,
Lending Rate (%) = 1%,
Price = $350,
Third-party facilitation fee (%) = 15% ,and
Days on Loan = 112.
Daily gross revenue amount = $350 x 2,000 x 1% / 365= $19.18
Third-party Facilitation fees = $19.18 x 15% = $2.88
Net lending revenue = $19.18 – $2.88 = $16.30
Retained by eToro = $16.30 x 50% = $8.15
Customer’s daily net revenue = $16.30 x 50% = $8.15
Customer’s net revenue for a 112-day loan = $8.15 × 112 = $912.80
The third-party facilitation fee (%) is currently set at 15% but may change in the future.
Note that the lending fee rate can change for the same lent shares over the duration of the loan. In securities lending, the fee rate is often variable and can be adjusted periodically based on market conditions, supply and demand for the shares, and other factors. For example, if the lending fee rate starts at 1% and then changes to 1.2% halfway through the loan period, you would calculate the revenue for the first half using the 1% rate and for the second half using the 1.2% rate, then sum the two amounts to get the total revenue.
ETFs
We charge zero commission for ETF trades. This applies to any transaction regardless of size and the way in which your order was entered: manually, via CopyTrader, or Smart Portfolios.
*The general account fees mentioned above will apply.

- What is leverage for CFDs?
-
Leverage is a temporary loan given to the trader by the broker, enabling the trader to open a trade of a larger size with a smaller amount of invested capital. Leverage is presented in the form of a multiplier that shows how much more than the invested amount a position is worth.
For example: If you trade with no leverage at all and invest $1,000, for every 1% move in the market, you can gain or lose $10, which equals 1% of $1,000. However, if you were to invest the same $1,000 and trade using x10 leverage, the dollar value of your position would be equal to $10,000.

- What is a “bid/ask market spread”?
-
The market spread arises from the difference for which a product can be bought and sold (bid and ask). This difference does not arise from eToro and is not incurred as a cost when you buy or sell a real stock on eToro.
- What other fees apply?
-
When depositing and withdrawing in non-USD currencies, a conversion fee will be incurred. Diamond members are automatically exempt from FX conversion fees. Platinum and Platinum+ members receive a 50% discount. There is also a low fixed $5 fee for withdrawals and a $10 monthly inactivity fee after 12 months with no login activity.
Although not a fee that is levied by eToro, each transaction is subject to a market spread upon opening and closing. This is determined by the market and is a characteristic that is consistent across all banks and brokers.
- What is Stamp Duty and who needs to pay it?
-
We will be passing a Stamp Duty Reserve Tax on to clients who open new positions in UK-listed stocks. Stamp Duty is a regulatory transaction tax levied by the UK government on the electronic purchase of all UK-listed stocks. It is currently set at 0.5% of the value of the stock purchase (SDRT is also normally charged at 0.5% but is rounded up to the nearest 1p). This is a mandatory regulatory transaction tax that applies to all clients trading UK-listed stocks, regardless of their country of residence.
