How is IB rebate calculated (per lot, tiered, etc.)?
March 27, 2026
Within the VT Affiliates partner ecosystem, IB (Introducing Broker) rebates are calculated on a per-lot basis.
The core concept is simple: whenever your referred clients trade on the Forex trading platform, you earn a rebate based on the number of lots they trade, regardless of whether their trades are profitable or not.
VT Affiliates uses a tiered rebate structure, meaning that the larger the total trading volume generated by your client base, the higher the rebate you earn per lot—with payouts reaching up to $8 per lot.
Simple Example: How Your Rebates Accumulate
Imagine you are an active broker partner, and your clients generate the following trading activity this month:
- Initial Stage:
Your clients collectively trade 100 lots during the month.
At the base rebate rate of $5 per lot, your total earnings are $500. - Growth Phase:
As you promote within trading communities and more people open Forex trading accounts, the monthly trading volume increases to 1,000 lots. - Tier Upgrade:
Once you reach the higher tier, your rebate rate increases to $8 per lot. - Final Earnings:
Your monthly rebate income jumps to $8,000.

Note:
Rebate amounts may vary depending on the trading product, such as Forex, gold, oil, or cryptocurrencies. For example, Standard STP accounts typically offer higher rebates than Raw ECN accounts.
Advantages & Risk Considerations
- Real-Time Tracking:
Rebates are usually credited to your dashboard in real time as your clients trade, offering full transparency. - Lifetime Earnings Potential:
As long as your clients continue trading on the platform, you continue earning rebates. - Multi-Asset Coverage:
Trades in Forex, gold, oil, and other supported instruments all contribute to your total trading volume.
- Market Activity Fluctuations:
Client trading frequency can vary depending on market conditions. During quieter markets, total trading volume may decrease. - Compliance Requirements:
Extremely short-term “wash trading” or non-compliant trading patterns may not count toward valid trading volume.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Are rebates calculated per trade or per lot?
Rebates are calculated strictly based on standard lots.
Even if a client trades 0.1 lot, you will still receive 0.1 of the standard rebate amount proportionally.
Q2: If I refer many clients but they trade very little, can I still earn higher rebates?
The IB model primarily rewards trading volume.
If the number of clients increases but the total lot volume remains low, your rebate rate will stay at the base tier.
Q3: Are rebate amounts the same for all products?
Major Forex pairs typically offer the highest rebates, while instruments such as gold, indices, or oil may have slightly different rebate rates. You can view the detailed rebate schedule in your VT Affiliates dashboard.
Q4: Can I withdraw my rebates at any time?
Yes. IB rebates are usually calculated daily, and once the minimum withdrawal threshold is reached, you can request a payout to your bank account or trading account at any time.
