Trading Tools

Swap Calculator

Calculate overnight swap fees (rollover charges) for holding positions past the daily close.

What Are Swap Fees?

A swap (also called a rollover fee) is the interest paid or earned for holding a trading position overnight. Every day at the server rollover time (usually 00:00 server time), open positions are charged or credited a swap based on the interest rate differential between the two currencies in the pair.

Swap rates can be positive or negative. If you're long on a currency with a higher interest rate than the one you're short, you earn a positive swap. If the interest rate differential is against you, you pay a negative swap. Most retail forex pairs carry negative swaps in both directions due to broker markups.

Every Wednesday (or the broker's designated triple-swap day), the swap is charged at 3× the normal rate to account for the weekend settlement period. This is known as the triple swap and applies even if you don't hold over the actual weekend.

How the Swap Calculator Works

1

Select your instrument and direction

Swap rates differ between long (buy) and short (sell) positions. Choose both to see the applicable rate.

2

Enter your lot size

Swap fees scale with position size. Larger positions incur larger daily swap charges.

3

Set the number of rollovers

Enter how many weekday rollovers you plan to hold the position through. The calculator includes the triple-swap rollover and shows a range when the total depends on the day you open.

4

See your total swap cost

The calculator shows the daily swap amount, total swap over your holding period, and the underlying swap rate used.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Swaps are charged daily at the server rollover time — typically 00:00 server time (GMT+3 in summer, GMT+2 in winter) at GCC Brokers. If you open and close a position within the same trading day, no swap is charged.

Forex trades settle on a T+2 basis (two business days after execution). A position held through Wednesday night settles on Friday, and the next settlement would be Monday — skipping Saturday and Sunday. The triple swap on Wednesday covers these two extra days.

Yes. If the interest rate of the currency you're buying is significantly higher than the one you're selling, the swap can be positive — you earn money for holding overnight. This is the basis of carry trade strategies.

The calculator reads each instrument's current swap settings from our MetaTrader 5 server and refreshes them at least hourly. Swap rates change as interbank interest rates move, so always confirm the current rates on your MetaTrader 5 platform (right-click the symbol → Specification → Swap Long/Short).

Please contact our support team at [email protected] to inquire about swap-free account options. Availability may depend on your account type and jurisdiction.

For day traders, swaps are negligible. For swing and position traders holding for days or weeks, swap costs can significantly eat into profits — especially on pairs with high negative swaps. Always factor swap costs into your trade plan for multi-day positions.

Calculate Swap Fees

One rollover each week, usually Wednesday, is charged at three times the rate to cover the weekend, so 5 rollovers cost 7 nights of swap.

On the trading server's clock (New York time + 7 hours). Swap is charged at server midnight, so a position opened on Monday is first charged Monday's rollover.
