This forex broker comparison table shows real-time spread data for EURUSD. Spreads are measured in pips and updated regularly to help traders choose the best forex broker for their trading strategy. Rankings are determined by average spread values, with lower spreads indicating better value for traders.

All spreads are taken from brokers' real accounts, not demo accounts.

What Are Forex Broker Spreads and How to Calculate Them?

In simple terms, the spread in forex trading is the difference between the bid (selling) and ask (buying) price of a currency pair. It’s essentially the transaction cost — and for most brokers, it’s how they earn revenue, especially when they don’t charge separate commissions.

For example, if EUR/USD is quoted at 1.0840 / 1.0842, the spread equals 2 pips. That’s what you pay when opening a position. The smaller the spread, the cheaper it is to trade.

Spreads are dynamic and change with market conditions. During high volatility or low liquidity (like during major news events or rollover hours), spreads can widen temporarily.

To calculate spreads:

Spread (in pips)=(Ask Price−Bid Price)×10n

Where n is the number of decimal places (for most forex pairs, n = 4).

👉 If you want to check your broker’s spread, you can use our Forex Spread Calculator. You can also download our free MT4/MT5 spread indicator from there.

Compare Forex Broker Spreads – Live Data

Even the best forex brokers experience moments when spreads widen. This typically happens during:

  1. Major News Events
    When high-impact economic data (like Non-Farm Payrolls, CPI, or central bank decisions) is released, liquidity providers adjust prices rapidly — and spreads temporarily expand. This protects brokers and liquidity providers from risk caused by sudden market moves.
  2. Daily Rollover Periods (Server Resets)
    Around 5 PM New York time, most brokers process daily swaps and rollover adjustments. During this short period, liquidity drops, causing spreads to widen for a few minutes.

To make spread analysis easier, you can see news events directly on the chart. Important events are colored in red, indicating high-impact data, while yellow events show lower importance. You can click on events to view details or toggle “Hide Rollover” to remove rollover-related data and see what spreads look like during normal trading conditions.

What Is the Minimum Forex Spread?

The minimum forex spread differs across instruments. A spread that seems high for one pair might be excellent for another.

For instance, a 1.3-pip spread on EUR/USD is relatively high compared to industry averages, but the same 1.3-pip spread on GBP/JPY is quite competitive given that pair’s natural volatility.

So, minimum spreads are relative — they depend on the instrument, liquidity, broker model, and market timing.

You can compare minimum, average, and maximum spreads across different brokers and pairs in our interactive spread comparison table above. It allows you to visually compare spreads and spot which broker consistently offers the lowest trading costs for your preferred pairs.

Methodology: How We Gather Brokers Spreads

To ensure accurate and transparent results, we built a proprietary data infrastructure designed specifically to monitor live spreads from real trading accounts — not demo environments.

Here’s how it works:

  • Our system collects real-time spread data from multiple brokers every few seconds, around 200000 data points every 7 days, across major forex pairs, gold, and crypto CFDs — see the exact live data points for each selected pair above the table.
  • The chart displays average, minimum, and maximum spreads over different timeframes, offering a true reflection of each broker’s performance.
  • We collect data from each broker’s lowest-spread account, which is typically an ECN or raw spread account. Since these accounts charge a commission per trade, you can view the total trading cost by enabling the commission toggle on the chart.
  • Economic news events are shown directly on the chart, color-coded by importance — from red (high impact) to yellow (low impact). Clicking on an event reveals its details and timing.
  • A unique feature of our system is the ability to compare multiple brokers simultaneously, helping traders visually assess differences in spreads.
  • We also included a “Hide Rollover” filter, allowing users to exclude spreads recorded during daily rollover periods when liquidity is thin and spreads temporarily widen.

Additionally, our Forex Spread Comparison Table automatically ranks brokers by their average spreads across different forex and CFD instruments. This makes it easy to identify which brokers consistently offer the lowest trading costs.

Our goal with this comprehensive monitoring tool is to provide authentic, data-backed insight into broker spreads — ensuring traders get facts, not marketing claims.

Why do spreads change throughout the day?

Spreads fluctuate because of liquidity and volatility. During active sessions like London or New York, spreads tighten due to high trading volume. They can widen during major news releases, rollover periods, or low-liquidity hours — even with brokers known for low spreads.

How can I compare forex brokers’ spreads accurately?

The best way is to use real-time and historical data, not broker marketing claims. Our forex spread comparison tool tracks live and historical spreads from real accounts across top brokers. It lets you see minimum, average, and maximum spreads for each pair and timeframe — helping you identify brokers that genuinely offer consistently low spreads.
