How this is calculated: Brokerage = max(min fee, fee% × trade size) per trade × number of trades. FX = AUD→USD spread × trade × US trades (round-trip). Platform & market-data fees prorated over the period. USD→AUD assumed at 1.52. Platforms with special pricing (free thresholds, capped fees) are handled where flagged in the notes — see the platform page for the authoritative fee schedule before committing.
