How are Forex Swap Rates Calculated?


Forex swap rates are calculated by the equations below:


(Price * Lot size * (Swap Long or short %))/ 365 = Quote currency Swap long/or short Rate


Requires to convert quote currency swap rate to your trading account currency to get actual trading account swap rate.


Example 1:

If trader A trade a long position on AUD/USD


Trader A Account currency: USD

Example Price = 0.74550

Trade Size = 1 lot (Contract Size: 100,000 units)

Example Swap Rate for long position: -2.41


(0.74550 * 1 * (-2.41%) / 365) = -$3.27 USD


Swap rate for AUD/USD with 1 standard lot size is equal to -$3.27 USD per rollover.


Example 2:

If trader B trade a short position on GBP/USD


Trader B Account currency: GBP

Example Price = 1.25550

Trade Size = 3 lot (Contract Size: 300,000 units)

Example Swap Rate for short position: -2.28


(1.25550 * 3 * (-2.28%) / 365) = -$2.35 USD


Swap rate for GBP/USD with 3 standard lots size is equal to -£1.87 GBP per rollover.
