Under the assumptions shown, the lowest calculable charge among the mutually comparable covered brokers is $0.00. This excludes the material costs listed below, and cost alone does not determine whether a broker meets your needs.

Rounding convention
Integer minor units; percentage charges use half-up rounding unless a sourced provider rule specifies otherwise
Bid–ask spreads, taxes, regulatory levies, fund ongoing charges, market-data subscriptions, margin interest, cash interest and investment performance are outside the v1 fee model.
Provider-specific charges outside the selected activity may apply; a calculated zero is not a claim that the account is free to use.
Partial transfers, wire fees, receiving-broker reimbursements, asset-specific handling, closure charges and tax consequences are not modeled.
Eligibility and coverage
10 covered brokers were evaluated. 7 have mutually comparable modeled calculations; 3 have a material calculation gap; 0 have unknown eligibility; and 0 are ineligible for a selected requirement. Not every broker in the market is covered.
Comparable calculated charges
Ordered by calculable total, with alphabetical tie-breaking. There are no numeric ranks. The lowest annotation applies only to this fixed, current scenario.
Calculated charges among mutually comparable covered brokers
Material limitation: Stock and ETF options cost $0; certain index options cost $0.50 per contract.
Modeled fee categories: Account, Full transfer out.
Why the modeled charges differ
A full transfer-out charge is a one-time modeled event in this 12-month scenario, so it should not be read as a recurring annual charge.
full transfer out lines: The transfer line applies one published full outgoing transfer rule exactly once; it is not annualized beyond that event.
account lines: The account line is evaluated with no trading activity so the transfer charge remains distinguishable from ongoing modeled account cost.
