Ten listed options contracts per month in a brokerage account
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.
Assignment, exercise, regulatory, exchange, multi-leg strategy effects, premium-dependent tiers and contract-closing charges are excluded unless explicitly represented by the modeled opening-contract rule.
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
Per-contract pricing repeats with activity, but several published options schedules depend on premium, volume or other details this fixed scenario does not collect.
options contracts lines: The options line multiplies a calculable per-opening-contract rule by 120 contracts; variable schedules remain in the incomplete group.
account lines: The account line is shown independently because an account charge does not vary with the modeled contract count unless its published rule says so.
