What Tiger Brokers Charges: The Quick Answer

Tiger Brokers Singapore (regulated by MAS, Capital Markets Services Licence) applies a two-part charge to every trade:

• Brokerage commission — the fee paid to Tiger Brokers for executing your order
• Platform fee — a separate charge for access to Tiger’s trading infrastructure

Both components apply on every buy and every sell. The all-in rate for most markets is 0.06% of trade value (two 0.03% charges), subject to a per-order minimum.

On top of these, market-specific charges apply: SGX clearing and trading fees, US SEC/settlement fees, HK stamp duty, and so on. GST at 9% also applies to the commission and platform fee components.

The good news: for regular investors trading through Tiger’s standard brokerage account, the headline rate is genuinely competitive — particularly for SGX and US stocks.

Understanding the Two-Part Charge

The two-part structure is worth understanding because it affects how you calculate your actual trading cost. Many brokers list only the commission headline rate — Tiger’s fee page lists both components side by side.

Here’s how it works in practice for an SGX trade:

• You pay commission: 0.03% × trade value (min SGD 0.99)
• You pay platform fee: 0.03% × trade value (min SGD 1.00)
• Subtotal: 0.06% × trade value (min SGD 1.99)
• Add 9% GST on the subtotal (e.g. SGD 1.99 → SGD 2.17 incl. GST)
• Add SGX market charges (clearing 0.0325% + trading 0.0075% = 0.04%)

For a SGD 5,000 SGX trade, the full cost looks like this:

Tiger Brokers Fees by Market

Here is the complete commission and platform fee schedule for Tiger Brokers’ standard brokerage account across all available markets, as at October 2026.

GST 9% applies to commission and platform fee. Market-specific charges (clearing, trading, stamp duty, regulatory) apply additionally. Source: Tiger Brokers Singapore official commissions page, October 2026. Verify current rates before trading.

A few things worth noting about the US market structure: Tiger Brokers charges USD 0.005 per share for both the commission and platform fee, giving a combined rate of USD 0.01 per share. For a 100-share trade, this equals USD 1.00 — below the USD 1.99 minimum. That minimum applies, so the effective cost for small lots (under ~200 shares) is the minimum USD 1.99 (before GST).

Cash Boost Account Fees: A Separate Product

Tiger Brokers’ Cash Boost is a distinct product — it is short-term stock financing (essentially a margin facility) that lets you buy stocks using Tiger’s capital. It is not the same as the standard brokerage account, and carries a different, higher fee structure.

For Cash Boost SGX trades, the rates are:

• Commission: 0.10% (minimum SGD 4.99 per order)
• Platform fee: 0.12% (minimum SGD 5.00 per order)
• Combined all-in: 0.22% (minimum SGD 9.99 per order, before GST)
• Interest on the borrowed amount applies separately (charged daily)

For most Singapore investors — particularly those investing their own savings in stocks and ETFs — Cash Boost does not apply. The standard account rates (0.06% all-in, min SGD 1.99) are what you will pay on regular buy and sell orders. Only use Cash Boost if you intentionally want to leverage your stock purchases, and factor in the higher fees and interest cost before doing so.

If you are using Tiger Brokers for long-term retirement planning, stick to the standard account and avoid Cash Boost entirely.

Tiger Brokers vs moomoo vs IBKR: Fee Comparison

How does Tiger Brokers stack up against the other popular platforms used by Singapore investors? Here is a direct comparison of trading fees for the two most common markets — SGX and US stocks.

moomoo SG and IBKR rates are approximate based on standard pricing as at October 2026. Verify current rates on each platform’s official website before trading. Both platforms offer promotional rates from time to time. IBKR tiered pricing shown for US stocks.

Verdict: For SGX stocks, Tiger Brokers and moomoo SG are essentially tied (both 0.06% all-in, both minimum SGD 1.99). For US stocks, Tiger’s USD 0.01/share is higher than moomoo’s or IBKR’s rates — making it less optimal for high-volume US equity traders. For multi-market access (SGX, US, HK, China in one account), Tiger Brokers is one of the most cost-effective options available to Singapore retail investors.

Real-World Cost Examples (SGD)

To make the fees concrete, here are worked examples for three common trade sizes on the SGX and for a US stock purchase. All amounts assume standard Tiger Brokers brokerage account rates and include 9% GST on Tiger’s portion of the fee.

SGX Stock — Three Trade Sizes

SGX charges = clearing 0.0325% + trading fee 0.0075% = 0.04% (waived by SGX, not Tiger). GST applies to Tiger’s portion only. Source: Tiger Brokers, SGX fee schedule, October 2026.

US Stocks — 100 Shares vs 500 Shares

For US stocks, Tiger charges USD 0.01 per share (combined commission + platform fee), with a minimum of USD 1.99 per order. Additional US-specific charges include:

• SEC transaction fee (on sells only): approximately $0.0000278 per dollar of sale proceeds
• Settlement fee: ~USD 0.003 per share
• FINRA fee: USD 0 effective from October 2026

For a buy order of 100 shares of a USD 30 stock (total USD 3,000): Tiger’s charge is USD 1.00, but the minimum applies — so you pay USD 1.99 plus 9% GST (USD 2.17 total from Tiger). The 100-share minimum means your effective per-share cost is USD 0.02, double the headline rate.

For 500 shares of the same stock (USD 15,000 total): Tiger’s charge is USD 5.00 (0.10% of trade value is the commission side; total USD 5.00) plus 9% GST = USD 5.45. More efficient.

The practical takeaway: Tiger Brokers is better suited for larger trade sizes in US stocks. For very small lots (under 200 shares), IBKR’s tiered pricing (min USD 0.35) is more cost-efficient.

Additional Charges to Know

Beyond the commission and platform fee, Tiger Brokers passes through market-specific charges that apply in each country. These are not Tiger’s fees — they are exchange, regulatory, and settlement charges levied by the relevant authorities.

SGX (Singapore)

• SGX clearing fee: 0.0325% of trade value (both buy and sell)
• SGX trading access fee: 0.0075% of trade value
• No stamp duty on Singapore stocks

US Markets

• SEC transaction fee: Applied on sell orders only — ~USD 0.0000278 per dollar of proceeds (rate set by SEC annually)
• FINRA fee: Reduced to USD 0 effective 1 October 2026
• Settlement fee: ~USD 0.003 per share (charged by DTC)

Who Should Use Tiger Brokers?

Tiger Brokers is a strong choice for Singapore investors who want broad multi-market access at competitive fees. Here’s an honest breakdown:

Tiger Brokers Works Well For:

• SGX investors — the 0.06% all-in rate with a SGD 1.99 minimum makes it one of the most cost-efficient options for regular SGX trades of SGD 1,000 and above
• HK-SGX multi-market investors — a single account gives you access to both exchanges, useful for holding REITs in Singapore and dividend stocks in HK
• Growth-oriented investors — access to US, China A-shares, and Australia alongside SGX, all under one account
• ETF investors — if you are buying Vanguard, iShares or SPDR ETFs on the SGX, the 0.06% fee with a SGD 1.99 minimum is competitive with most alternatives

Consider Alternatives If:

• You trade US stocks in small lots — IBKR tiered pricing (from USD 0.35 min) or moomoo (USD 0.99 min) are cheaper for orders under 200 shares
• You use CPF or SRS for investing — Tiger’s Cash Boost account is not appropriate for CPF/SRS funds; check whether standard Tiger account integrates with your CPF/SRS setup
• You want a robo-adviser — platforms like Syfe or Endowus handle portfolio construction for you and charge management fees instead of per-trade commissions
