At present, there are three major commodity futures exchanges in Shanghai, Dalian and Zhengzhou, and 22 listed varieties of China Financial Exchange (stock index futures), and different varieties charge different fees. All futures companies are members of exchanges (financial exchanges are not). A fixed part of the customer's fees for participating in futures trading will be paid to the exchange, and the other part will be collected by the futures company. The standard for charging futures companies is to add a part to the futures exchange for its own operation.

Different futures companies charge different fees in different regions. Relatively large and powerful futures companies charge higher fees, while some small futures companies charge slightly lower fees. The handling fee will also vary according to the customer's capital size and transaction volume. For customers with a large amount of funds or even millions, futures companies will also moderately reduce the handling fee.

Futures commission is equivalent to the commission in the stock. For stocks, the expenses of stock trading include stamp duty, commission and transfer fees. Relatively speaking, the cost of engaging in futures trading is only the handling fee. Futures commission refers to the fees paid by futures traders according to a certain proportion of the total contract value after the transaction. In addition to the handling fee, the exchange will also charge the investor protection fund at a rate of 0.2%, which is equivalent to the stamp duty on stock transactions.
