Unlike other investing platforms, you’ll never be charged:
- Commissions or markups on any trades
- Platform usage fees
- For depositing or withdrawing from your connected bank
We believe your money should work harder for you, that’s why we eliminated fees that many other brokerages charge their customers
M1 doesn’t charge for normal platform use, meaning you’ll never pay for regular investing activities.
But we also know some investors may request additional account operations from time to time. That’s why we offer the following services for a fee:

Regulatory fees
Regulatory expenses are mandated fees passed on to the consumer. These occur when users sell a stock or ETF, and often cost only a few pennies. For example, if you sell ten shares of Apple stock at $150 per share, you would pay a total of 4 cents in regulatory expenses — 3 cents in SEC fees and 1 cent in TAF fees. These costs are calculated as follows:
SEC (Securities Exchange Commission) Fee* = total price of transaction x $5.10 / 1,000,000
TAF (Trading Activity Fee) Fee* = shares sold x 0.000119 with a maximum of $5.95
*Fees are rounded up to the nearest penny
Please note when trading American Depository Receipts (ADR), fees may apply and are charged to you as the holder of the ADR.
M1 PLUS FEES
