The cost of stock index futures trading is only the handling fee. Different from stock trading, there are other expenses such as stamp duty and transfer fees. The commission rate of stock index futures, like the commission of stock trading, needs to be negotiated with the futures company itself and is not uniform.

The standard charged by CICC is 0.25 ‰ of the transaction amount of stock index futures contracts, and futures companies generally charge about 0.25‰~ 0.5‰, so the handling fee of stock index futures is generally 0.5‰~ 0.75‰.
