Examples of Calculations:
Firstrade IRA 2% Contribution Match:
- Example 1: If you contribute $3,000 at the beginning of the Promotion Period and add another $4,000 before the end of the Promotion Period, bringing your total qualifying contribution to $7,000, and you don’t have any withdrawal between promotion period end and the first payment date, your first payment will be calculated as ($3,000 + $4,000) * 2% * 1/3 = $46.67.
- Example 2: If you contribute $5,000 within the Promotion Period and then contribute an additional $2,000 between the end of Promotion Period but before the First Payment Date, and no withdrawal is made in between, your total qualifying amount will be $5,000, as only contributions made during the Promotion Period are eligible. Your first payment will be calculated as $5,000 * 2% * 1/3 = $33.33.
- Example 3: If you contribute $7,000 within the Promotion Period but withdraw $3,000 after the end of the Promotion Period but before the First Payment Date, your total qualifying amount will be reduced to $4,000 ($7,000 - $3,000). Your First Payment will then be calculated as $4,000 * 2% * 1/3 = $26.67. It applies to other withdrawals made before any payment dates.
- Example 4: If you contributed $2,000 during the promotion period and an additional $5,000 after the promotion period but before the First Payment Date, and then withdrew $3,000—an amount greater than your qualifying deposit of $2,000—you will not receive any bonus.
- Example 1: If you transfer $500,000 at the beginning of the Promotion Period and add another $100,000 before the end of the Promotion Period, bringing your total transfers to $600,000, your first payment will be calculated as ($500,000 + $100,000) * 2% * 1/3 = $4,000.
- Example 2: If you transfer $500,000 within the Promotion Period and then contribute an additional $10,000 after the Promotion Period but before the First Payment Date, your total qualifying amount will be $500,000, as only contributions made during the Promotion Period are eligible. Your first payment will be calculated as $500,000 * 2% * 1/3 = $3333.33.
- Example 3: If you transfer $500,000 within the Promotion Period but withdraw $10,000 (an amount less than your qualifying deposit $500,000) before the First Payment Date, your total qualifying deposit amount will be reduced to $490,000 ($500,000 - $10,000). Your First Payment will then be calculated as $490,000 * 2% * 1/3 = $3,266.67. It applies to other withdrawals made before any payment dates.
- Example 4: If you transfer $500,000 within the Promotion Period and an additional $100,000 after the promotion period but before the First Payment Date and then withdrew $510,000 (an amount greater than your qualifying deposit $500,000), you will not receive any bonus.
