Cheapest income ETFs to trade, ranked by cost to trade $10,000 one way, half the 30-day median bid-ask spread, lowest first, among income ETFs, as of Oct 22, 2026. Scores and tiers as of Oct 22, 2026. Cost to trade is one way for a $10,000 order, half the issuer’s median spread over the 30 days to Oct 21, 2026 to Oct 22, 2026.

Method
Every ETF ETFIQ places among income ETFs whose issuer states a 30-day median bid-ask spread, by the cost to trade a $10,000 order one way: half that spread. A tie is broken by net assets. 149 of the 4,708 ETFs that may be listed qualify tonight, and the first 100 are shown.
The rest of the method
The IQ Liquidity Score measures trading conditions, not the fund, and no list here is a recommendation. The list sorts one published figure, with no scoring or weighting. Too new and closing funds are left out, as are funds no longer listed.
