Calculate exact trading fees for crypto futures and spot trades. See how fees affect your net P&L across different exchanges and fee tiers.
Trading fees are one of the most overlooked costs in crypto trading. Even small fee percentages compound dramatically for active traders.
Fee Calculation
Entry Fee = Position Size × Entry Fee Rate Exit Fee = Position Size × Exit Fee Rate Total Fees = Entry Fee + Exit Fee Net P&L = Gross P&L − Total Fees
Fee Impact by Trading Style
Choosing the Right Exchange
Lower fees aren't always better if execution quality suffers. Consider:
Maker Fee
The fee charged when you place a limit order that adds liquidity to the order book — typically lower than taker fees as an incentive for providing liquidity.
Taker Fee
The fee charged when your order immediately fills against existing orders in the book — you are 'taking' liquidity by demanding immediate execution.
Slippage
The difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual price at which it executes — caused by market movement between order placement and fill.
Bid-Ask Spread
The difference between the highest price a buyer will pay (bid) and the lowest price a seller will accept (ask) — a hidden cost on every trade.
Maker fees apply when you place a limit order that adds liquidity to the order book (your order sits and waits). Taker fees apply when your order immediately matches an existing order (market orders always take). Maker fees are almost always lower.
Significantly. A 0.05% taker fee on both sides of a trade means you need a 0.1% price move just to break even. For a scalper making 10 trades per day, fees can consume hundreds or thousands of dollars monthly.
Use limit orders instead of market orders, hold exchange tokens (BNB for Binance, etc.) for fee discounts, increase trading volume to reach lower fee tiers, and consider exchanges with maker rebates.
