    Frequently Asked Questions

    How are crypto exchange fees calculated?+
    Most exchanges charge a percentage of each trade's notional value. For example, a 0.10% fee on a $10,000 trade costs $10. Since fees apply on both entry and exit, a round-trip trade costs double. Limit orders that sit on the book generally incur lower fees than market orders that execute immediately.
    What's the difference between maker and taker fees?+
    When your order rests on the book waiting to be matched — like a limit buy below the current price — you are 'making' the market, and the exchange rewards you with a lower fee. When your order fills instantly against existing orders — like a market buy — you are 'taking' liquidity, and the fee is higher. Since most beginners default to market orders, this calculator uses taker fees as the starting assumption.
    Why do fees matter so much?+
    Fees compound over time. Count executions, not positions: a trader placing 20 executions a month of $10,000 each pays $2,400 a year at 0.10% but $19,200 a year at 0.80% — $16,800 of unnecessary cost, money that could be invested or used as margin. Counting entry and exit as a round trip doubles both figures. Choosing a low-fee exchange is one of the easiest ways to improve returns.
    Are futures trading fees lower than spot fees?+
    Yes, significantly. Futures taker fees are typically 0.05% vs 0.10% for spot. This is because futures trading generates higher volume and exchanges compete aggressively on derivatives fees. However, futures also involve funding rate costs which are not included in this calculator.
    Do any exchanges offer zero-fee trading?+
    Some exchanges offer zero-fee promotions on specific pairs or for new users, but no major exchange offers permanent zero-fee trading across all pairs. The closest is Binance at 0.10% spot: its 25% BNB fee discount takes both maker and taker to 0.075%, a discount this calculator does not model.

    Trading fees are not the only fee

    The calculator above covers what an exchange charges you to trade. Moving crypto onto and off the exchange is billed separately — and on a small balance the withdrawal is often the larger of the two.

    • Trading fee — a percentage of each trade, maker or taker. It scales with how much you trade.
    • Withdrawal fee — a flat amount per withdrawal, set by the exchange and charged in the coin you are withdrawing. It does not scale with your balance, so it hurts small withdrawals most.
    • Network gas — what the blockchain itself charges. On Ethereum that is the base fee plus your tip, and you pay it directly whenever you transact from your own wallet.

    The distinction matters because an exchange's flat withdrawal fee is its own price, not a pass-through of the network cost. Exchanges set it in advance and adjust it slowly, while Ethereum gas moves block by block. When gas is cheap — as it often is outside congestion spikes; check the live gas tracker before you withdraw — a fixed withdrawal fee can sit well above what the transaction actually costs the exchange to send.

    Before you withdraw, compare the exchange's quoted withdrawal fee against the live network cost. If the gap is wide and the withdrawal is not urgent, batching several small withdrawals into one larger one avoids paying that flat fee over and over.

    Two practical consequences. Withdrawing over a cheaper network — an L2, or any chain the exchange prices lower — usually costs a fraction of a mainnet withdrawal. And a trade on a centralised exchange burns no gas at all: it settles on the exchange's internal ledger and never touches the chain. Gas only enters when you move funds in or out.
