Exchange Fee Calculator
See exactly what a trade costs at your exchange's fee rate, and compare it against a lower rate to see what the difference adds up to.
Exchange fees are usually a small percentage of a trade, quoted separately for makers (orders that add liquidity) and takers (orders that remove it) — and takers almost always pay more. A rate that looks tiny per trade compounds fast if you trade often, so this calculator shows the fee on a single trade and the yearly difference between two rates if you traded that amount every month.

Cómo funciona
Every centralized exchange charges a percentage fee on each trade, and that rate is almost always split into two tiers: maker fees for orders that add liquidity to the order book (limit orders that don't fill immediately), and taker fees for orders that remove liquidity (market orders, or limit orders that fill right away). Taker fees are typically higher, because the exchange rewards makers for providing the liquidity that lets takers trade instantly. This calculator takes a trade amount and your exchange's fee rate and shows exactly what you'll pay in absolute terms — not just the percentage. It also lets you compare that rate against a second one, so you can see in dollar terms what a seemingly small difference, like 0.4% versus 0.1%, actually costs — both on this one trade and, extrapolated, over a year of regular trading.
Ejemplo práctico
Suppose you're trading $2,000 at a 0.5% taker fee, and comparing it against a 0.1% rate elsewhere. Fee at 0.5%: $2,000 × 0.005 = $10.00 Fee at 0.1%: $2,000 × 0.001 = $2.00 Difference per trade: $8.00 If you traded $2,000 every month, that $8.00 gap becomes $96.00 a year — for making no other change than choosing where you route the trade.
Fee schedules change, often step down at higher trading volumes, and sometimes differ for spot versus derivatives or for specific trading pairs — always check the exchange's current fee page before you trade, rather than relying on a rate you saw once. This tool also doesn't account for withdrawal fees, spread or slippage, which can matter as much as the headline trading fee.
Preguntas frecuentes
What's the difference between a maker and a taker fee?
A maker fee applies when your order adds liquidity to the order book — typically a limit order that doesn't fill immediately. A taker fee applies when your order removes liquidity by filling an existing order right away, such as a market order; taker fees are usually higher.
Why do exchange fees matter if the percentage looks small?
A fee of even a fraction of a percent compounds every time you trade. Someone trading the same amount monthly can lose meaningfully more per year to a 0.5% rate than a 0.1% one, even though the difference looks tiny on any single trade.
Do all exchanges charge the same fees?
No — rates vary widely between exchanges and often drop at higher monthly trading volumes or when paying fees in the exchange's native token. Always check the specific fee schedule for the pair and order type you're using.
Does a lower fee always mean a better exchange?
Not on its own. A low fee is worth little if the exchange has weak custody practices or no proof of reserves — check its Safety Grade alongside its fees before moving funds.

The math checks out. Does the exchange?
A good rate or a clean DCA position means little on an exchange with weak custody or no proof of reserves. Check its Safety Grade before you move funds.
