Formula: volume × (maker share × maker fee + taker share × taker fee), using each venue’s published base-tier rates read on 10 November 2026. Funding, spread, slippage and withdrawal fees are not included. At higher volumes most venues move you to a VIP tier with lower rates, so treat large-volume results as an upper bound.

How the exchange cost comparison works
One volume, every fee schedule
Monthly fees = futures volume × (maker share × maker fee + taker share × taker fee), plus the same sum for spot volume at spot rates. The two rates are explained in maker vs taker fees. Volume counts both the opening and the closing fill of each trade.
Why maker share changes the ranking
Exchanges with a low maker fee and a high taker fee are cheap for resting limit orders and expensive for market orders. Moving the maker slider from 0% to 100% can reorder the table, so set it to how you really trade.
What the bill leaves out
Base-tier rates only: no VIP tiers, token discounts or rebates, so large-volume results are an upper bound. Funding payments, spread, slippage and withdrawal fees are not in the figure either.
Common questions
It depends on the mix of maker and taker fills. At published base-tier rates, a taker-heavy trader pays least where the taker fee is lowest, and a maker-heavy trader where the maker fee is lowest. Enter your own volume and maker share above to see the ranking for your trading.
Add up the notional value of every fill in a month: position size × price for each open and each close. A $5,000 position opened and closed once is $10,000 of volume. Most exchanges show 30-day volume on the fee or VIP page of your account.
Traders who enter and exit with market or stop orders are close to 0% maker. Traders who place limit orders and wait to be filled are close to 100%. A limit entry with a stop-loss or market exit is about 50%.
No. It uses the base tier every new account starts on. Higher 30-day volume or a larger balance moves an account to a VIP tier with lower rates, so the real bill for a large trader is lower than shown.
