Trading fees are calculated as a percentage of trade value. A 0.10% taker fee on 500 USDT equals 0.50 USDT per side. Round-trip trades (buy then sell) double that cost. Small percentage differences between exchanges become meaningful at larger position sizes.
The table below ranks exchanges by taker fee on a 500 USDT spot trade. Maker fees are shown for traders using limit orders. If you trade futures, visit our futures fee comparison for perpetual contract rates on the same notional size.
VIP programs can reduce these costs significantly. A trader moving 1 million USDT monthly may qualify for VIP tiers that cut taker fees by 50% or more on some platforms. Use the volume field in our calculators to preview your tier.
