Fee percentages are hard to compare in the abstract. Put in a monthly volume and the difference between exchanges becomes a number in your currency.
Total notional traded per month, in USD. For leveraged futures this is position size, not margin, 10x on $1,000 of margin is $10,000 of volume.
Limit orders that rest on the book are maker fills; market orders are taker fills. Most retail flow is taker-heavy.

Standard-tier fees with the referral discount applied. Excludes funding, spread and withdrawal costs. An estimate for comparison, not a quote. Actual fees depend on your VIP tier, native-token discounts, and promotions running at the time you trade.
Common questions
- What counts as trading volume for leveraged futures?
- Position size, not margin. If you open a $10,000 position using $1,000 of margin at 10x leverage, that is $10,000 of volume and fees are charged on the full $10,000. Closing the position is a second $10,000 of volume. This is why a small account trading with leverage can generate far more fees than its balance suggests.
- Why does the maker share slider change which exchange wins?
- Because maker and taker fees differ, sometimes by three times or more on futures. An exchange charging nothing for maker orders is unbeatable for a trader who works limit orders, and merely average for one who hits market orders. A single blended number would hide that, so the mix is an input rather than an assumption.
- Are VIP or token discounts included?
- No. VIP tiers depend on your 30-day volume and native-token holdings, which differ per account and cannot be known here. Every rate is the standard tier a newly created account pays, plus the referral discount, which applies from the first trade regardless of volume.
- What is not included in the estimate?
- Funding rates on perpetual positions, spread and slippage, deposit and withdrawal fees, and any promotional rate running at the time you trade. On large orders slippage frequently exceeds the entire fee difference between exchanges, so treat this as a fee comparison rather than a total cost of trading.
- Why are all figures in USD?
- Global derivatives volume is denominated in USDT, so USD is the currency the underlying numbers are actually in. Converting to another currency would require a hardcoded exchange rate that silently goes stale, and a comparison site showing an out-of-date number is worse than one showing a foreign currency.
