Compare real maker and taker fees across 9+ exchanges for any trade size. See exactly what each platform charges in dollars and crypto.
Rates are published base-tier spot trading fees for each exchange's advanced trading interface. Instant-buy card purchases cost significantly more (1.5%–4%). Actual fees vary with VIP tier, native-token discounts, and recent schedule changes—always confirm on the exchange before placing large trades. Withdrawal fees are on-chain network estimates.
Every time you buy or sell cryptocurrency on an exchange, the platform charges a fee — typically a percentage of the total trade value. These fees range from as low as 0.02% to over 0.6% for spot trading, and they are one of the largest controllable costs for active traders. On a $10,000 trade, the gap between the cheapest and priciest major exchange can exceed $50 per side.
Almost all major exchanges use a maker-taker model. A maker order sits on the order book waiting to be matched (a limit order), and the exchange rewards you for adding liquidity with a lower fee. A taker order matches existing orders immediately (a market order) and pays a higher fee for removing liquidity. The difference is usually small but compounds quickly if you trade often.
The fee calculator above pulls published base-tier spot rates from Binance, OKX, Bybit, Kraken, KuCoin, Gate.io, Gemini, Coinbase, and HTX. Enter your trade size, toggle between maker and taker, and optionally add the on-chain withdrawal fee to see your true all-in cost. Combine this with our DCA Optimizer to plan entries and the Token Safety Checker to vet what you buy.
Maker fees apply to limit orders that you place on the order book. Because your order provides ("makes") liquidity that other traders can match, exchanges reward you with a lower fee — sometimes zero. Use limit orders whenever you are not in a rush to fill.
Taker fees apply to market orders and any order that executes immediately against the existing order book. You are "taking" liquidity, so the fee is higher. Taker fees matter most for fast execution, stop-loss fills, and high-frequency trading.
The spread is the gap between the highest bid and the lowest ask. A wide spread is a hidden cost on top of the stated fee — you buy slightly above mid and sell slightly below. Low-liquidity pairs can have spreads that dwarf the trading fee itself.
Most exchanges charge a flat on-chain fee to withdraw crypto, set per blockchain network. These vary widely: withdrawing BTC might cost 0.00005 BTC on one exchange and 0.00015 on another. For frequent movers, this adds up fast.
The simple "Buy" button in most exchange apps routes through a brokerage that charges 1.5% to 4% plus a spread. To get the low published maker/taker rates, switch your account to the Advanced or Spot trading interface.
Exchanges lower your fees as your 30-day trading volume rises. A trader doing $50 a month and a trader doing $5 million a month see completely different schedules. Most also offer an extra 10% to 25% off if you hold and pay fees in their native token.
