Exchange fees
Updated 2026-10-29
A spot trade pays a fee twice: when you buy and when you sell. With a small profit target, that matters a lot.
A +1% trade after fees
| Fee per side | Round trip | A +1% move nets |
|---|---|---|
| 0.05% | 0.10% | +0.90% |
| 0.10% | 0.20% | +0.80% |
| 0.40% | 0.80% | +0.20% |
| 0.80% | 1.60% | −0.60% |
The fee comparison lists the base-tier spot maker and taker fees of the 23 exchanges behind the site's charts, cheapest first, with a source for each. Fees drop with trading volume and exchange tokens, and can differ by country and pair: always check the exchange's own fee page.
