Maker vs taker fee calculator
See what a crypto trade costs as a maker order and as a taker order, and what your monthly trading fees come to for your own mix of orders. Free, no sign-up, nothing leaves your browser.
Use the fees your exchange shows for your account; the starting rates are only an example. Spreads, network fees and deposit or withdrawal fees are not included. This is a calculator, not advice.
Makers and takers
A maker adds an order to the book, such as an offer to buy at a price below today's. A taker removes liquidity by accepting a price that is already on offer. Exchanges often charge makers less because waiting orders make the market deeper for everyone.
A worked example
On an exchange charging 0.1% to makers and 0.2% to takers, a £1,000 trade costs £1 as a maker and £2 as a taker. That difference adds up quickly for people who trade often.
