MAKER FEE

LIMIT ORDER

Maker Fee: Lower Cost for Adding Liquidity

A maker fee is charged when you place a limit order that does not immediately match an existing order. Your order rests on the book, adds liquidity to the market, and earns you the lower fee rate — typically 0.10% to 0.40% depending on exchange and volume.

TAKER FEE

MARKET ORDER

Taker Fee: Higher Cost for Instant Execution

A taker fee is charged when your order fills immediately by consuming existing orders on the book. Market orders are always taker orders. Taker fees are higher — ranging from 0.10% to 0.60% — because removing liquidity strains the exchange's order book depth.

KEY RULE

IMPORTANT

Limit Orders Are Not Always Maker Orders

This is the most common mistake: using a limit order does not automatically make you a maker. If your limit buy price is at or above the current ask, it fills immediately and is classified as a taker trade. Only non-aggressive limit orders that rest on the book qualify for maker fees.

SAVE MONEY

STRATEGY

How to Always Pay Maker Fees

To consistently qualify for maker fees, place limit orders away from the current market price and enable post-only mode. This guarantees your order rests on the book. Hold exchange native tokens like BNB for additional discounts of up to 25%.
