Crypto Fee and Spread Calculator

Enter a trade size, the fee rate on entry and exit, the bid-ask spread, and any network fees. The calculator returns the full round-trip cost in dollars and as a percentage, the price move you need before the trade is in profit, and what that cost adds up to over a month and a year at your trading frequency.

Fees are the one variable in trading that's entirely under your control, and the one most people never calculate.

Trade costs

$

Value of one position, entered and exited once.

%

Full spread between best bid and best ask. Majors on large venues sit near 0.01% to 0.05%; small caps can be 1% or more.

%

Maker or taker rate on the way in.

%

Maker or taker rate on the way out.

$

Deposit, bridge or gas cost to get the funds to the venue.

$

Withdrawal or gas cost to leave.

For the monthly and yearly totals.

Enter a trade size to see the round-trip cost.

The four costs of a trade

Every round trip pays up to four things: the exchange fee on entry, the exchange fee on exit, half the spread on each side (you buy at the ask and sell at the bid), and any network fee to move coins on or off the venue. The exchange fee is the visible one. The spread is invisible, and on thin markets it can be larger. On decentralized exchanges the pool fee plays the role of the exchange fee and gas plays the role of the network fee; the AMM guide covers slippage, which is the DEX version of spread.

Round trip and break-even

Break-even is the price move at which proceeds after exit costs equal what you paid including entry costs. It's a little more than the sum of the percentages, because the exit fee is charged on a larger amount if the price rose.

Break-even move = (size x (1 + entry fee + spread / 2) + network fees) / (size x (1 - exit fee - spread / 2)) - 1

Maker versus taker

A maker order rests on the book and is filled by someone else. A taker order hits an existing order. Exchanges charge makers less, sometimes nothing, because makers provide the liquidity the venue sells. If your strategy allows limit orders, the difference between maker and taker tiers is often larger than the difference between exchanges.
