Crypto trading cost calculator

This calculator estimates what your spot trades might cost you. Enter a monthly volume and pick maker or taker, and it ranks exchanges by estimated monthly cost from their published fees. It is a planning tool to help you compare — an estimate only, not a quote or a guarantee of the price you will pay. Spot trading only.

Estimate only — not investment advice. Figures use each exchange's published entry-tier maker/taker fee (spot). It excludes withdrawal/network fees, the higher "simple-buy" markup, and volume discounts. Crypto-assets are volatile and you can lose money. Spot only — no leverage or derivatives. Verify current fees and your local rules at the exchange before trading.

This is informational, not investment advice. Crypto-assets are volatile and you can lose money. We cover spot trading only — no leverage or derivatives. Fees change and vary by 30-day volume, asset, pair and region — always verify current figures on the exchange's own site.

What the calculator estimates

Give it a monthly spot volume and an order type — maker (limit) or taker (market) — and it applies each exchange's published entry-tier fee to estimate your monthly cost, then ranks cheapest first.

It uses the pro/advanced order-book rate, not the more expensive simple-buy markup, so the figures reflect the lower cost you get when you use the advanced interface.

The output is an estimate based on the volume you enter. Your actual cost depends on your fee tier, the assets and pairs you trade, and the exchange's current schedule.

How to use the result

Use the estimate to compare exchanges on a like-for-like basis: same volume, same order type. That makes a low headline fee easy to weigh against a higher one.

Remember to compare the path you will actually use — simple-buy versus advanced order book — because the cost can differ sharply, and the simple-buy markup is not modelled here.

The calculator does not account for withdrawal/network fees, stablecoin-pair discounts, currency conversion or taxes. Treat the number as a guide, not the final cost.

Limitations and caveats

This tool cannot see live prices or your specific account tier. It applies each exchange's published entry-tier fee to the volume you enter, which you should check against the exchange's live schedule on the day.

Fees change frequently and vary by 30-day volume, asset, pair and region. A figure that was accurate last month may not be accurate now.

Nothing here is investment advice or a recommendation to trade. Crypto-assets are volatile and you can lose money. Confirm everything with the exchange and check your local regulations before acting.
