Methodology

Where our fee and rebate data comes from

Every fee and rebate table on this site follows the rules on this page. We use only official exchange sources, date every figure, and read rebate rates from the same table we settle with — what you see is what is paid back to you.

1. How fees are collected

We record each exchange’s list fees for regular users (VIP0): maker and taker for spot and USDT-margined perpetuals. VIP tiers, platform-token discounts and limited-time promotions are not part of the list fee and are noted separately.

We only use sources the exchange publishes itself, in this order: the official fee page, then official support articles or announcements, then the exchange’s own public API. When a fee page is rendered in JavaScript and has no readable text, we read the exchange’s API and take the most common rate across all symbols, rather than a single pair such as BTC. We never use third-party compilations.

2. How the rebate rate is defined

Rebate rate = the part the exchange returns automatically + the extra part Fee Otter settles, one rate per exchange. On Binance, for example, it is 20% + 20% = 40%. Bybit has no exchange-side automatic layer, so the site shows the total.

That total is the number shown everywhere on the site; there is no second, higher or lower figure. OKX is a 20% auto-rebate; ask support about our exclusive OKX rewards and promotions.

Rates are read from the same rate settings we use for daily settlement, not a separate marketing copy, so every table on the site updates when it changes.

Rebates are fees paid straight back to you. They exclude VIP fee tiers and platform-token discounts such as BNB or GT, which stack on top.

3. How the net fee rate is calculated

The net fee rate is what you actually pay after the rebate. The rebate is calculated on the fee actually paid, so with a platform-token discount the discount applies first and the rebate second.

Net fee rate
list fee × (1 − rebate rate)
With a token discount
list fee × (1 − token discount) × (1 − rebate rate)
e.g. Gate futures taker
0.05% × (1 − 70%) = 0.015%
e.g. Binance spot, BNB on
0.10% × (1 − 25%) × (1 − 40%) = 0.045%

4. How often it is updated

  • Rebate rates: live. The rebate page and exchange pages read settlement data directly and refresh on every site update.
  • Fees: re-verified against official sources monthly and whenever an exchange announces a change; every exchange carries a verification date.
  • Monthly fee & rebate index: a snapshot each month, with past months kept for comparison.
  • Articles: tables carry a “fees verified” date, which changes only when facts change, not for formatting edits.

5. Limits and exceptions

  • Some exchanges price futures per symbol (for example MEXC); the table shows the rate most symbols use.
  • Tokenised stock and commodity (TradFi) perpetuals may have a separate fee schedule and are not covered here.
  • Limited-time promotions (such as an exchange’s temporary zero fees) are noted separately, not written into the list fee.
  • Users in different regions may see different fees or products; the official page you see when logged in prevails.

6. Who checks the data

The data is checked against each exchange’s official pages by Chang Xu. If you spot an error, tell us through support and we will verify, correct it and update the verification date. Contact support →
