you want to check.

Use this for linear futures and perpetual contracts. Start with a UAE account fee snapshot from 24 September 2026, then check your own contract and rates. Funding is an editable example, not a current quote.

YOUR POSITION
FUNDINGPerpetual contracts

Use the signed funding rate shown by the exchange. Set periods to zero when no funding settlement applies.

What this estimate includes +

Opening and closing fees use their respective position values. A blank closing value uses the opening value. Funding assumes the opening position value and a constant rate for every settlement. The rebate assumes eligibility on both trading fees. Real entry, exit and funding values can differ. Funding itself is not rebated. Excludes spread, slippage, liquidation charges and price profit or loss. Coin-margined and inverse contracts require their own formulas.

OPENING, CLOSING AND FUNDING

How much does a complete futures trade cost?

A closing execution can have a different value from the opening trade. Enter each value separately to estimate both fees. Leave the optional closing value blank to use the opening value.

Illustration: opening value $10,000 at 0.05% costs $5. Closing value $12,000 at 0.05% costs $6. Trading fees total $11. If one funding settlement costs $1, the estimate is $12 before any eligible rebate. A confirmed 20% rebate on the trading fees returns $2.20, leaving $9.80 including that funding payment. These rates are examples, not account quotes.

The funding estimate holds the opening value and rate constant. Actual funding uses the value and rate at each settlement, so this tool does not reconstruct a changing position or its settlement history. Linear contracts only; this is not an inverse-contract, liquidation or trading-profit calculator.

Method reviewed 24 October 2026 against the official OKX opening and closing fee explanation. Fee presets remain the dated UAE account snapshots from 24 September 2026.

THE CALCULATION

Where does
the estimate
come from?

Calculate opening and closing fees from position value and the applicable rate. Add funding paid, subtract funding received, then subtract any eligible trading-fee rebate.

You pay to open and close

The opening fee covers just the entry. Closing the position also has a trading fee. Your exit may use a different rate or position value, so the final charge can differ from this estimate.

Funding depends on settlement

For a perpetual contract, count the funding settlements that apply while you hold it. You may pay or receive funding, and both its rate and settlement interval can change.

Rebates only change eligible fees

Apply a rebate only to fees covered by your offer. It won’t reduce funding or your exposure to market movements.

See a simple worked example +

Using the OKX UAE taker rate shown in the snapshot, an unchanged $10,000 position with 0.25% opening and closing fees incurs $50 in trading fees. If an eligible 20% rebate applies to both fees, it returns $10. With an example positive 0.01% funding settlement, a long pays $1 and a short receives $1. Net fees and funding are $41 for the long or $39 for the short, before other costs and market movements.

About margin,
funding and fees

How do I use this as a Binance futures fee calculator?+

Choose a Binance USDT futures preset, then replace the dated example rates with your own account rates. Enter the position value, opening and closing fee rates, funding and any confirmed rebate. Enter a different closing position value if needed; leave it blank to use the opening value.

Can I calculate Bybit futures fees here?+

Yes, for a linear contract estimate: select My own rates and enter your Bybit opening and closing fee rates. Set the rebate to zero unless your account confirms one. Enter the funding rate, direction and periods. This is not an inverse-contract or options calculator.

Does the calculator include a Bybit referral or promo code?+

No. It uses the rates you enter and does not apply a Bybit referral code, promo code or signup bonus. Check any invitation and reward terms directly on Bybit before creating an account.

How do I calculate crypto futures fees and funding?+

Multiply each trade’s position value by its fee rate. Add opening and closing fees, then add funding paid or subtract funding received.

Are opening and closing futures fees always the same?+

No. Entry and exit can have different position values, maker or taker rates and fee tiers. Calculate the opening and closing fee separately.

Are futures fees based on margin or position value?+

Linear futures fees use the full traded position value. A $10,000 position at a 0.05% fee costs $5 for that execution, regardless of the margin used.

Can the funding result be negative?+

Yes. A negative funding cost in this calculator means you receive funding. It reduces the estimated cost but does not establish a trading profit.

Which exchange has the lowest futures fees?+

There is no single cheapest exchange for every account and contract. Compare matching futures products using your trading rates and funding costs.

Is FUTURESFEES a signup or rebate code? +

It is a referral code associated with an eligible trading-fee rebate on OKX. New users follow the invitation; existing users use the separate linking route. Check the product-specific benefit directly on the exchange.

Sources & calculation method ↗

Fee presets: logged-in OKX UAE Futures and Binance UAE USDⓈ-M USDT fee screenshots, 24 September 2026. Read Funding payments explained and Read fee explanation. Net estimate = (opening value × opening rate ÷ 100 + closing value × closing rate ÷ 100) × (1 − rebate ÷ 100) + signed funding cost. Funding cost uses opening value × funding rate ÷ 100 × settlement periods, with the direction setting determining whether you pay or receive. The presets are dated account snapshots. Funding and position size are examples. Check your own rates before relying on the estimate.

Existing OKX account

For an existing OKX account, open the account-linking page and enter DXB20. This is different from the code for a new sign-up. An existing referral relationship or regional restrictions may affect eligibility; check the result shown by OKX.

Using OKX on Android

For a new account, use the coded OKX sign-up button on this page and confirm FUTURESFEES is shown before completing registration. This page does not send you to a separate app-download route.

Understand futures costs

Opening and closing commissions are separate from funding. Estimate each commission using position value and its fee rate. Funding can be paid or received and can change while a position remains open.

Fee schedule explained

Take the fee rate that applies to your account, including any fee-payment discount. Then apply a referral rebate only if you qualify for it. Compare the same kind of trade on each exchange; the highest rebate percentage may not give you the lowest fee.

Ways to reduce trading fees

Check your account tier, maker or taker rate, fee-payment options and eligible referral rebate. A limit order is not automatically a maker order: it must add liquidity rather than fill immediately.

Understand fee rebates

A rebate gives you back part of a qualifying trading fee. For example, a 20% rebate on $100 of eligible fees returns $20. It doesn’t repay deposits or trading losses. Check the benefit shown during registration before relying on it.
