Trading Fee Calculator
See exactly what your commissions cost — in dollars and in R multiples. Most calculators stop at a dollar figure. This one shows you how many units of your risk you're paying per trade.
Trade Parameters
USDT-M perpetuals. Funding rate is typical; actual rate varies every 8h.
0.010% per 8h (3 funding periods)
Your Risk Setup
1R = $500.00
Cost Breakdown
0.055% × $10,000
0.140% of position
Your trade must move at least this much to cover fees
1R = $500.00 (1% of $50,000)
What this means
Fees are minimal (<0.1R). This exchange/structure has low friction for your setup.
Fee rates are standard/non-VIP tiers. Funding rates are typical values — actual rates update every 8 hours and vary with market conditions. Always verify current rates on your exchange.
What is a R multiple?
R is your initial risk on a trade — the dollar distance from entry to stop loss. Expressing fees in R tells you: "this trade costs me 0.2R just in commissions." That's far more actionable than knowing it costs $40.
Why does this matter?
A strategy with a 2R average win needs to cover fees before it profits. If fees cost 0.4R per round trip, your effective edge drops from 2R to 1.6R — a 20% reduction. At scale, this is the difference between profitable and break-even.
Funding rate on perps
Perpetual futures have no expiry but charge funding every 8 hours. Long holders pay when funding is positive (markets bullish), short holders pay when negative. On multi-day holds, funding can exceed your entry/exit fees.
