Traders can be classified as market takers or market makers. For every executed order, trading fees are incurred. 

• Market takers are traders who seek liquidity and take liquidity off the book immediately. They’re charged a taker fee. 

• Market makers, who provide liquidity and increase the market depth of the order book, are charged a maker fee. 

• The trading fee is deducted from the account balance, and it doesn’t affect the initial margin of the order.

• Traders can view their incurred trading fees from the trading history.

Here are the details of the different fees incurred when trading Perpetual & Futures contracts.

 

 

• Inverse Perpetual & Futures Contract
• USDT Perpetual & Futures Contract
• USDC Perpetual & Futures Contract

 

 

 

 

Inverse Perpetual & Futures Contract

1. Trading Fee

 

 

 

Formula

Trading Fee = Order Value × Trading Fee Rate

Order Value = Quantity / Executed Price

 

 

Example

Trader A buys 10,000 BTCUSD contracts using a Market order.

Trader B sells 10,000 BTCUSD contracts using a Limit order.

 

Assuming that the execution price is $8,000:

Taker fee for Trader A = 10,000/8,000 × 0.055% = 0.0006875 BTC

Maker fee for Trader B = 10,000/8,000 × 0.02% = 0.00025 BTC

 

Hence, upon execution, Trader A will pay a 0.0006875 BTC Taker's fee and Trader B will pay a 0.00025 BTC Maker’s fee.

 

 

 

2. Settlement Fee (Only applicable to Inverse Futures Contract)

All Futures contracts have an expiration date (also known as a settlement date), and due to this product characteristic, all Futures positions will be entirely closed by the specified settlement date. Therefore, when traders decide not to manually close their position, at the point of reaching the settlement date, the system will automatically settle the position. In the process, a 0.05% settlement fee will be collected by the platform.

 

 

Formula

Settlement Fee = Order Value × Settlement Fee Rate

Order Value = Quantity / Executed Price

 

 

Example

A trader holds a BTCUSD0331 Futures position of 10,000 quantities at $20,000. He decided not to manually close the position and hold the position until the settlement date. On Mar 31, 2023, at 08:00:00 UTC, the system will automatically close and settle his position.

 

Assuming that the settlement price is $20,600:

Settlement fee = (10,000/20,000) x 0.05% = 0.00025 BTC

 

Hence, upon the settlement date, the trader will need to pay 0.00025BTC of the settlement fee. 

 

Note: Please be informed that settlement fees are fixed (regardless of your VIP level) and will not be subject to any fee discounts or rebates unless otherwise specified in the campaign's Terms and Conditions.

 

 

 

3. Delisting Fee

If a trading pair no longer meets Bybit's stringent listing requirements, it will be delisted. Any open positions will be automatically closed before delisting. Positions closed due to delisting will be settled with a fixed settlement fee of 0.05%, while regular trading fees based on VIP levels will not apply.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

USDT Perpetual & Futures Contract

1. Trading Fee

 

 

 

Formula

Trading Fee = Order Value × Trading Fee Rate

Order Value = Quantity × Executed Price

 

 

Example

Trader A buys 10 BTC contracts using a Market order.

Trader B sells 10 BTC contracts using a Limit order.

 

Assuming that the execution price is 8,000 USDT:

Taker Fee for Trader A = 10 × 8000 × 0.055% = 44 USDT

Maker fee for Trader B = 10 × 8000 × 0.02% = 16 USDT

 

Hence, upon execution, Trader A will pay a 44 USDT Taker's fee and Trader B will pay a 16 USDT Maker’s fee.

 

 

 

2. Settlement Fee (Only applicable to USDT Futures Contracts)

All Futures contracts have an expiration date (also known as a settlement date) and due to this product characteristic, all Futures positions will be entirely closed by the specified settlement date. Therefore, when traders decide not to manually close their position, at the point of reaching the settlement date, the system will automatically settle the position. For USDT Futures Contracts, no settlement fee will be charged.

 

 

 

3. Delisting Fee

If a trading pair no longer meets Bybit's stringent listing requirements, it will be delisted. Any open positions will be automatically closed before delisting. Positions closed due to delisting will be settled with a fixed settlement fee of 0.05%, while regular trading fees based on VIP levels will not apply.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

USDC Perpetual & Futures Contract

1. Trading Fee

 

 

 

Formula

Trading Fee = Order Value × Trading Fee Rate

Order value = Order Quantity × Executed Price

 

 

Example

Trader A buys 10 BTC of BTC-PERP contract using a Market order.

Trader B sells 10 BTC of BTC-PERP contract using a Limit order.

 

Assuming that the execution price is $50,000:

Taker's Fee for Trader A = 10 × 50,000 × 0.055% = 275 USDC

Maker fee for Trader B = 10 × 50,000 × 0.02% = 100 USDC

 

Upon execution, Trader A pays a 275 USDC Taker's Fee, and Trader B will pay a 100 USDC Maker’s fee.
