Trading fee: Estimating a Fee from Trading Notional
A trading fee applies a percentage to notional value. Compute each charged side of a transaction rather than assuming that one calculation covers a round trip.
Use the Trading fee Calculator to enter your own figures and compare the result with the worked example below.
Trading fee formula
Fee = Notional value × Fee rate
Worked example
| Item | Example value |
|---|---|
| Notional value | 10000 USD |
| Fee rate | 0.1 % |
| Trading fee | 10 USD |
These are illustrative inputs, not current prices, rates or recommended targets. Where a currency is shown, keep all comparable money amounts in the same currency; conversion examples identify the two sides separately.
How to interpret the result
Maker and taker rates, minimum charges and discounts can differ. Financing and withdrawal fees are separate costs.
