Last reviewed: August 14, 2026. Bybit costs depend on the product, account, VIP tier, order type, region, and campaign. This guide uses Bybit’s published base rates as a reference and explains how to verify the charge that actually applies.

Published VIP 0 trading fees
Bybit’s Trading Fee Structure, updated July 23, 2026, lists the following VIP 0 base rates. The same page states that actual rates can vary by region, so this table is not a personalized quote.
| Product | Maker | Taker | Other cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spot | 0.1000% | 0.1000% | Conversion spread, margin interest, or withdrawal cost when applicable |
| Perpetual & futures | 0.0200% | 0.0550% | Funding for perpetuals; possible settlement fee for expiry contracts |
Maker versus taker
A maker order adds liquidity to the order book; a taker order removes available liquidity. The order’s actual execution determines the fee category. A limit order can still be a taker if it crosses the book immediately, while a post-only order is designed to avoid immediate execution and is canceled if it would take liquidity.
Calculate fees for both entry and exit. Partial fills can have different execution prices, and fees may be charged in a product-specific currency.
Perpetual funding is not a trading fee
Bybit’s Funding Fee Calculation, updated May 12, 2026, explains that funding payments are exchanged between long and short perpetual-position holders at the instrument’s funding time.
- Each pair can use a different interval and rate limit.
- A positive rate generally means longs pay shorts; a negative rate means shorts pay longs.
- Only positions held at the settlement time participate in that funding cycle.
- Funding can be deducted from available balance or, in some cases, position margin.
- Rate limits and settlement frequency can change during volatile markets.
Leverage does not directly multiply the fee rate, but it can increase position notional relative to your capital. That makes the same funding percentage a larger share of the margin you supplied.
Expiry settlement and liquidation-related costs
Bybit’s current USDT contract FAQ states that expiry contracts can have a 0.05% settlement fee when automatically settled at expiry. Bybit’s fee overview distinguishes liquidation fees by product and states that Bybit does not charge a liquidation fee for Perpetual and Futures Trading, while other products such as Spot Margin, Crypto Loan, or Options can have separate liquidation charges.
“No liquidation fee” does not mean liquidation is costless. A forced close can realize a substantial trading loss and include adverse execution, spread, funding already paid, and the loss of position margin.
Spot margin, borrowing, and interest
Borrowed assets can incur interest that changes over time and by asset. Review the live hourly or applicable borrowing rate, maximum borrowing amount, collateral ratio, and liquidation rule before using Spot Margin, Crypto Loan, or borrowing inside a Unified Trading Account.
Deposits and withdrawals
- Crypto deposit: Bybit may not charge a platform deposit fee, but the sending wallet or network can charge a fee. Use the supported coin, network, and memo/tag.
- Crypto withdrawal: minimums and withdrawal fees vary by coin and network and should be checked on the live withdrawal page.
- Fiat deposit or withdrawal: provider, bank, currency, region, and payment-method charges can apply.
- One-Click Buy: compare the quote, provider fee, spread, and final crypto amount rather than a single percentage.
- P2P: platform trading fees may differ from payment-provider or bank costs, and the user still faces counterparty and payment risk.
Convert, spread, and slippage
A service can advertise “zero trading fee” while using a conversion quote that includes spread. Compare the amount you receive with the spot order book and any available preview. For market orders, include slippage: the difference between the expected and average execution price.
TradFi commissions, spread, and swaps
Bybit’s TradFi Fees Explained says commission and swap charges vary by instrument. Overnight swap can be charged at the product’s rollover time, and a three-day swap can apply on a specified day. Check the live contract specification and Info panel.
Referral codes and fee claims
A referral or affiliate code can be recorded on an eligible account, but a headline does not prove the discount amount. Distinguish:
- a trading-fee benefit displayed to the user,
- a campaign reward with tasks and deadlines,
- an affiliate commission paid to a referrer, and
- a third-party cashback promise.
Verify BYBITDC on the registration or registered affiliate-code page and check My Fee Rate. ByDITT does not promise a separate cashback settlement in this fee guide.
