Show which venue costs less for the way you actually trade — size, maker vs taker, and VIP tier you qualify for today.
When to use it
- You are choosing between two or more exchanges
- VIP tiers make headline fees misleading
- You want effective cost on a typical ticket size
- You will feed the winner into profit / break-even math
How to use it
- List each venue’s maker and taker %. Copy from the fee schedule or your account tier — not marketing banners.
- Enter a realistic notional. Use the size you trade most weeks so rankings match your behavior.
- Compare effective cost. See which schedule wins for maker-only vs taker-heavy flow.
- Continue to break-even and profit. Paste the same fees into fee break-even and the profit calculator.
Benefits
- Size-aware fee ranking
- Maker/taker scenarios side by side
- Links into P&L workflow
- No account or API keys required
Pitfalls to avoid
- Spread and slippage can dominate fees
- Withdrawal fees are separate
- Promos and fee tokens change effective rates
- Informational only — not a brokerage
When to use fee compare vs P2P premium
Use exchange fee compare for CEX percent schedules. Use P2P premium when the real cost is a local advert vs mid-market PKR/INR/NGN. Many retail round-trips need both: CEX fees to acquire USDT, then P2P premium to cash out.
Worked example: 1% taker each way on a $10,000 ticket is $200 round-trip before spread. If another venue is 0.1% each way, the fee gap alone is $180 — unless the “cheap” book is so thin that slippage eats it. Pair this tool with mid-market converters for sanity checks.
Common mistakes
Modeling maker fees when you always market-take; ignoring that your VIP tier is lower than the homepage; forgetting deposit/withdrawal flat fees on small tickets.
