BitMEX fees — FAQ
What are BitMEX's trading fees?
On the base tier BitMEX charges 0.05% to takers and 0.05% to makers on spot, and 0.05% to takers on futures. A market order pays the taker rate; a limit order that rests on the book pays the maker rate.
How do I lower my fees on BitMEX?
BitMEX publishes a single rate rather than a volume ladder. It does not offer a discount for paying fees in an exchange token.
What does it cost to withdraw from BitMEX?
Withdrawal fees are a flat amount of the coin, charged per network, so they hurt small withdrawals most — a fee that is 0.1% of $10,000 is 1% of $1,000. The table above prices every open network for the coin you pick, using the live coin price, and adds it to the trading fee so you see the real all-in cost.
Is BitMEX cheap compared with other exchanges?
On base-tier cost for a $10,000 round trip it ranks #31 of the 122 exchanges we track. That ranking ignores VIP tiers and token discounts, which can move an exchange a long way — use the full comparison to rank them with your own volume.
