Kraken fees — FAQ

What are Kraken's trading fees?

On the base tier Kraken charges 0.8% to takers and 0.4% 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 Kraken?

Kraken runs a 17-step volume ladder — move the 30-day volume control above to see the rate you would actually pay. It does not offer a discount for paying fees in an exchange token.

What does it cost to withdraw from Kraken?

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 Kraken cheap compared with other exchanges?

On base-tier cost for a $10,000 round trip it ranks #119 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.
