OKX futures trading fees are charged when the order is filled, separate from spot fees. The fee is calculated based on the position notional value multiplied by the applicable fee rate, which differs between maker/taker orders and Regular/VIP tiers.
Official OKX formula: Fee = Rate × (Contracts × Multiplier × Contract Size × Fill Price). Example: 100 BTCUSDT contracts with 1 BTC notional at 20,000 USDT, taker rate 0.05% = 10 USDT fee; maker rate 0.02% = 4 USDT fee.
Maker orders add liquidity and typically receive a lower rate. Taker orders take liquidity and pay a higher rate. For high-frequency traders, this gap accumulates significantly over monthly volume.
Leverage does not directly change the fee rate, but because fees are charged on notional value (not just margin), fee pressure on your margin grows with higher leverage. This is especially important for scalping.
OKX sets fee tiers based on assets under management (AUM) and 30-day trading volume, with tiers updated daily. The higher your VIP level, the lower the maker and taker rates.
| User Tier | Maker | Taker |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | 0.020% | 0.050% |
| VIP 1 | 0.016% | 0.040% |
| VIP 2 | 0.014% | 0.035% |
| VIP 3 | 0.012% | 0.030% |
| VIP 4 | 0.010% | 0.028% |
| VIP 5 | 0.008% | 0.025% |
| VIP 6 | 0.005% | 0.022% |
| VIP 7 | 0.000% | 0.020% |
| VIP 8 | -0.005% | 0.018% |
| VIP 9 | -0.008% | 0.015% |
OKX's official FAQ states that for USDT- and USDC-margined perpetual and expiry futures, trading fee equals fee rate multiplied by contracts × multiplier × contract size × fill price.
Yes. OKX explains that futures trading fees are charged when the order is filled, so users should estimate both entry and exit costs.
Generally yes. OKX's own futures examples use a lower maker fee than taker fee, illustrating the difference clearly.
OKX says Regular and VIP fee tiers are based on assets under management and 30-day trading volume, with tiers updated daily.
Leverage does not directly change the fee rate, but it can make fees feel larger relative to your margin because fees are charged on notional exposure rather than only posted margin.
