Final discount depends on the official signup offer shown by OKX.
OKX taker fee is the fee charged when your order removes liquidity from the order book — typically market orders or limit orders that fill immediately. OKX publicly separates taker and maker rates for both Spot and Futures on its official fee page, so each market should be estimated independently.
Spot Taker Fee = Trade Value × Spot Taker Rate. Futures Taker Fee = Position Value × Futures Taker Rate. Extra cost vs maker = Taker Fee − Maker Fee. For active traders, multiply by monthly trade count to see the real drag on P&L.
OKX lists Spot and Futures tiers on separate tables. Spot taker for Regular is around 0.100%, while USDT/USDC perpetual taker for Regular is around 0.050%. Futures taker is cheaper per notional, but leverage amplifies the effective fee pressure on margin.
A single trade difference looks small — a few basis points. But across hundreds of trades per month, the cumulative extra cost becomes material. When market conditions allow, favoring limit maker entries can save significant cost over time.
OKX states that user tier depends on assets under management and 30-day trading volume, updated daily. Higher VIP tiers get significantly lower taker rates — which matters a lot for traders who rely on market orders.
| User Tier | Maker (%) | Taker (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | 0.080% | 0.100% |
| VIP 1 | 0.045% | 0.060% |
| VIP 2 | 0.040% | 0.050% |
| VIP 3 | 0.030% | 0.040% |
| VIP 4 | 0.020% | 0.030% |
| VIP 5 | 0.010% | 0.020% |
| VIP 6 | 0.005% | 0.015% |
| VIP 7 | -0.005% | 0.010% |
| VIP 8 | -0.010% | 0.008% |
