You can only work out your trading costs once you know the fees. Trading costs mainly consist of trading fees and, for perpetual futures, funding fees; P2P, Convert, deposits and withdrawals are each charged differently. Below we go through each product in turn. The rate shown on the order page always applies.
Spot fees
Spot trading fees start from 0.1% per trade. Some trading pairs are in a higher fee tier; the order panel shows the exact fee for each pair. Go to spot trading.
Perpetual futures fees
Perpetual futures fees are calculated on the position value and charged once when you open and once when you close:
- Maker: 0.02%
- Taker: 0.06%
A maker order is a limit order that rests on the order book and waits for someone else to fill it; a taker order fills immediately against orders already on the book. Example: opening a position worth 1,000 USDT as a taker costs 0.6 USDT in fees; when you close, the fee is charged again on the position value at that time.
Funding fees
Perpetual futures have no expiry date. At each funding time shown on the contract page, longs and shorts exchange a funding fee. The "Funding rate / Countdown" on the trading screen shows the rate and the time left until the next settlement. You may have to pay a funding fee, or you may receive one.
Other fees
- P2P: the platform fee is 0 for both buyer and seller.
- Convert: the quote already includes a 0.1% spread, with no separate fee.
- Deposits: Akunosai charges nothing; the sending wallet charges its own network fee.
- Withdrawals: the network fee is shown on the withdrawal page, so you see it before you confirm.
Invite friends
When friends you invite sign up and trade, you receive 25% of the spot and futures fees they actually pay, for 365 days, paid daily in USDT. Your friends do not pay any extra fees because of this. See Invite friends for details.
