Crypto maker taker fees guide

How to review crypto maker and taker fees before choosing an order type.

Crypto maker and taker fees depend on whether an order adds liquidity to the book or removes liquidity from it. The fee outcome can change when a limit order rests, crosses immediately, partially fills, or uses post-only rules.

Fast answer

Crypto maker/taker fee checks should show liquidity role, order type, post-only setting, fee tier, partial fills, and final net cost.

Before claiming low fees, record whether the order added or removed liquidity, the order type, post-only setting, immediate match state, fee tier, partial fills, and final fee charged.

Reader rule

A limit order is not automatically a maker order if it matches existing liquidity immediately.

Maker/taker checks

What to inspect in maker and taker fees.

Liquidity role

Maker orders add resting liquidity; taker orders consume existing liquidity.

Order behavior

A market order is usually taker, while a limit order can be maker or taker depending on fill.

Post-only control

Post-only settings can help avoid immediate taker execution but may cancel the order.

Partial fills

Different portions of an order may need separate fee treatment.

Source context
