Bybit charges more than one kind of fee, and the published trading rate is only part of your cost. The steps below show where to find each schedule and how to estimate the total before you confirm an order. You will need your account tier, order size, holding time, asset, and network.
Where are Bybit's fees listed?
Bybit publishes fee schedules on its site for spot, derivatives, deposits, and withdrawals. Trading pages show maker and taker rates by product and account tier. Deposit and withdrawal pages list terms by asset, network, and payment method. Check your product's page on the day you trade because rates can change.
Assess Bybit fees step by step
A single trade can carry several charges. Work through these steps in order before you confirm any order.
- 1Find maker or taker rateCheck the spot or derivatives schedule for your product and account tier. A maker order that adds liquidity usually pays less than a taker order that fills immediately.
- 2Check derivatives fundingFor derivatives, note the current funding rate and how often it applies. Estimate funding over your holding time and add any liquidation fee.
- 3Compare deposit and withdrawal feesLook at deposit, withdrawal, and P2P terms by asset, network, and payment method. A cheap trade can still lose to an expensive withdrawal.
- 4Calculate and recheckMultiply the fee rate by your order size. Add expected funding, any liquidation fee, and deposit or withdrawal charges, then check the order preview before you confirm.
What records and safety steps come after?
Keep a record of every Bybit fee you pay because US tax rules can require it. The IRS treats crypto as property, so you report gains and losses when you sell, trade one crypto for another, or pay with crypto. Buying crypto with US dollars is not taxable, but fees usually adjust your cost basis or reduce your proceeds.
