Bybit Fees Explained — Complete 2026 Breakdown

Overview

Bybit uses a maker-taker fee model across all markets. Your exact rate depends on your VIP level, which is determined by your 30-day trading volume and asset balance.

This guide covers the standard fee schedule as of February 2026. All rates are subject to change — always check Bybit's official fee page for the latest numbers.

Spot Trading Fees

The base spot trading fee is 0.10% for both makers and takers. This is competitive with most major exchanges.

VIP 1 users (≥1M USDT monthly volume or ≥50K USDT balance) pay 0.06% maker / 0.08% taker. Higher VIP tiers can go as low as 0.01% maker / 0.03% taker.

Futures (Perpetual) Fees

This is where Bybit really shines. The base perpetual futures fee is 0.02% maker / 0.055% taker — among the lowest in the industry.

Makers actually benefit from limit orders here, paying less than half of what takers pay. If you're not in a rush, always use limit orders to save on fees.

VIP users enjoy even lower rates, down to 0.00% maker / 0.03% taker at the highest tiers.

How to Reduce Your Fees

• Sign up through a referral link (like ours) for an automatic discount
• Use limit orders instead of market orders to get maker rates
• Increase your 30-day trading volume to unlock VIP tiers
• Hold a balance of 50K+ USDT to qualify for VIP 1 without volume requirements
