What does this perp trade cost finder include?

It estimates round-trip trading fees, spread, slippage, funding over your holding period, and any other cost you enter. It does not provide a live quote or include unentered liquidation, borrow, withdrawal, or tax costs.

Does a 0% trading fee mean a perp trade is free?

No. Funding, spread, slippage, liquidation, and withdrawal costs can still make a 0% fee venue expensive. Use the calculator as a scenario estimate, then verify the venue's live terms and quote before trading.

Does this tool use live venue quotes?

It compares current public order-book or indicative quote data for supported venues when the selected market and size have enough coverage. The comparison is still an estimate, so verify the venue's final execution quote before trading.

Is the liquidation estimate exact?

No. The exposure warning is a rough leverage-based estimate before maintenance margin, mark-price rules, fees, and venue-specific liquidation mechanics. Use the platform's own margin calculator for an actual order.

Trade scenario

Build the position

Cost assumptions

Execution fee (%) Use maker or taker fee for the order you expect to execute. Round-trip spread (%) Your estimated entry and exit spread combined. Funding assumption (%) Positive means you pay; negative means you receive. Holding period (hours) Use the venue's current funding convention for this scenario. Round-trip slippage (%) Your estimated execution impact on entry and exit combined. Other costs ($) Optional withdrawal, bridge, borrow, or settlement estimate.

Scenario estimate first. Use the assumptions to test the trade idea, then compare current public venue data where the market feed is complete enough to calculate.

How to read the estimate

The number is a decision filter, not a promise. A zero-fee venue can still be expensive if its spread is wide, funding is unfavorable, slippage is high, or the position is liquidated before the trade thesis works.

Trading cost estimate inputs and exclusions
Component	What it estimates	What it leaves out
Fees	Entry and exit maker fee on notional exposure	Rebates, tiered schedules, withdrawal fees
Spread	Your entered round-trip quote difference	Market impact and price movement while filling
Slippage	Your entered execution impact on notional	Actual fill distribution and market movement
Funding	Your entered funding rate over the holding period	Venue-specific intervals, rate changes, and side rules
Other costs	Optional withdrawal, bridge, borrow, or settlement estimate	Costs you did not enter
Leverage warning	Simple collateral ÷ notional exposure	Maintenance margin, mark price, liquidation fee, insurance fund

What to check before using a perp DEX

Confirm the venue's live fee schedule, funding convention, mark-price oracle, liquidation threshold, withdrawal rules, and market-specific spread. The venue comparison uses public data where available, but it does not guarantee a fill. Then compare the expected cost with the size and holding period of the trade—not just the headline maker fee.

Use the fee comparison to widen the venue search, the comparison hub when two venues survive your first filter, and the individual review before connecting a wallet.
