OKX fees explained: trading, deposits and withdrawals
The site owner may earn a commission if you sign up with this code, at no extra cost to you. Not for residents of restricted regions (incl. U.S., Canada). Rewards vary by region and are not guaranteed. Independent guide, not an official OKX site.
Short answer: third-party fee summaries list OKX's regular-tier spot rates at about 0.08% maker / 0.10% taker, and perpetual and futures rates at about 0.02% maker / 0.05% taker. Crypto deposits have no OKX fee, and withdrawals carry a network fee that depends on the coin and network. Your actual rate depends on your region and tier, so check it in your account before you trade.
Trading fees: maker vs. taker
A maker places an order that waits on the order book, such as a limit order below the current price. A taker fills an order immediately, such as a market order. Takers pay more. Using limit orders instead of market orders is the simplest way to pay less.
| Market (regular tier) | Maker | Taker |
|---|---|---|
| Spot | ~0.08% | ~0.10% |
| Perpetuals and futures | ~0.02% | ~0.05% |
Example
Buying $1,000 of BTC with a market order at a 0.10% taker fee costs about $1. With a limit order filled as a maker at 0.08%, it's about $0.80. On spot trades, OKX charges the fee in the asset you receive, so you get slightly less BTC rather than paying a separate charge.
How OKX fee tiers work
According to OKX, fee tiers are based on your 30-day trading volume and your daily asset balance. Tiers update daily, and you get the best tier you qualify for in each market. Most individual users stay on the regular tier, since VIP tiers start at high volumes.
To see your own rate: log in and open the fee or fee-tier page in your account settings, or look at the order panel before you confirm a trade.

How to keep OKX fees low
- Use limit orders instead of market orders.
- Pick a cheap network for withdrawals, but always one the receiving wallet supports.
