OKX Fees: Trading, Futures and Withdrawal Fees by Region

OKX fees start at 0.08 percent maker and 0.10 percent taker per spot trade and 0.02 percent maker and 0.05 percent taker on futures for a regular user, according to the OKX fee schedule on 7 November 2026. The same trading fees apply at OKX Europe once you have opened the derivatives account; regional platforms run their own schedule, for example 0.35 percent taker in the United States and 0.70 percent in Australia. For a spot purchase of 1,000 USDT at market price, that means 1 USDT in fees at the regular level.

OKX trading fees on spot: maker and taker fees by fee tier

Spot trading fees apply when you buy or sell crypto in the order book, for example BTC against USDT. OKX sorts every account into a fee tier by its total assets or its 30-day trading volume, and the higher of the two decides. A maker fee applies to a limit order that waits in the order book; a taker fee applies to an order that executes immediately against an existing order, such as a market order.

From VIP 6 the maker fee falls to zero, and from VIP 7 OKX pays a small rebate on maker orders, up to 0.005 percent at VIP 9. OKX Europe uses the same thresholds in euros. The fee schedule lists a few zero-fee trading pairs: on the global platform USDC/USDT and PYUSD/USDT trade at 0 percent for both maker and taker, in the EEA USDC/EUR and three pairs in Polish zloty. Zero-fee pairs don’t count toward your 30-day trading volume. A small group of special pairs follows its own schedule, starting at 0.10 percent maker and 0.15 percent taker. OKX sets the fee tier of a main account from the 30-day trading volume and the daily asset snapshot of the main account and all its sub-accounts, and the sub-accounts share that tier.

OKX takes the fee from the trade itself. According to its trading fee rules, a buy is charged in the crypto you receive and a sale in the proceeds: if you buy 1 BTC at market price as a regular user, you receive 0.999 BTC. OKB holdings don’t change the rate, and OKX charges no fee for opening or keeping an account. Your current VIP level and 30-day trading volume appear under Assets and “My trading fees” on the web, and OKX updates fee tiers once a day.

OKX margin trading fees

Margin trading on OKX uses the same maker and taker fees as regular spot trading, according to its trading fee rules. On top comes interest on the borrowed amount, which OKX Europe lists as the rollover rate on its fee page. Borrowed funds multiply gains and losses alike, so margin suits only traders who can carry a total loss of the stake.

OKX fees by region: why your country sets the rate

OKX runs regional platforms, and each one publishes its own fee schedule. The trading pair and the order type stay the same, but OKX fees vary depending on the country you are registered in, and so do the spot fees of a regular user.

OKX US: the US schedule covers spot trading and sets lower thresholds for a higher VIP tier. VIP 1 starts at 100,000 USD in assets or 100,000 USD in 30-day trading volume and costs 0.10 percent maker and 0.20 percent taker; VIP 2 from 250,000 USD volume costs 0.075 and 0.15 percent. An active US trader therefore reaches the lower rates far sooner than on the global platform.

OKX Australia: the Australian schedule lists spot trading at 0.70 percent for regular users and drops to 0.45 percent maker and 0.50 percent taker at VIP 1, from 150,000 AUD in assets or 200,000 AUD in 30-day volume. Card purchases in Australian dollars carry no card fee, see the card section below.

OKX Europe fees: spot-only account or derivatives account

In the European Economic Area, OKX operates through OKX Europe Limited, which holds a MiCA licence in Malta. Here the spot fee depends on one setting: whether you have opened the derivatives account that OKX calls X-Perps. OKX explains the two schedules in its spot fee comparison; the current rates come from the fee page.

A market purchase of 1,000 euros of Bitcoin therefore costs 2 euros on a spot-only account and 1 euro with the derivatives account. The derivatives account gives access to leveraged perpetual futures, which carry a high risk of loss; open it because you understand those products, not for the spot discount alone. What OKX Europe offers beyond fees is described in our OKX Europe guide.

OKX futures fees: maker and taker fees by fee tier

OKX futures fees are 0.02 percent maker and 0.05 percent taker at the regular level for perpetual and expiry futures, on the global platform and for X-Perps at OKX Europe alike. The taker rate is two and a half times the maker rate, so a limit order that waits in the order book clearly beats a market order that should execute immediately.

OKX charges the same rate to open and to close a position, always on the executed size. Its trading fee rules name three other costs on futures contracts: funding fees on perpetuals, a forced liquidation fee at the taker rate of your tier, and an expiry settlement fee of 0.01 percent on expiry futures. Adjusting leverage or adding margin costs nothing on its own.

How OKX calculates futures fees: contract size and face value

On USDT-margined futures contracts, OKX calculates the fee as fee rate × (number of contracts × contract multiplier × contract size × fill price). The face value, or contract size, is the amount of the underlying asset in one contract: 0.01 BTC on the BTC-USDT perpetual. Face value × number of contracts gives the position size.

OKX’s own example: 100 BTCUSDT contracts equal 1 BTC. At a BTC price of 20,000 USDT, a market order costs 0.05% × (100 × 1 × 0.01 × 20,000) = 10 USDT, a limit order 4 USDT. Opened with 10x leverage, the trader puts up only 2,000 USDT of margin, but the fee is still charged on the full fill value of 20,000 USDT.

OKX options fees and the exercise fee

For options trading, the options trading fee is 0.03 percent maker and taker at the regular level. An exercise fee applies only to options that are exercised, at most 0.02 percent of the underlying asset amount, and day options carry no exercise fee. Futures and options use leverage and can lose a stake within hours. For readers in Australia, the futures numbers on this page are information only; OKX’s Australian fee schedule centres on spot trading.

OKX funding fees on perpetual futures

Perpetual futures carry a funding fee on top of the trading fee. According to OKX’s funding fee mechanism, the fee is settled every eight hours at 00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC by default, and every one, two or four hours on some contracts. You only pay or receive it if you hold a position at the settlement time, and OKX may adjust the settlement times to market conditions.

• Formula: funding fee = position value × funding rate; on USDT-margined futures the position value is number of contracts × contract size × contract multiplier × mark price.
• Positive funding rate: long traders pay short traders. Negative funding rate: short traders pay long traders.
• Who receives it: the other side of the market. OKX settles the transfer between long and short traders and charges no service fee on it.
• Starting point: the interest component is 0.03 percent a day, or 0.01 percent per eight-hour settlement; the premium of the futures price over the index moves the rate up or down.

Example: a long position worth 10,000 USDT at a funding rate of 0.01 percent pays 1 USDT per settlement, or 3 USDT a day at three settlements. Close the position before the next settlement and no funding payment applies. In a heated market the rate can be many times higher, so check it on the contract page before you hold a position overnight.

What an OKX trade costs: worked examples

The tables use the regular level, the most common case for a new OKX account. The first rows assume one spot purchase of 1,000 a month.

The gap between the cheapest and the most expensive route is wide: a monthly saver who pays by card spends about 25 times as much in fees as one who sends euros by SEPA and buys with a limit order.

The fee is charged on the position size, not on your margin. Leverage doesn’t change the rate, but it makes the position and with it the fee larger than your own stake.

OKX fees compared with Bitget, Kraken and Coinbase

Among these four crypto exchanges, OKX charges the lowest maker fee on spot at the entry level, and its futures taker fee is 0.01 percentage points below Bitget’s. Bitget matches the OKX taker rate on spot once you pay its fees in BGB. Kraken and Coinbase price a standard purchase far higher.

For a 1,000 USDT market purchase that means 1 USDT on OKX and on Bitget, 0.80 USDT on Bitget with BGB, and 8 euros on 1,000 euros as a taker on Kraken Pro. How the exchanges compare beyond trading costs, from coins to security, is in our Bitget vs OKX, Kraken vs OKX and Binance vs OKX comparisons and in the crypto exchange comparison.

OKX withdrawal fees and deposit fees for crypto

Crypto deposits on OKX are free: according to OKX’s help page on deposit and withdrawal fees, the sender pays the network fee and you pay nothing to receive. Each withdrawal costs a network fee that depends on the coin and the network you choose. OKX adjusts it to network congestion, and the exact fee appears on the withdrawal page before you confirm.

The values come from the global crypto withdrawal fee list on 7 November 2026. The minimum USDT withdrawal is 2 USDT on most networks and 10 USDT on Tron; for Bitcoin it is 0.0001 BTC. OKX Europe lists USDC and EURC as its stablecoins: USDC costs 0.58 USDC on Ethereum, 0.25 on Solana and 0.005 on Arbitrum One, EURC 0.22 EURC on Ethereum, according to the OKX Europe withdrawal list.

Compared with Bitget, OKX is cheaper on Ethereum (0.4 against 2 USDT) and Solana (0.25 against 0.5 USDT), Bitget on Tron (1.5 against 2 USDT). For Tether (USDT), OKX charges the fee in USDT itself, so you need no TRX on Tron or SOL on Solana to pay it. Choose the network that the receiving wallet or exchange supports; a transfer on the wrong network can be lost. A regular user can withdraw crypto worth up to 10,000,000 USD in 24 hours, and the OKX withdrawal limit rises with the VIP tier up to 80,000,000 USD.

OKX fees for euro deposits and withdrawals by SEPA

OKX charges nothing for euro transfers by SEPA in either direction, according to its help pages on SEPA deposits and SEPA withdrawals. Your own bank may still charge for the transfer.

• SEPA Instant: euros arrive within seconds, around the clock, up to 100,000 euros per transfer.
• SEPA standard: one to two business days, during banking hours.
• Withdrawals: generally instant or within two business days. For the first withdrawal, OKX verifies the receiving account through a deposit from that same account.
• Who can use it: euro bank transfers are available to customers resident in the EEA, from an account in their own name.

OKX fees for buying with a card and for Convert

Buying crypto with a debit or credit card is the convenient route and the most expensive one. OKX lists the card fee by currency in its help article on buying with debit and credit cards:

In the US and Singapore, OKX accepts debit cards. If your bank treats a credit card payment as a cash advance, it may add its own fee on top.

Convert shows no separate fee line. According to OKX’s Convert explainer, you accept a quoted price that includes a spread, which depends on the size of the conversion, volatility and the available liquidity. The same applies to express Buy and Sell. Compare the amount in the preview with the spot price of the same asset; for larger amounts, a limit order in spot trading is usually the cheaper and more transparent route. P2P trades carry no trading fee and don’t count toward your trading volume.

How to reduce trading fees on OKX

Five levers lower OKX fees without any trading volume:

• Limit orders instead of taker orders: as a maker you pay 0.08 instead of 0.10 percent on spot and 0.02 instead of 0.05 percent on futures.
• Account type in the EEA: with the derivatives account, the spot taker fee falls from 0.20 to 0.10 percent.
• SEPA instead of a card: a 1,000 euro card purchase costs 19.90 euros in card fees, a SEPA deposit nothing.
• Cheap networks: USDT on Arbitrum One, TON or X Layer costs between a fraction of a cent and three cents, on Tron 2 USDT.
• Zero-fee pairs: switch between stablecoins on USDC/USDT, or USDC/EUR in the EEA, at 0 percent.

Beyond that, a higher VIP status follows from qualifying balances or 30-day trading volume. If you are new to OKX and live in the EEA, you can open an account through our OKX partner link and start with spot trading. Our OKX promo code page lists the code 45934865 and up to €400 in welcome rewards for new users in the EEA, as of 26 October 2026. We receive a commission if you open an account through this link.

Are OKX fees low? Our assessment

With 0.08 and 0.10 percent on spot and 0.02 and 0.05 percent on futures, OKX’s global rates sit at the low end of the comparison above: its maker fee undercuts Bitget’s standard rate, and only Bitget with BGB charges less as a taker. The lowest effective trading costs on OKX come from a SEPA deposit, a limit order and a withdrawal on a low-cost network. Your region and account type decide the rest: an EEA customer with the derivatives account pays the global rate, a US customer 0.35 percent taker, an Australian customer 0.70 percent. If you live in the EU, an exchange with a MiCA licence is the right choice; OKX Europe holds one, and further licensed options with their fees are in our comparison of regulated crypto exchanges.

Fees and VIP thresholds change with the fee schedule, so the tables here show the state of 7 November 2026; your own rate appears in your OKX account. Crypto prices can move sharply, and leveraged products can wipe out a stake within hours. This article is not investment advice.
