Bybit Fees Explained
Exchange fees compound. A few basis points per trade adds up to meaningful drag over a year of active trading. Here is the full picture of what Bybit charges in 2026 and how to actually lower your effective cost.

Spot fees
Retail tier: 0.10% maker and 0.10% taker. VIP tiers reduce both, with maker rebates available at higher levels.
Perpetual futures fees
Retail tier: 0.02% maker and 0.055% taker. The maker side is competitive with the tightest venues globally; the taker side is in line with industry norms.
Funding rates
Funding is paid periodically between longs and shorts to keep the perpetual price aligned with spot. It is not a fee to the exchange but it is a real cost of holding a position, and a signal of crowded directional positioning.
Deposit and withdrawal
Crypto deposits are free across all supported networks. Withdrawal fees vary by network and are generally aligned with prevailing on-chain fee conditions.
How to reduce your effective fees
Use limit orders to consistently capture the maker fee. Activate any available fee rebate vouchers from the welcome rewards program. Aggregate trading on one venue rather than splitting volume across many, VIP tier discounts compound only on a single account.
