Bybit futures fee table (VIP 0 to Supreme VIP)

These are the base rates from Bybit's official Trading Fee Structure page, last updated on 2 September 2026 and re-read on 14 October 2026. Bybit notes that the rate you actually get can vary by region, so the My Fee Rates page inside your account, visible after identity verification, is the final word.

Three details from the same page matter more than the table suggests. First, VIP status is decided by whichever criterion puts you higher: asset balance or 30-day volume in spot, derivatives, options or structured products. Second, levels are refreshed once a day at 07:00 UTC, and the rate on an order is the one that applied when you placed it. Third, funding fees you pay or receive do not count toward trading volume, so holding a big position for weeks does nothing for your VIP level.

Most retail traders will sit at VIP 0 for good: $10 million of derivatives volume in 30 days is a lot, even with leverage. If you want to see how these rates compare with the venues we track, the Bybit exchange profile lists spot and futures fees side by side with sign-up details.

How Bybit calculates the trading fee

Bybit's "Futures Contracts: Fees Explained" article (updated 5 August 2026) gives one formula for linear contracts: trading fee = order value × fee rate, where order value = quantity × executed price. Its own worked example uses 10 BTC at 8,000 USDT: the taker pays 44 USDT, the maker pays 16 USDT.

The point people miss is that leverage does not shrink the fee. With $1,000 of margin at 10x you control a $10,000 position, and the fee is charged on $10,000. A market order to open and another to close costs 2 × $10,000 × 0.055% = $11, which is 1.1% of your margin before the price moves at all. Doing both legs as limit (maker) orders brings that down to 2 × $10,000 × 0.02% = $4.

The fee is taken from your account balance and, according to Bybit, does not reduce the initial margin of the order. For inverse contracts the maths is the same idea in coin terms: order value = quantity ÷ price, so the fee is paid in BTC rather than USDT.

Funding: the fee that keeps running

Perpetual contracts never expire, so exchanges use funding to keep their price close to spot. Bybit's "Funding Fee Calculation" page (updated 12 May 2026) puts it simply: funding fee = position value × funding rate, and position value = quantity × mark price. When the rate is positive, longs pay shorts; when it is negative, shorts pay longs. Bybit itself does not collect funding; it passes between traders.

On an 8-hour contract, settlements happen at 00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC. You only pay or receive if you hold the position at that moment, so a trade opened at 01:00 and closed at 07:00 never touches funding. Bybit adds one warning: opening or closing within about 5 seconds of the funding time does not guarantee whether you are included, and it does not reimburse either way.

The rate itself is rebuilt every minute from two parts, according to Bybit's "Introduction to Funding Rate" page (updated 22 May 2026): an interest rate component fixed at 0.03% per day (0.01% per 8-hour interval) and a time-weighted premium index that measures how far the perpetual trades above or below the index. The result is clamped between an upper and a lower limit. For BTCUSDT, Bybit's public instrument data showed that limit at ±0.333% per settlement on 13 October 2026, and when a contract settles at its limit Bybit switches it to hourly funding until things calm down.

Here is what that looked like in real numbers. Bybit's public funding history for BTCUSDT shows nine settlements between 11 October 00:00 UTC and 13 October 16:00 UTC, ranging from −0.0009% to +0.0057% each. Added together they come to about +0.0222%, so a $10,000 long held through all nine paid roughly $2.22 in funding, and a short of the same size received the same amount (our arithmetic from Bybit's published rates).

That is a quiet market. In a squeeze the same position could pay the capped 0.333% three times a day, which is $33.30 per settlement on $10,000. Funding is charged to your available balance first; if that runs out, Bybit takes it from the position's initial margin, and in isolated mode that moves your liquidation price closer to the mark price. The funding-rate board shows the live rate on Binance and OKX next to each other, which is the quickest way to see whether a crowded side is about to get expensive.

Fees that only some contracts charge

• Inverse expiry contracts: a fixed 0.05% settlement fee if you hold to expiry instead of closing yourself. It ignores VIP level and discounts.
• USDT expiry contracts: no settlement fee at expiry.
• Delisting: if Bybit delists a contract, open positions are closed with a fixed 0.05% settlement fee instead of your normal rate.
• Innovation Zone and pre-market perpetuals: these newer listings cost more. At VIP 0 the Innovation Zone is 0.04% maker / 0.11% taker and pre-market perpetuals are 0.04% maker / 0.10% taker, roughly double the standard taker rate. Pre-market perpetuals also run their own funding: zero during the call auction, then a fixed 0.005% every 4 hours once continuous trading starts.

A full example: one leveraged BTC trade, three days

Fee totals are our arithmetic from Bybit's VIP 0 rates and published BTCUSDT funding history. Two things stand out. Order type matters more than any VIP tier a small trader can reach: switching from market to limit orders saves $7 here, while reaching VIP 1 would save $3. And funding is small in calm weeks but is the one cost that keeps growing the longer you hold.

How Bybit compares with other large venues

At VIP 0, Binance and OKX both charge 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker on perpetuals, Bitget charges 0.02% and 0.06%, and Bybit sits at 0.02% and 0.055%, according to our partner fee feed and the official pages it cites. On a $10,000 taker round trip that is $10 on Binance or OKX, $11 on Bybit and $12 on Bitget. Funding rates differ from venue to venue at the same moment, so a trader who holds positions for days should compare funding as well as the posted fee. Our Binance vs Bybit comparison and OKX vs Bybit comparison set the products and fees out side by side.

How to act on this

If Bybit is where you trade perps, the cheapest habits are simple: post limit orders where you can, keep enough free balance so funding never eats into margin, and check the funding board before you hold a crowded trade through 00:00, 08:00 or 16:00 UTC. If you are opening an account, you can sign up with Bybit code 48553; the Bybit exchange profile walks through registration and verification, and current exchange offers are listed on our activities page.

Quick answers

What is Bybit's futures trading fee? 0.055% taker and 0.02% maker for a non-VIP account on USDT perpetuals, USDC perpetuals and inverse contracts, per Bybit's fee page updated 2 September 2026.

Is the fee charged on my margin or my position? On the position (order value). At 10x leverage, the fee is ten times what it would be on your margin alone.

How often does Bybit charge funding? Every 8 hours on most contracts, at 00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC; some contracts use other intervals, and a contract that hits its funding limit switches to hourly.

Do funding fees count toward VIP volume? No. Bybit says funding paid or received is excluded from trading volume.

How do I see my own rate? Open My Fee Rates in your Bybit account after identity verification; Bybit says regional rates can differ from the base table.

What we could not verify

Bybit does not publish which regions get different futures rates, so we cannot say whether your country pays the base table. Funding figures above describe 11–13 October 2026 only and will differ for other dates and contracts.
