Bitget fees calculator: a $10,000 futures round trip costs $12, or $4.80 after 60% back

The formula

Bitget's Trading Fees FAQ, dated August 20, gives base rates of 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker on futures, and 0.1% for both sides on spot. Its public contract data returned the same 0.0002 and 0.0006 for BTCUSDT when we read it this morning. Our partner registry, read this run, lists a 0.6 share for Bitget, settled automatically each day.

Write the sum in this order:

Fees are charged on the position value, so the margin you post does not set the cost. A trader who thinks of this as "a $1,000 trade" will underestimate the bill by ten times at 10x.

The same margin at different leverage

Keep the margin at $1,000 and change only the leverage. These are round trips with taker fills at both ends:

Moving from 5x to 50x multiplies the fee by ten on the same $1,000. Without the rebate, a single round trip at 50x takes 6% of the margin. Five of those in a day would use up 30% of it in fees alone, even if every trade closed flat.

How far the price must move to cover the fee

Leverage changes the share of your margin that goes to fees, but the price move needed to cover them stays the same. Divide the round-trip fee by the position value. We used Bitget's BTCUSDT mark price of $75,705 for the dollar column.

A scalper aiming for $100 on BTC keeps very little after a $90.85 fee hurdle on standard rates. With the 60% back the hurdle falls to $36.34. Placing a resting limit order on the way in saves another $12.11 of required move on top of that, if the order fills.

Add funding if you hold through a timestamp

Funding is the line most calculators leave out. Bitget's FAQ describes it as a payment between longs and shorts every eight hours: position value × funding rate. Longs pay shorts when the rate is positive, and the direction reverses when it is negative. Because the money passes between traders, we keep it outside the rebate line.

Bitget's contract data shows the eight-hour settlements for these pairs at 00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 SGT. Current rates and the last 90 payments, from 08:00 SGT on October 9 to 00:00 SGT on November 8, looked like this on a $10,000 long:

Over those 30 days, the BTC long paid about 11 times the $4.80 net fee of a single round trip. That gap decides whether a position trader should care more about fees or funding. A one-day hold at the current BTC rate adds three payments, or $2.10, for a total of $6.90 after the rebate. Compare live rates across venues on our funding rates page.

Add the order book if your size is large

A market order also pays the distance between the mid price and the prices it fills at. We walked Bitget's visible futures asks, 100 levels per pair, for a market buy at each size. This is one snapshot from late Saturday UTC, and it shows only the buy side.

On BTC and ETH, the book barely registers up to $100,000 in this snapshot, so the fee is nearly the whole cost. SOL is different. A $100,000 buy cost more than half of the $60 fee again, and a $1 million buy cost more than the fee itself. The visible book held about $8.64 million on the BTC ask side, $16.5 million on ETH and $1.52 million on SOL. The rebate covers none of this order-book cost, because it applies only to fees.

The full bill for one BTC trade

Here is every line together, for a $1,000 margin at 10x on BTCUSDT: a market buy, a one-day hold through three funding payments at the current rate, then a market sell. Without the rebate the bill is $14.11 and with it $6.91, using the buy-side book cost as a stand-in for both ends.

That total is 1.41% of the margin at standard rates and 0.69% after the rebate. Change the pair to SOLUSDT and the book line rises to about $4.71, using the $2.36 reading for each fill, while funding falls to $0.84 at SOL's current 0.0028%. A short pays or receives the same funding amount in the opposite direction, so a short at these positive rates would receive the $2.10.

The table shows which line to work on. On BTC the fee is the biggest item, so the rebate does the most. On SOL the book cost comes close to the net fee, so a resting limit order may save more than changing venue, if the order fills.

What the rebate adds up to in a month

Volume here means the value of every fill, so one $10,000 round trip counts as $20,000.

Bitget's FAQ says VIP tiers reduce fees as qualifying volume, assets or BGB holdings rise, and tells readers to check the live Fee Schedule. It does not print those tier rates in the article we read, so the larger rows above assume the base rate. If your account has a lower VIP rate, replace the 0.06% and run the same sum.

Spot trades

The spot sum is simpler because there is no leverage or funding. A $1,000 market buy at the FAQ's 0.1% costs $1.00, with $0.60 back and $0.40 net. Buying and later selling costs $2.00, with $1.20 back and $0.80 net.

One check is worth doing. The public spot symbol data for BTCUSDT showed 0.002 in its maker and taker fields when we read it, which would be 0.2% and not the FAQ's 0.1%. We looked at this gap in our Bitget spot fees article. Read the fee on your own order confirmation after a small trade, then use that figure in the calculator.

BGB offers a separate spot discount. The FAQ says that switching on "Use BGB to offset fees" discounts the spot fee and takes it from your BGB balance. The article sends readers to the live schedule for the current percentage.

The same sum for OKX

A lower fee rate does not always mean a lower final cost. Our registry lists OKX futures at 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker, with a 0.2 share settled hourly. Here is one $10,000 taker round trip at the two base rates in that registry:

OKX starts cheaper and finishes $3.20 higher on this one trade. A trader already on a lower OKX VIP tier would need to run the sum with that rate. Our OKX fees page holds that venue's sign-up route.

How to get the 60% rate

Open the account through our Bitget fees and sign-up page, which carries the invite code nexu888, then trade as normal. The registry lists settlement as automatic and daily. To test the numbers on your own account, make one small futures trade, note the fee on the fill, and check the amount returned at the next daily settlement against fee × 60%.

Readers who want the rate background first can start with our earlier breakdown of Bitget USDT-M futures fees. This page adds the funding and order-book lines that article left out.

What we could not confirm

• Bitget's current VIP tier rates and BGB discount percentage. The live Fee Schedule did not form part of the FAQ text we read.
• Whether every fee type counts as eligible for the 60% share, and how the share behaves at a VIP rate.
• Whether an account already open before using the route can receive the share. Our registry does not say.
• Sell-side order-book cost, and depth at busier hours. We measured only one set of asks.

Quick answers

How do I calculate Bitget futures fees?

Multiply position value by the fee rate, then do it again for the close. A $10,000 position with taker fills at 0.06% costs $6.00 to open and $6.00 to close. With 60% back, the net is $4.80.

Does leverage change my Bitget fee?

It does when your margin stays the same, because leverage raises the position value that the fee is charged on. A $1,000 margin at 20x pays fees on $20,000, or $24.00 for a taker round trip.

Is funding included in the 60% back?

We treat it as separate. Bitget's FAQ describes funding as a payment between long and short holders, and our registry describes the share as a share of trading fees. A positive 0.0070% rate on $10,000 costs a long $0.70 per payment.

What is the cheapest way to trade Bitget futures?

Limit orders that rest on the book pay the 0.02% maker rate. Maker fills at both ends cost $4.00 on $10,000, or $1.60 after 60% back, though a resting order may never fill.
