💸 Crypto Fee Calculator
Exchanges and networks charge a fee on almost every crypto transaction, usually as a percentage of the amount. This calculator instantly shows how much you pay in fees and what remains net of your trade amount, so you are never caught by surprise.
Formula
Fee = trade amount × (percentage ÷ 100) · Net = trade amount − fee
A simple percentage calculation: the fee percentage is converted to a decimal (divide by 100) and multiplied by your trade amount to find the fee amount. Subtract that from your original amount for the net figure. Note that some exchanges charge a lower percentage for "maker" orders (which add liquidity) than for "taker" orders (which execute immediately), so the exact percentage depends on the order type and platform.
Steps
- 1Enter the amount of your trade.
- 2Enter the fee percentage of your exchange or network (found on their fee schedule page).
- 3Read off the fee amount and the remaining net amount instantly.
Example: fee at 0.5% across different trade amounts
| Trade amount | Fee (0.5%) | Net received |
|---|---|---|
| € 100 | € 0.50 | € 99.50 |
| € 500 | € 2.50 | € 497.50 |
| € 1,000 | € 5 | € 995 |
| € 5,000 | € 25 | € 4,975 |
| € 10,000 | € 50 | € 9,950 |
For illustration based on an example rate of 0.5%; your exchange's actual rate may be higher or lower, so always use the calculator above with your own percentage.
