Fees & Operating Hours
Trading Fee Schedule
Capitalized terms not defined within this Trading Fee Schedule have the meaning set forth in the Polymarket US Rules.
Trading Fees
The following terms apply to all markets on the exchange. Trading fees are charged based on aggressive Orders that are immediately matched (Taker Orders) against resting Orders on the orderbook. Taker fees are calculated as follows:
Taker Fee Rate: 1 basis point (0.01%) on the Total Contract Premium
Formula:
- Taker Fee = Total Contract Premium x Taker Fee Rate
- Where: Total Contract Premium = Number of Contracts Traded x Contract price
Examples:
Example 1:
- Trade: Purchase 1,000 Contracts at $0.65 per Contract
- Total Contract Premium: 1,000 x $0.65 = $650.00
- Taker Fee: $650.00 x 0.0001 = $0.065 (rounded to $0.0650)
Example 2:
- Trade: Purchase 100 Contracts at $0.01 per Contract
- Total Contract Premium: 100 x $0.01 = $1.00
- Taker Fee: $1.00 x 0.0001 = $0.0001 (1 basis point)
Example 3:
- Trade: Sell 1 Contract at $0.01 per Contract
- Total Contract Premium: 1 x $0.01 = $0.01
- Taker Fee: Minimum Fee = $0.0001
All fees are rounded to the nearest basis point (0.01%). The minimum fee for any trade is 1 basis point ($0.0001).
