Trading Fee Schedule

Capitalized terms not defined within this Trading Fee Schedule have the meaning set forth in the Polymarket US Rules. The following terms apply to all markets on the exchange. Maker Orders (passive liquidity) receive a rebate. Taker Orders incur fees. 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 30 basis points (0.30% or 0.0030 in decimal) on the Total Contract Premium. Maker rebates are calculated as 20 basis points (0.20% or 0.0020 in decimal) on the Total Contract Premium. All fees and rebates are rounded to the nearest $0.0010 (one-tenth of a cent). The minimum fee or rebate for any trade is $0.0010.

  • Taker Fee = Taker Fee Rate x Total Contract Premium (Number of Contracts Traded x Contract Price)
  • Taker Fee Rate = 0.30% = 0.0030 (decimal)
  • Maker Rebate = Maker Rebate Rate x Total Contract Premium (Number of Contracts Traded x Contract Price)
  • Maker Rebate Rate = 0.20% = 0.0020 (decimal)
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 0.0030 = $1.95
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 0.0030 = $0.0030 (30 basis points)
Example 3:
  • Trade: Sell 1 Contract at $0.01 per Contract
  • Total Contract Premium: 1 x $0.01 = $0.01
  • Taker Fee: Minimum Fee = $0.0010
Example 4 (Rounding):
  • Trade: Purchase 333 Contracts at $0.63 per Contract
  • Total Contract Premium: 333 x $0.63 = $209.79
  • Calculated Fee: $209.79 x 0.0030 = $0.62937
  • Taker Fee: $0.63 (rounded to nearest $0.0010)
