Bitget Trading Fees FAQ

[Estimated reading time: 3 minutes]

This article provides an overview of Bitget’s trading fees, including spot and futures fees, maker and taker rates, withdrawal fees, VIP and BGB discounts, and funding fees.

 

1. What are Bitget's trading fees for spot and futures?

Bitget charges a standard spot trading fee of 0.1% for both makers and takers, and a standard futures trading fee of 0.02% for makers and 0.06% for takers. These are base rates before any VIP tier or BGB discount is applied. Actual fees may be lower depending on your VIP level, BGB holdings, and active promotions — always confirm current rates on the live Fee Schedule page before trading.

 

2. What is the maker and taker fee on Bitget?

A maker is a trader whose order adds liquidity to the order book (e.g., a limit order that isn't filled immediately), while a taker removes liquidity by filling an existing order instantly. On Bitget, the standard futures maker fee is 0.02% and the taker fee is 0.06%; for spot trading, maker and taker fees are both 0.1% at the standard tier.

 

3. How much does Bitget charge for withdrawals?

Bitget does not charge deposit fees for crypto — only the underlying blockchain network fee applies, which goes to miners/validators, not to Bitget. Withdrawal fees vary by cryptocurrency and network (e.g., TRC20 vs ERC20 for USDT) and fluctuate with network congestion. The exact fee for your selected coin and network is always shown on the withdrawal confirmation page before you finalize the transaction.

 

4. Are there hidden fees on Bitget?

No. Bitget states that all fees are transparently listed on its official Fee Center/Fee Schedule page, covering trading, deposit, withdrawal, and other platform-related costs. There are no maintenance or custody fees for holding crypto on the platform.

 

5. Does Bitget offer fee discounts for VIP users or BGB holders?

Yes. Bitget offers two separate discount mechanisms: (1) a tiered VIP program where fees decrease as your qualifying trading volume, account assets, or BGB holdings increase, and (2) a BGB fee-payment discount, where enabling "Use BGB to offset fees" reduces your spot trading fee. Both can apply at the same time.

 

6. Does holding BGB reduce trading fees on Bitget?

Yes, for spot trading. If you hold BGB in your account and switch on "Use BGB to offset fees" in your Dashboard, your spot trading fee is automatically discounted and deducted from your BGB balance. If your BGB balance is insufficient to cover the fee, the fee reverts to being charged through the original payment method.

 

7. How does BGB give fee discounts on Bitget?

BGB reduces your spot trading fee by acting as the currency the fee is deducted in — once enabled, Bitget calculates your standard spot fee and automatically debits the equivalent value from your BGB balance at a discounted rate rather than charging the fee via your traded asset. For the current discount percentage, always check the live Fee Schedule, since promotional rates can change.

 

8. How does Bitget calculate funding rates?

Funding fees apply only to perpetual futures contracts and are exchanged every 8 hours between long and short position holders. The formula is: Funding fee = Position value × Funding rate. When the funding rate is positive, long position holders pay short position holders; when negative, the payment direction reverses. Real-time funding rates for each contract are published on Bitget's funding rate page.
