Trading fee and rebate calculator
Most users do not know their fees. This version estimates futures or spot fees from notional trading volume first, then shows how much rebate could come back.
Quick examples

Order style
Taker
Formula: fees = trading volume × fee rate. For futures, leverage increases position value, and position value is what fees are charged on.
Default estimate uses public base retail fee schedules. Futures are especially expensive when you open and close with taker orders.
