Bybit Fees Explained 2026: Spot, Perpetual, Funding, Liquidation and Withdrawal Fees
At VIP 0 Bybit charges 0.10% maker and taker on crypto spot pairs and 0.020% maker / 0.055% taker on perpetuals, per its fee schedule updated 2 September 2026. Paying fees in MNT takes 25% off spot and 10% off futures. Perpetual liquidations carry no fee, on-chain deposits are free and withdrawals cost a fixed fee per coin and network. PCNVIP changes none of these rates.
Bybit: EEA residents (except Malta) are directed to Bybit EU, where PCNVIP does not apply; the UK service (since December 2025) offers spot and P2P only and no referral rewards; not available in the US.
Affiliate link: Bybit pays us a commission if you register through it. It costs you nothing and does not change your fees.

Bybit trading fees at VIP 0: spot and perpetuals
A taker order fills at once against the order book; a maker order rests on it until someone else fills it. On crypto spot pairs both pay 0.10% at VIP 0. On perpetual and expiry futures the maker pays 0.020% and the taker 0.055% of the full position value, not of the margin. The maker rate is a fee, not a rebate.
| 10,000 USD position, VIP 0 | Maker | Taker |
|---|---|---|
| Perpetual, one fill | 2.00 USD | 5.50 USD |
| Perpetual, open and close | 4.00 USD | 11.00 USD |
A 1,000 USD margin at leverage 10 is a 10,000 USD position and pays these fees. Perpetual futures are leveraged: a small price move against you can liquidate the position and lose the entire margin.
Other products have their own VIP 0 rates: fiat pairs 0.15% maker / 0.20% taker below 100,000 USD of 30-day volume; Adventure Zone and xStocks 0.20% / 0.20%; pre-market perpetuals 0.04% / 0.10%; Innovation Zone 0.04% / 0.11%; options 0.020% / 0.030%.
Bybit VIP tiers: fee rates and thresholds
The VIP level follows asset balance or 30-day volume, whichever gives the higher tier. Levels refresh daily at 07:00 UTC; sub-accounts use the main account’s level.
| Level | Spot maker / taker | Perpetuals maker / taker | Assets (USD) | 30-day spot volume | 30-day derivatives volume |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VIP 0 | 0.1000% / 0.1000% | 0.0200% / 0.0550% | any | under 1 M | under 10 M |
| VIP 1 | 0.0675% / 0.0800% | 0.0180% / 0.0400% | 100,000 | 1 M | 10 M |
| VIP 2 | 0.0650% / 0.0775% | 0.0160% / 0.0375% | 250,000 | 5 M | 25 M |
| VIP 3 | 0.0625% / 0.0750% | 0.0140% / 0.0350% | 500,000 | 10 M | 50 M |
| VIP 4 | 0.0500% / 0.0600% | 0.0120% / 0.0320% | 1 M | 25 M | 100 M |

| Supreme VIP | 0.0300% / 0.0450% | 0.0000% / 0.0300% | n/a | 100 M | 500 M |
Bybit Trading Fee Structure, updated 2 September 2026. From VIP 4, at most 20% of qualifying volume may come from API trading. Rates can vary by region; My Fee Rate shows yours after identity verification. Perpetual futures are leveraged: a small price move against you can liquidate the position and lose the entire margin.
The Bybit MNT discount: 25% off spot, 10% off futures
Bybit’s counterpart to Binance’s BNB discount applies on top of the VIP rate. Switch on “Using MNT for fee discount” on the trading page, separately for Spot and Futures and for each sub-account; the MNT must sit in the Unified Trading Account. It covers opening and closing fees on spot, spot margin, USDT and USDC perpetuals and USDT expiry contracts, not inverse contracts.
| Level, paid in MNT | Spot maker / taker | Futures maker / taker |
|---|---|---|
| VIP 0 | 0.0750% / 0.0750% | 0.0180% / 0.0495% |
| VIP 1 | 0.0507% / 0.0600% | 0.0162% / 0.0360% |
| VIP 3 | 0.0469% / 0.0563% | 0.0126% / 0.0315% |
| VIP 5 | 0.0300% / 0.0375% | 0.0090% / 0.0288% |
Bybit MNT FAQ, updated 30 March 2026. Not for market makers, institutional, Pro or API users, trading bots, copy-trading followers, RFQ or liquidation orders. Perpetual futures are leveraged: a small price move against you can liquidate the position and lose the entire margin.
Bybit fee stacking: how maker orders, VIP tiers, MNT and the referral code combine
Bybit fees stack in three layers on top of the base schedule: the order type (maker or taker), the VIP tier (asset balance or 30-day volume) and, optionally, paying fees in MNT (25% off spot, 10% off futures). The referral code PCNVIP is not a fourth layer. On spot the maker and taker rates are identical at VIP 0, so the order type changes nothing there. On perpetuals it changes most of what you pay: the base taker rate is 0.055%, the base maker rate 0.020%, about 64% less per trade. The order type picks the column, the VIP level picks the row.
| 10,000 USD traded | Maker fee | Taker fee | Round trip (open + close) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spot, VIP 0 | 10.00 USD | 10.00 USD | 20.00 USD either way |
| Perpetuals, VIP 0 | 2.00 USD | 5.50 USD | 4.00 USD maker vs 11.00 USD taker |
| Perpetuals, VIP 1 | 1.80 USD | 4.00 USD | 3.60 USD maker vs 8.00 USD taker |
| Perpetuals, VIP 3 | 1.40 USD | 3.50 USD | 2.80 USD maker vs 7.00 USD taker |
| Perpetuals, VIP 5 | 1.00 USD | 3.20 USD | 2.00 USD maker vs 6.40 USD taker |
Calculated from Bybit’s published rates for crypto-crypto spot pairs and USDT perpetuals (fee schedule updated 2 September 2026, checked 22 September 2026). A 1,000 USD margin position at 10x leverage is a 10,000 USD notional position and pays the fees in this table. Perpetual futures are leveraged: a small price move against you can liquidate the position and lose the entire margin. Fees matter less than position size.
For a retail trader at VIP 0, switching perpetual entries and exits from market orders to resting limit orders saves 7.00 USD per 10,000 USD round trip. No VIP tier, not even Supreme VIP, saves that much on the taker side. The tiers are built for large accounts: VIP 1 takes 100,000 USD in assets or roughly 33,000 USD of spot volume every day for a month, and spot trades executed at zero fees do not count toward volume. Below that, the stacking a retail trader controls is the order type and the MNT option. The special zones also move with volume: on fiat pairs the maker rate drops to 0.10% from 100,000 USD of 30-day spot volume, the taker rate to 0.15% from 275,000 USD and 0.12% from 550,000 USD; Adventure Zone and xStocks pairs cost 0.10% / 0.15% at VIP 1.
The MNT layer has the same catch as Binance’s BNB discount, which people searching for “Bybit fee stacking BNB” usually mean: you have to hold the token, and its price moves. A 25% saving on a 0.10% spot fee is 2.50 USD per 10,000 USD traded, which a small fall in the MNT you hold can cancel. For the Binance version, see Binance fee discount stacking, where the BNB discount and the PRM26 referral rebate combine to 0.06% on spot.
How to actually lower your Bybit fees. Enter and exit perpetuals with resting limit orders, using the post-only option so the order is rejected rather than filled as a taker. Keep assets and volume in one account: sub-account balances and volume count toward the main account’s tier, and Bybit takes whichever criterion, assets or volume, gives the higher level. Read “My Fee Rate” after identity verification, the number that applies to you. And book rewards as bonuses, not as a lower rate: a fee saver offsets fees until it is used up, while the rate itself does not change, with or without PCNVIP.
| Item | With PCNVIP |
|---|---|
| Fee rate, VIP level, MNT discount | Unchanged |
| What it does | Registers the account under our affiliate account; Bybit pays us a commission |
| Welcome reward | Bybit’s own new-user reward (20 USD on the invite page on 21 September 2026; Bybit changes the amount); PCNVIP adds none. Paid as a fee saver, it offsets fees until used up; the rate stays the same |
| Deposit tasks | New-user vouchers from 10 USDT (100 USD deposit) up to 30,000 USDT (250,000 USD plus 150 million USDT of volume); not a code benefit, and a trading bonus is traded at your normal rate |
| When it works | At registration, or within 14 days of it if the main account has no affiliate or referral code yet (Account Info, “Join an Affiliate’s Community”); it cannot be changed once added |
Invite page and Rewards Hub tested 21 September 2026; Bybit Learn: Welcome Gift Rewards (14 January 2026) and Bybit Rewards Hub (28 April 2026) name no code condition; late addition per Bybit’s help article updated 5 June 2026, which says Bybit may refuse it for regulatory reasons. Bonuses are trading bonuses or vouchers: the bonus itself cannot be withdrawn, profits made with it can, and each voucher has conditions and an expiry.

On or about 21 February 2025 Bybit was hacked; the FBI attributed the theft of about 1.5 billion USD in virtual assets to North Korea (FBI announcement I-022625-PSA, 26 February 2025). Cryptocurrency trading carries substantial risk; this page is information, not financial advice.
Bybit funding and liquidation fees
Funding passes between traders holding perpetual positions: when the rate is positive, longs pay shorts; when negative, shorts pay longs. The amount is position value times the rate at each funding timestamp. The interval is set per contract and shown on its trading page; Bybit’s help centre uses an 8-hour example and switches a contract to hourly settlement when its rate hits the cap. The rate is updated every minute, so none is quoted here.
Liquidation. Bybit “does not charge a liquidation fee for Perpetual and Futures Trading”. A liquidation fee applies in Spot Margin Trading and Crypto Loan (2%, paid into the margin insurance pool) and in Options (0.2%).
Bybit deposit and withdrawal fees
On-chain crypto deposits and internal transfers between Bybit accounts are free; the wallet you send from may charge its own fee. Withdrawals cost a fixed fee per coin and chain, the same for any amount, shown in the withdrawal window and on Bybit’s Crypto Deposit/Withdrawal Status page. Buy Crypto orders through third-party providers and fiat transfers carry fees by currency and method, shown before you confirm. P2P trades carry no Bybit fee. Borrowing accrues hourly interest.
Bybit EU fees for EEA residents
Bybit is restricting its global platform for EEA residents in phases (notice of 29 June 2026); affected users keep access to their assets. EEA residents (except Malta) are directed to Bybit EU GmbH in Austria, authorised under MiCA, whose fee pages cover spot and spot margin only.
| Bybit EU, crypto spot pairs | Until 5 October 2026, maker / taker | From 5 October 2026, single rate |
|---|---|---|
| VIP 0, under 100,000 EUR 30-day volume | 0.10% / 0.25% | 0.25% |
| VIP 1 (100,000 EUR assets or 1 million EUR volume) | 0.0675% / 0.10% | 0.12% |
Bybit EU fee structure, updated 4 August 2026; the VIP 0 taker rate falls in steps to 0.15% from 500,000 EUR. Deposits are free, withdrawals cost a fixed fee per coin and chain, Spot Margin liquidations 2% (fee overview, 25 May 2026). PCNVIP does not apply on Bybit EU; symptoms and the move are on Bybit not working in the EU.
