BitMEX Fees Explained
BitMEX fees are slightly more complex than other exchanges as they are calculated using the notional value of the trade, not the actual cost.
BitMEX fees for the XBT & ETH perpetual contracts are 0.025% for maker orders (providing liquidity) and 0.075% for taker orders (taking liquidity)
For example; say you open a (taker) trade which costs 0.1 XBT on the XBT perpetual contract with 100x leverage, you are paying fees on the total notional value of that trade which would be 10 XBT, that means that per trade, you will be paying 0.0075 XBT
((0.1 XBT x 100) x 0.075) /100 = 0.0075 XBTHow does the BitMEX Calculator work?
The BitMEX Calculator uses a series of complex equations using trade cost, leverage and the order type.
