Fee Structure

Perpetual Options	0.03%	0%	50%

Fee Calculation

Fees are calculated based on the notional value of your trade, not the margin you put up. The notional value represents the total dollar amount of the underlying assets being traded.

Fee Example

If you open a $25,000 ETH perpetual position with $2,500 in margin (10x leverage), fees are charged on the full $25,000 notional value, not your $2,500 margin.

Taker Rebate

Starting July 16, 2025, Paradex will offer taker rebates of up to 1 bp based on a user’s market share.

How It Works

Rebate Range: 0.1 bp to 1 bp
Calculation Period: Rolling 14-day trailing period
Payment: Automatic deposit every two weeks
Eligibility: Based on your overall market share during the measurement period

Market Share = (User Taker Volume + User Maker Volume) / Paradex 1-sided Volume
