Real Futures Cost
Beyond Just Fees
Trading fees are only part of the story. Funding rate, holding duration and trading frequency reshape the true cost of perpetual contracts.
▮ This is an Educational Estimator
Numbers are illustrative: Taker fees are a hand-compiled snapshot of each exchange's published Tier-0 rate, and the funding rates are example parameters for demonstration, not measured 90-day medians. The calculation is: total cost (USDT) = position × Taker fee × 2 (open + close) × number of trades ± position × funding rate × settlements per day (3, one every 8 hours) × holding days; a positive rate means longs pay and shorts receive, a negative rate the reverse. Real funding rates fluctuate by token, market and time; check the exchange's own page or Coinglass for actual values. Treat the result as a baseline, not a guarantee.

▮ Why BitMart is no longer in this table
BitMart used to sit in the row list here; it has now been taken out because the venue is winding down. New sign-ups, deposits and new position opening stopped at 01:30 UTC on 2026-07-26 (perpetuals went reduce-only), all trading services were switched off at 01:00 UTC on 2026-08-26, and the platform is due to close permanently on 2027-01-31. A fee row nobody can act on is worse than no row, so we removed it rather than freeze it. Anyone still holding balances there should follow BitMart's own withdrawal notices.

The funding rates in the table are only examples, and even real historical funding does not predict future values — it can shift quickly under extreme market conditions.
