For the calculation methods of the trading fee, please refer to the [Funding Rate and Funding Fee](https://www.gate.io/help/futures/futures_logic/27569/%E8%B5%84%E9%87%91%E8%B4%B9%E7%8E%87%E5%92%8C%E8%B5%84%E9%87%91%E8%B4%B9%E7%94%A8%E8%AE%A1%E7%AE%97%E8%AF%B4%E6%98%8E "Funding Rate and Funding Fee").

On Gate.io, the futures trading fee will occur when a position is opened, closed, or deleveraged. There's no charge of any fee if the order is pending or canceled.

The trading fee is settled from the position margin. The trading fee is calculated based on the position value and has nothing to do with leverage.

## Maker and Taker are subject to different fee rates when trading perpetual futures on Gate.io

### Maker
Please refer to the table of tiered fee rates for the maker's fee rate.

If the order placed by the maker is not filled immediately, it will go on the book list, serving to increase the depth of the market. Gate.io points cannot be used to pay the maker's fee.

### Taker

Please refer to the table of tiered fee rates for the taker's fee rate.

Takers will immediately buy or sell to fill the pending orders at the market. As a result, the number of pending orders will be reduced, and so will the depth of the market. If the taker chooses to pay the trading fee with Gate.io Points, the 0.075% fee rate will apply. Actually, the taker's fee rate would be further reduced to as low as 0.0225% to 0.06%, depending upon the maker’s fee rate and the cost of Gate.io Point.

## What are Maker and Taker?

### Maker

When you place an order that goes on the order book partially or fully, such as a limit order, any subsequent trades coming from that order will be maker trades.

These orders add volume to the order book, help to make the market, and are therefore termed makers for any subsequent trades.

### Taker

When you place an order that is filled immediately before going on the order book, you are a taker. This is regardless of whether you partially or fully fulfill the order.

Trades from market orders are always takers, as market orders never go on the order book. These trades are "taking" volume off the order book, and therefore are taker trades.

## The futures trading fee is calculated as follows

> Trading Fee = Position Value x (Maker’s/ Taker's Rate)

When the trading fee is deduced with the points: 1 POINT = 1 USD, the price of USD is calculated based upon the real-time index price of the BTC-USD Futures.

## A laddered fee rate applies in futures trading

1. In futures trading, there are a tiered fee rate and a point deduction discounted rate. For the maker's order, the fee will be charged according to the tiered fee rate, while takers can choose which fee method to be applied according to their preference. 
2. If there are points remaining in the account, the taker's futures order will be subject to a fee rate of 0.075%. (When the points are deducted, the final fee rate can be further reduced to around 0.0225%~0.06% depending upon other conditions.) 
3. If there is no Gate.io point in the account, the taker's futures orders will be subject to the tiered rate according to their VIP level. Futures orders and spot orders are subject to the same VIP tiered rate system.
4. You can check your VIP level and fee discount plans on the [Trading Fees](https://www.gate.io/fee "Trading Fees") page.

## For Example

User A has traded 100 USDT with BTC_USDT contracts at the market price, and the VIP level of the user is VIP10.

User B has placed a maker's order to trade 100 USDT with BTC_USDT contracts, and the VIP level of the user is VIP10.

As user A’s order has reduced the depth of the market, the trading fee is 0.03% at VIP10, so the trading fee is 100 x 0.03% = 0.03 USDT.

As User B’s order has increased the depth of the market,  the Maker's fee rate is 0% at VIP10, so the final fee is 100 x 0% = 0 USDT
