Rubin Fee Schedule
Rubin charges maker/taker trading fees that fall as your trailing 30-day volume grows, with maker rebates at the higher tiers. Fees are the same across all 900+ perpetual and spot markets. Below is the current fee schedule and the equity tiers that cap how many long-term or conditional orders you can keep open based on your net collateral.
Fee tiers (maker & taker)
Your fee tier is set by your combined maker + taker volume over the trailing 30 days. A negative maker fee is a rebate paid to you.
| Tier | 30-day volume | Maker | Taker |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ≥ $0 | 0.005% | 0.055% |
| 2 | ≥ $500K | 0.003% | 0.050% |
| 3 | ≥ M | 0.000% | 0.045% |
| 4 | ≥ .5M | 0.000% | 0.040% |
| 5 | ≥ $5M | -0.002% | 0.035% |
| 6 | ≥ $50M | -0.005% | 0.030% |
| 7 | ≥ 00M | -0.008% | 0.025% |
Equity tiers
Equity tiers set the maximum number of open long-term or conditional (e.g. stop-loss / take-profit) orders you can have, based on your net collateral.
| Net collateral | Long-term or conditional orders |
|---|---|
| < 0 | 2 |
| ≥ 0 and < 00 | 10 |
| ≥ 00 and < K | 20 |
| ≥ K and < 0K | 40 |
| ≥ 0K and < $50K | 100 |
How trading fees work
A maker order adds liquidity to the order book (a resting limit order); a taker order removes it (a market order or a limit order that fills immediately). Makers pay lower fees than takers, and at higher volume tiers makers earn a rebate. Your tier is recalculated from your rolling 30-day volume, so it updates automatically as you trade. Live rates for your account are shown on the fee schedule and in the trade confirmation.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to trade on Rubin?
Trading fees start at 0.055% taker and 0.005% maker at the base tier (Tier 1) and decrease with your trailing 30-day volume, reaching 0.025% taker with maker rebates at the top tier. The same schedule applies to all perpetual and spot markets.
What is the difference between maker and taker fees?
A maker order adds liquidity by resting on the order book and pays the lower maker fee (or earns a rebate at higher tiers). A taker order removes liquidity by filling immediately against the book and pays the taker fee.
How is my fee tier determined?
Your fee tier is based on your combined maker and taker trading volume over the trailing 30 days. As your 30-day volume crosses each threshold, your maker and taker rates drop automatically.
Are there maker rebates on Rubin?
Yes. At the higher volume tiers the maker fee is negative, meaning you are paid a rebate for adding liquidity to the order book.
What are equity tiers?
Equity tiers cap how many long-term or conditional orders (such as stop-loss and take-profit) you can keep open at once, based on your net collateral — from 2 orders under
