Most new traders never check which one applies to them, and it quietly eats into their profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gap between the two fees looks small on a single trade. Over a month of active trading, it can add up to a real amount of money. Knowing which fee you are paying, and why, is one of the easiest ways to trade smarter without changing your strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide breaks down the maker fee vs taker fee split in plain terms, shows you exactly how each one gets calculated, and gives you practical ways to pay less on every trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maker Fee vs Taker Fee: Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A maker fee<\/strong> applies when your order adds liquidity to the order book by resting there before it fills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A taker fee<\/strong> applies when your order removes liquidity by matching an existing order right away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maker fees are usually lower<\/strong> than taker fees, because exchanges want traders to keep the order book full.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is the Difference Between Maker Fee and Taker Fee?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The maker fee vs taker fee difference comes down to one thing: whether your order adds liquidity to the market or removes it. A maker fee is charged when your order rests in the order book and waits to be filled. A taker fee is charged when your order matches an existing order and fills right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Definition: Liquidity<\/strong> <br>How easily an asset can be bought or sold without moving its price much. More resting orders in the book means more liquidity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Exchanges reward the orders that add liquidity with a lower fee, because a full order book makes trading smoother and cheaper for everyone. Orders that remove liquidity pay more, since they consume the depth that makers built up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><\/th><th>Maker<\/th><th>Taker<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Adds or removes liquidity<\/td><td>Adds<\/td><td>Removes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Typical order type<\/td><td>Limit order (resting)<\/td><td>Market order, or a limit order that fills instantly<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Typical fee<\/td><td>Lower<\/td><td>Higher<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fill speed<\/td><td>Not guaranteed; waits for price<\/td><td>Instant<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Terms and Metrics to Know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Term \/ Metric<\/th><th>What It Means<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Maker Fee<\/td><td>Fee charged when your order adds liquidity to the book<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Taker Fee<\/td><td>Fee charged when your order removes liquidity from the book<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Maker Order<\/td><td>An order that rests in the book before it fills<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Taker Order<\/td><td>An order that fills immediately against a resting order<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Market Maker<\/td><td>A trader or firm that regularly places maker orders<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Market Taker<\/td><td>A trader who regularly places taker orders<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Order Book<\/td><td>The live list of buy and sell orders, ranked by price<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Limit Order<\/td><td>An order that only fills at your chosen price or better<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Market Order<\/td><td>An order that fills instantly at the best available price<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Post-Only Order<\/td><td>A limit order setting that cancels instead of filling as a taker<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bid Price \/ Ask Price<\/td><td>The highest buy offer \/ the lowest sell offer in the book<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bid-Ask Spread<\/td><td>The gap between the best bid and the best ask<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Maker Rebate<\/td><td>A small payment some exchanges give makers instead of charging a fee<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fee Tier \/ VIP Tier<\/td><td>A fee level based on your monthly trading volume<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Market Depth<\/td><td>The size of orders resting near the current price<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Partial Fill<\/td><td>When only part of a large order matches immediately<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Maker Order in Crypto Trading?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A maker order is a limit order placed away from the current market price. It joins the order book and waits for another trader to fill it, rather than executing right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because this order sits in the book before it matches, it adds new depth for other traders to trade against. That is exactly why exchanges charge makers a lower fee, sometimes even a small rebate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rests in the book<\/strong> instead of filling on the spot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adds liquidity<\/strong> that other traders can match against.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Usually pays a lower fee<\/strong>, and sometimes earns a rebate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fill is not guaranteed.<\/strong> The price may never reach your order.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Taker Order in Crypto Trading?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A taker order is any order that matches an existing order the moment you place it. Market orders always work this way, and limit orders can too if they are priced at or through the current market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This order consumes liquidity that a maker already placed in the book. In exchange for that instant fill, exchanges charge takers a higher fee than makers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fills immediately<\/strong> against a resting order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Removes liquidity<\/strong> from the order book.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Usually pays a higher fee<\/strong> than a maker order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fill is guaranteed<\/strong>, but the price is not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f2f1f3\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f2f1f3;\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"637\" src=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/maker-taker-order-book-diagram-1024x637.png\" alt=\"Diagram titled &#039;Maker Order vs Taker Order: How They Fill,&#039; subtitled &#039;Both sides of the same order book, priced differently for the fee they pay.&#039; Center panel shows a BTC\/USDT order book: asks (sell orders) at $65,120 for 0.42 BTC and $65,110 for 0.65 BTC, a spread, then bids (buy orders) at $65,090 for 0.30 BTC, $65,050 (labeled Maker) for 0.50 BTC, and $65,030 for 0.55 BTC.

A crypto exchange with a thin, empty order book is hard to trade on, since prices swing more and orders take longer to fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By charging lower fees to makers, exchanges encourage traders to keep placing resting orders. This keeps the bid-ask spread tight and makes the market attractive to everyone, including the takers who eventually pay more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Takers pay more for the opposite reason. A taker order consumes liquidity instead of contributing it, and it demands instant execution, which costs the exchange more to guarantee. Some platforms even reward high-volume makers with a small rebate on top of the discount, since their constant liquidity is that valuable to the exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does a Limit Order Always Pay a Maker Fee?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No. A limit order only earns the maker fee if it rests in the book before it fills. If your limit price matches an order already sitting on the other side, it executes immediately and pays the taker fee instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a common mix-up for new traders. Placing a &#8220;buy&#8221; limit order at the current best ask price does not guarantee a maker fee, since it fills the moment it is placed, just like a market order would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Post-Only Order and How Does It Cut Your Fees?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A post-only order is the most reliable way to guarantee the maker fee on every trade. It is a setting on a limit order that tells the exchange to cancel the order instead of letting it fill immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Definition: Post-Only Order<\/strong> <br>A limit order setting that rejects the order rather than filling it right away, so it only ever executes as a maker order.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Guarantees maker status.<\/strong> The order either rests in the book or gets cancelled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No accidental taker fees.<\/strong> You never pay the higher rate by mistake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Best for patient traders<\/strong> who can wait for their price instead of chasing the market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not ideal for urgent trades<\/strong>, since the order will not fill instantly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Maker vs Taker Fees Work for Crypto Futures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The maker vs taker fee split works the same way on crypto futures as it does on spot trading. The bigger difference is impact: futures fees apply to your full leveraged position size, not just the margin you put down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A small fee gap becomes a much bigger deal once leverage is involved. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/crypto-futures-trading-fees-explained-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mudrex charges a trading fee of 0.03% to 0.05% on crypto futures trades<\/a>, with the exact rate depending on your 30-day trading volume and whether your order is a maker or a taker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a worked example on a leveraged futures position, assuming a maker fee of 0.02% and a taker fee of 0.05%:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><\/th><th>Position Size<\/th><th>Fee Rate<\/th><th>Fee Paid<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Maker (resting limit order)<\/td><td>\u20b950,000<\/td><td>0.02%<\/td><td>\u20b910<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Taker (market order)<\/td><td>\u20b950,000<\/td><td>0.05%<\/td><td>\u20b925<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Difference per trade<\/td><td><\/td><td><\/td><td>\u20b915<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That \u20b915 gap looks small on one trade. Run 40 trades a month at that size, and the difference between trading as a maker versus a taker adds up to \u20b9600, before any funding fees or slippage.

You can, however, reduce how often you pay them by changing a few habits in how you place orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use post-only orders<\/strong> whenever you are not in a rush to fill.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Set your limit price<\/strong> slightly away from the current market, not at it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid market orders<\/strong> for entries and exits you can plan ahead of time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check your fee tier<\/strong>, since higher monthly volume usually unlocks lower rates on both sides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Batch smaller trades<\/strong> into fewer, larger ones where your strategy allows it, since each trade carries its own fee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Traders running <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/futures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">crypto futures<\/a> strategies through an API or a bot face this same choice on every order the system places.

Knowing which one applies to your order type, and using post-only orders when you can, is one of the easiest ways to keep more of your profit on every trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If fee efficiency matters to your strategy, it is worth comparing platforms directly.
