Understanding Trading Fee Tiers on OKX

Trading fee tiers on OKX are structured levels that determine the amount of fees you pay when executing trades on the platform. These tiers are influenced by your trading volume and OKB holdings, which together determine whether you qualify for lower maker and taker fees. The higher your volume or the more OKB you hold in your account, the better your fee tier. Fee tiers are typically updated on a weekly basis, calculated every Monday based on the previous week’s activity. It's crucial to understand that both spot trading and derivatives trading have separate fee structures and tier calculations.

Accessing Your Account Dashboard on OKX

To begin checking your trading fee tier, you must first log in to your OKX account. Navigate to the official OKX website or open the mobile application. After entering your credentials, ensure you are on the main dashboard. In the top-right corner of the screen, click on your profile icon or account name. From the dropdown menu, select "Account Overview" or "Personal Center", depending on the interface language. This section provides access to various account details, including assets, orders, and importantly, fee tier information.

Navigating to the Fee Tier Section

Once in your account settings, locate the "Fees & Limits" tab. This section is typically found under "Security & Identity" or "Account Settings". Click on "Trading Fees" or "Fee Tier" within this section. Here, OKX displays your current maker fee rate and taker fee rate. Below this, you’ll see a breakdown of what determines your tier: your 30-day trading volume and your OKB balance. The platform will also show your position within the fee tier ladder, indicating whether you are in a standard tier or have qualified for a reduced fee bracket due to high volume or OKB holdings.

• Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner
• Select "Account Overview" from the dropdown menu
• Navigate to "Fees & Limits" in the left-hand menu
• Click on "Trading Fees" to view your current tier
• Review the displayed maker and taker rates alongside volume and OKB requirements

Interpreting the Fee Tier Table

OKX provides a comprehensive fee tier table that outlines all possible tiers based on volume and OKB. This table is accessible within the Trading Fees section. Each row represents a different tier, with columns showing minimum 30-day volume, minimum OKB balance, maker fee, and taker fee. Your current status is highlighted, often with a green badge or checkmark. For example, if your 30-day volume is $1 million and you hold 500 OKB, you may fall into Tier 5, which could offer a maker fee of 0.08% and a taker fee of 0.10%. The system automatically applies the best possible tier based on your combined eligibility from volume and OKB.

It's important to note that OKB balance is calculated as an average over the past 30 days for fee tier purposes, not just your current balance. This means sudden purchases of OKB may not immediately upgrade your tier. The system evaluates your average OKB holdings across the month. Additionally, referral volume from users you invite can also contribute to your tier, provided they are linked through OKX’s affiliate program.

Checking Fee Tiers for Different Trading Products

OKX applies fee tiers separately across different trading products. This means your spot trading fee tier may differ from your futures or perpetual swap fee tier. To view these distinctions, return to the Trading Fees section and use the product selector at the top. Choose between Spot, Futures, Perpetual Swaps, or Options. Each product will display its own volume calculation, OKB requirements, and current fee rates. For instance, your futures trading volume does not count toward your spot fee tier, and vice versa. Ensure you check each product category individually if you trade across multiple markets.

• Switch between Spot, Futures, and Perpetual Swaps using the product tab
• Observe separate 30-day volumes for each product
• Note that OKB requirements may vary slightly between products
• Confirm your current tier is reflected correctly for each trading type

Verifying Fee Tier Through API or Mobile App

For advanced users, OKX offers API access to retrieve fee tier information programmatically. By calling the /api/v5/account/fee-rate endpoint with proper authentication, you can fetch your current maker and taker fees for a specific product type. This method is useful for traders who automate their operations or manage multiple accounts. Ensure your API key has "Read" permission enabled under the Account scope.

On the OKX mobile app, the process is similar. Open the app, tap the profile icon, go to "Account", then select "Fees & Limits". Tap "Trading Fees" to view your tier. The mobile interface displays the same data as the web version, including volume history, OKB balance impact, and tier progression. Some users find the mobile layout more intuitive for quick checks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often are OKX trading fee tiers updated?
OKX updates fee tiers every Monday at 00:00 UTC. The update is based on your 30-day cumulative trading volume and average OKB holdings from the previous week. Changes take effect immediately after the update cycle.

Does holding OKB in a wallet outside OKX count toward my fee tier?

No. Only OKB held in your OKX spot account contributes to fee tier calculations. OKB stored in external wallets, futures accounts, or staked positions not marked for fee reduction will not be counted.

Can I see historical fee tier data on OKX?

Yes. Within the Trading Fees section, there is a "Tier History" subsection that shows your past fee tiers over the last 90 days. This includes changes due to volume spikes or OKB balance adjustments.

Do referral trading volumes affect my personal fee tier?

Yes. If you are enrolled in the OKX Affiliate Program, 30% of your direct referrals’ trading volume is added to your own 30-day volume for fee tier calculation. This can help you reach higher tiers faster.
