Short answer

BingX spot maker and taker were re-checked at 0.10% on 2026-10-22. The perpetual row is still Unverified because the perpetual table did not load. Tapbit's derivatives taker was copied from Tapbit's help article on 2026-10-22. Rank order uses the copied taker rates only. It is not a live invoice, and the copy dates are not one day.
How the figure is built
Take the copied perpetual taker percent, divide by 100, multiply by 1,000, then multiply by two. KCEX at 0.01% is 0.10 USDT one way and 0.20 USDT round trip. MEXC's copied BTC_USDT taker at 0.02% is 0.20 USDT one way and 0.40 USDT round trip. A 0.06% taker is 0.60 USDT one way and 1.20 USDT round trip. The 10,000 USDT column is ten times those taker figures.
Maker round trips use the copied maker rate instead, and they are on each guide. A post-only fill is not this column. The tools workbook repeats the same taker math and leaves funding as a rate you type. The fee desk lets you change the notional.

Questions
How is the 1,000 USDT round trip calculated?
Notional times the copied perpetual taker percent, divided by 100, times two. The two covers an open and a close. Maker fills, VIP discounts, funding, and the spread are not in the cell.
Why do the copy dates differ?
Each desk keeps the day its schedule was copied. These cells were not re-read from the venues on 2026-11-04. A later VIP tier or a pair-specific rate can change the invoice.
Why is BingX perpetual taker Unverified?
The perpetual table on BingX's costs page did not load when this desk checked it. The spot rate was re-checked at 0.10% maker and taker on 2026-10-22. The perpetual cell stays Unverified from 2025-09-17.
Does KCEX at 0.20 USDT include a referral rebate?
No. KCEX has no LiquidityFlow referral code. The 0.20 USDT figure is the copied 0.01% taker rate on 1,000 USDT, open and close, dated 2026-08-27.
Is the MEXC figure every MEXC contract?
No. The copied perpetual taker is the BTC_USDT pair on 2026-10-22, 0% maker and 0.02% taker. Pair, event, region, and an MX discount can change what you pay.
Where are the head-to-head pages?
