We are excited to introduce an improved fee schedule on GDAX that will go into effect on April 5 at 00:00 UTC (April 4 at 5:00pm PT).

  • There will continue to be 0% fees for all maker orders.
  • There will be a fee between 0.10% and 0.30% for all taker orders.
  • There will no longer be separate taker fees for each Order Book. Customers will be charged the same taker fee across all Order Books based on their total trailing 30-day USD volume.
| 30-day USD Volume | Maker Fee | Taker Fee |
|-------------------|-----------|-----------|
| $0 - $10M | 0% | 0.30% |
| $10M - $100M | 0% | 0.20% |
| $100M+ | 0% | 0.10% |

How is my Taker Fee calculated

Your taker fee is based upon total USD trading volume across all Order Books over the trailing 30-day period. For example, a purchase of 1 BTC for $10,000 on the BTC-USD book will count as $10,000 towards your 30-day USD volume.

How are volumes calculated on non-USD books

Transactions made on non-USD books are converted to USD based on the most recent fill price on the corresponding USD book. For example, a purchase of 1 ETH for 0.1 BTC on the ETH-BTC book will count as the most recent fill price of 1 ETH on the ETH-USD Order Book.
