Important Note: Fees vary based on VIP level and monthly volume. This article shows base rates; your actual fees may be lower. Always check your VIP level on Bitget before trading.
Reduce Fees with BGB
Paying trading fees with Bitget's BGB token grants a 20% discount. The VIP program further reduces fees for traders with high monthly volume.
Trading Fees: Spot and Futures
| Trading Type | Maker (Base) | Taker (Base) |
|---|---|---|
| Spot Trading | 0.1% | 0.1% |
| Perpetual Futures | 0.02% | 0.06% |
| Expiry Futures | 0.03% | 0.08% |
| Copy Trading | 10% of profits | 10% of profits |
What Does Maker and Taker Mean?
Maker: Creates liquidity. You place a limit order (e.g., "I want to buy BTC at $60,000") and wait for someone to fill it. You pay 0.1% (spot) or 0.02% (futures) — the lower fee.
Taker: Takes liquidity. You use a market order (e.g., "buy BTC at the best price now") and the transaction happens instantly. You pay 0.1% (spot) or 0.06% (futures) — the higher fee.
To save money: Use limit orders instead of market orders. You might wait a few extra seconds, but you save up to 3x on futures fees.

Withdrawals from Bitget
| Cryptocurrency | Withdrawal Fee | Minimum Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin (BTC) | ~0.0002 BTC | ~$15 (varies with price) |
| Ethereum (ETH) | 0.01 ETH | ~$25-30 |
| USDT (ERC20) | 10 USDT | 15 USDT |

VIP Levels and Volume Discounts
Bitget rewards active traders. The higher your monthly volume, the lower your fees. Additionally, you get benefits like priority withdrawals and access to private trading.
| VIP Level | Monthly Volume ($) | Spot Fee (Maker) | Futures Fee (Maker) |
|---|---|---|---|
| VIP 0 (Base) | 0 - 10,000 | 0.1% | 0.02% |
| VIP 1 | 10,000 - 50,000 | 0.08% | 0.015% |
| VIP 2 | 50,000 - 250,000 | 0.06% | 0.01% |
| VIP 3 | 250,000+ | 0.01% | -0.005%* |
* VIP 3 makers receive rebates instead of paying fees on some instruments. They pay you to provide liquidity!
Additional Discount with BGB Token
Bitget has its native token, BGB. If you hold BGB in your trading balance and use it to pay fees, you receive up to a 20% discount on all trading fees. This works similarly to BNB on Binance. For example:
- Without BGB: 0.1% fee (base)
- With BGB payment: 0.08% fee (-20%)
- VIP + BGB: Stack discounts for maximum savings
To buy BGB, simply go to Bitget and purchase it like any other cryptocurrency. Enable BGB fee payment in your account settings.
Comparison: Bitget vs Other Exchanges
| Exchange | Spot Maker | Futures Maker | Deposit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitget | 0.1% | 0.02% | Free |
| Binance | 0.1% | 0.02% | Free |
| Bybit | 0.1% | 0.02% | Free |
| Kraken | 0.16% | 0.02% | Free |
| Coinbase | 0.5% | 0.6% | Free |
Verdict: Bitget is competitive at 0.1% spot (same as Binance/Bybit) and 0.02% futures maker. With the VIP program, fees drop even further. Not the absolute cheapest, but fair and transparent.
How to Calculate the Total Cost of a Trade
Practical Example: Buying 0.5 BTC at $65,000
Situation:
- Amount: 0.5 BTC = $32,500
- Spot maker fee: 0.1%
- VIP Level: 0 (base)
Calculation:
- Trading fee: $32,500 x 0.1% = $32.50
- Total spent: $32,500 + $32.50 = $32,532.50
- Actual BTC amount: 32,532.50 / 65,000 = 0.5004 BTC (slightly less)
Same Trade, If You Were VIP 2
- Spot maker fee: 0.06%
- Trading fee: $32,500 x 0.06% = $19.50 (save $13)
