Crypto fee calculator: Coinbase vs Kraken, Binance, OKX and Bybit
Enter what you plan to spend and pick how you will buy. The calculator applies each exchange's published entry-tier rate — the rate a new account actually pays — and links every figure to the fee page it came from.
What this does not include
- The spread — the gap between the buy and sell price, largest on instant-buy screens.
- Network fees when you withdraw coins to your own wallet.
- Deposit or payment-method fees charged by your bank or card issuer.
- Volume discounts — rates fall as your 30-day trading volume rises.
CFD brokers are deliberately left out: they charge a spread plus a daily overnight financing fee instead of a trading fee, and you never own the coin. Compare them separately on the brokers page. CFD brokers

What does a crypto fee calculator leave out?
The spread, network withdrawal fees, deposit fees charged by your bank or card issuer, and volume discounts. Trading fees are usually the smallest of these on a small purchase made through an instant-buy screen.
Why are CFD brokers not in this calculator?
A CFD broker does not sell you the coin — it sells a contract on the price, costed through a spread and a daily overnight financing charge. Putting those next to exchange trading fees would compare two different products.

Crypto is volatile and largely unregulated. CFDs are leveraged and most retail accounts lose money. Never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
