# Fee Split Explained

Every trading fee collected on Yellow\.pro is automatically divided into allocation buckets that support $YELLOW buybacks and platform operations.

{% hint style="info" %}
The trading fee **you** pay does not change. The fee split only determines how the collected fee is distributed internally after your trade completes.
{% endhint %}

## Fee Split

* **85%** → $YELLOW buybacks
* **15%** → platform operations

The buyback allocation is the largest portion.

## What Each Allocation Does

* **$YELLOW buyback (85%)** — purchases $YELLOW from the open market, connecting platform trading activity to the token's value and ecosystem strength.
* **Platform operations (15%)** — infrastructure, development, and operational costs.

## Example

A trade generating a 10 USDT trading fee is divided as **8.5 USDT → $YELLOW buybacks** and **1.5 USDT → platform operations**. The trader paid exactly 10 USDT — only the internal use differs.

## Important Things to Know

* The trading fee you pay stays exactly the same — splitting happens internally.
* The majority of collected fees go toward $YELLOW buybacks.
* Split percentages may evolve as the platform develops.
