# Fees

Fees are charged when trades are filled and when certain account actions occur.

Common fee types on the current platform include:

* **trading fees**
* **network fees for withdrawals**

For **spot trading**, Yellow’s standard fee is:

* **Maker: 0.10%**
* **Taker: 0.10%**

If fees are paid with **$YELLOW**, the spot fee is reduced to:

* **Maker: 0.075%**
* **Taker: 0.075%**

### Trading Fees

Trading fees are charged when your order is filled.

Simple model:

`fee = fill value × fee rate`

where:

`fill value = price × size` 

Example:

* if you buy `1 ETH` at `2,000 USDT`
* the fill value is `2,000 USDT`
* at **0.10%**, the trading fee is **2 USDT**
* at **0.075%**, the trading fee is **1.5 USDT**

### Maker vs Taker

Orders may be described as **maker** or **taker** depending on how they interact with the order book:

* **Maker** — your order rests in the order book and fills later
* **Taker** — your order fills immediately against existing liquidity

For **spot markets** in the current fee structure:

* standard: **0.10% maker / 0.10% taker**
* with **$YELLOW** discount: **0.075% maker / 0.075% taker**

### Withdrawal Network Fees

Withdrawals may also include a **network fee**. This is the blockchain cost required to process the transaction onchain.

The exact network fee depends on:

* the asset
* the selected network
* current blockchain conditions

### Where to Verify Charges

Users should be able to review charges in:

* trade or fill history
* withdrawal history
* confirmation screens shown before submitting an action

### What to Check Before You Trade or Withdraw

Before confirming an action, check:

* the trading fee shown for the market
* whether a **$YELLOW** discount applies
* the total order value
* the expected fee amount
* the selected withdrawal network
* any network fee shown before withdrawal confirmation
