Specific to Coinbase
- Coinbase sets Advanced fees by account region. The rates here are the Intro rates for accounts outside the US, EU and UK, read in a signed-in account on 10 Nov 2026; US, EU and UK accounts pay more.
- Your tier comes from 30-day trading volume or USDC balance, whichever is better for you; spot, futures and options each have their own volume thresholds.
- A limit order that fills at once pays the taker fee; only the part that rests on the book pays the maker fee.
- CostDepth reads the full aggregated Coinbase Exchange book (level 2), thousands of price levels per side, for BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP against USD.
- Only spot is covered. Coinbase's perpetuals for non-US users run on a separate Deribit-powered venue and are not sampled here.

Coinbase questions
What are the Coinbase Advanced trading fees?
For accounts outside the US, EU and UK: 0.09% maker / 0.10% taker at Intro, 0.08% / 0.10% from $10,000 of 30-day spot volume (Advanced 1), down to 0.06% / 0.07% at VIP 1 ($1M). US, EU and UK accounts pay more. Your own rates are under Portfolio > Fees once you sign in.
Why are Coinbase prices in USD and not USDT?
The USD books are Coinbase's main markets. Its BTC-USDT book is far thinner, so the calculator uses BTC-USD, ETH-USD, SOL-USD and XRP-USD. One USD is close to one USDT, so the cost in basis points compares fairly.
Does the Coinbase referral code lower fees?
No. Code 2YD2YGZ is a referral link only; it does not change the trading fee or the spread.
Does a market order on Coinbase pay maker or taker?
Taker. A market order, or a limit order that fills at once, takes liquidity. A limit order that rests on the book first pays the maker fee when it fills.
Are Coinbase futures in the calculator?
No. CostDepth covers Coinbase spot only. The Futures button is off on this page.
