Kraken Fees

Tiered Pricing: Trading fees follow a volume-based maker-taker model, typically starting at 0.25% for makers and 0.40% for takers in the lowest tier (/bin/bash - 0k).
Instant Buy Costs: Using the "Buy Crypto" button (Instant Buy) is significantly more expensive than the Pro interface, often carrying a 0.9% to 1.5% fee plus a spread.
Withdrawal Variability: Crypto withdrawal fees are not free and vary by network; for example, BTC withdrawals cost ~0.00005 BTC and ETH network fees fluctuate with congestion.
Stablecoin Exceptions: Specific fee schedules apply to stablecoin-to-stablecoin or FX pairs, which can differ from standard spot crypto trading rates.

Note: Fees are calculated based on your 30-day trading volume. VIP tiers offer further reductions.
