Trading fees

August 23, 2026

A fee determined by your order type and your 30-day trading volume is charged on every trade you make on Paribu. Fees are split into two types: market maker, which adds an offer to the order book, and market taker, which hits an existing order instantly.

What are market maker and market taker fees?

The market maker fee is the rate applied when you add a new offer to the order book. The market taker fee is applied when you hit an existing pending order in the order book instantly. The market maker rate is lower than the market taker rate because you add liquidity to the order book.

Market maker: Orders that are held in the order book. Limit orders and triggered stop orders are added to the order book and filled at the market maker rate if there is no order to match immediately on the other side.
Market taker: Orders that are matched instantly with existing orders in the order book. Market orders and limit orders that hit the current best order instantly are filled at the market taker rate.

Note: Market orders, including instant buy and sell orders in the easy buy/sell view, are always filled at the market taker rate.

What are the standard fee rates?

Fee rates fall across eight tiers according to your 30-day buy and sell volume in TRY. You start at tier 1 by default and move up to the next tier as your volume grows. The table below shows the market maker and market taker rates at each tier for TRY pairs.

Note: The app calls these steps tiers; the fee rates screen shows the tier you are in as "Tier 1". This is separate from your Loyalty level — your fee tier comes only from your trading volume.

Tier	Market maker	Market taker	30-day trading volume (TRY)
1	0.12%	0.28%	0 – 1 million
2	0.11%	0.24%	1 million – 10 million
3	0.1%	0.22%	10 million – 50 million
4	0.08%	0.18%	50 million – 100 million
5	0.06%	0.16%	100 million – 500 million
6	0.04%	0.14%	500 million – 1 billion
7	0.02%	0.12%	1 billion – 2.5 billion
8	0.01%	0.1%	2.5 billion and above

Your tier is calculated over a rolling 30-day window and is reassessed at 00:00 every night. When your total buy and sell volume over the last 30 days reaches the threshold of the next tier, your fee rates are updated automatically.

Note: The table above applies only to TRY pairs. In USDT pairs the fee is independent of the tier; the market maker rate is a fixed 0.01% and the market taker rate a fixed 0.1% at all tiers.

How is the fee calculated?

The fee is calculated as a percentage of your trade amount and is charged automatically at the time of the trade. When you enter an amount on the Buy/Sell form, an Est. fee field appears on the screen and shows your approximate fee in advance. Once the trade is executed, the exact fee amount is reflected in the transaction detail.

Example: When a user at tier 1 places a market order of TRY 10,000, approximately TRY 28 is charged at the market taker rate (0.28%). For a limit order of the same amount added to the order book, the market maker rate (0.12%) applies and the fee is approximately TRY 12.

For partially filled orders the fee is charged only on the filled part; no fee applies to the canceled or pending part.

How are Loyalty level discounts applied?

The table above shows the standard fee rates. If your Loyalty level is Green+ or above, an extra discount is applied to the market taker rate of the fee tier you are in. The discount rate applied according to your Loyalty level is shown as a tag on the fee rates screen (for example "5% Green+ discount").

Extra discount for TRY pairs:

Loyalty level	Extra discount
Green	—
Green+	5%
Black	10%
Black+	15%

Extra discount for USDT pairs:

Loyalty level	Extra discount
Green	—
Green+	15%
Black	20%
Black+	25%

Example: For a user at fee tier 1 who is Black in Loyalty, the market taker rate in TRY pairs is applied as 0.252% with a 10% discount instead of the standard 0.28%. The same user trades at 0.08% in USDT pairs, because the standard market taker rate there is 0.1% and a 20% discount applies.

Your crypto year plays a part as a requirement when moving up to Green+ and higher levels; once you meet the criteria, the extra discounts of that level apply. If your crypto year is not enough for the next level, you can increase it by documenting your experience on other crypto platforms.

Where can I see my fee rates?

You can view your current rates in the app.

Tap the menu icon at the top left of any tab to open the Account section
Tap Account and settings
Tap Commission rates

The upper part of the fee rates screen shows the tier you are in (for example Tier 1) and your market maker and market taker rates for the TRY and USDT pairs. If a discount is applied according to your Loyalty level, the discounted rate and the discount tag (for example "5% Green+ discount") appear in this area. The progress bar below it shows your 30-day trading volume and the volume needed to reach the next tier. The lower part of the screen lists the eight-tier fee table, with the tier you are in marked.

Warning: Information on the order book can change instantly. For this reason, whether your order counts as market maker or market taker may differ from the information you saw during the trade.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between market maker and market taker fees?

The market maker fee applies to trades where you create a new offer on the order book and is lower. The market taker fee applies to trades where you accept an existing order on the order book and is higher.

Which fee is charged for a market order?

The market taker fee rate always applies to market orders. A market order is treated as market taker because it is matched instantly with the existing orders in the order book.

Which fee is charged for a limit order?

For a limit order, whether the order is held in the order book determines this. If your order is added to the order book and matched later, it is treated as market maker; if it finds an order that can be filled immediately on the other side and is matched instantly, it is treated as market taker.

Which asset is the fee charged from?

For purchases the fee is charged from the asset you buy, and for sales from the TRY amount you receive. For example, in a BTC purchase of TRY 10,000 the fee is deducted from the BTC amount, and in a BTC sale of TRY 10,000 it is deducted from the TRY amount you receive.

When do I move up to the next tier?

Your tier is updated automatically according to your 30-day trading volume and is recalculated at 00:00 every night. When your total buy and sell volume over the last 30 days exceeds the threshold of the next tier, the rates of the new tier apply to your following trades.
