Hyperliquid Fee Tiers by 14-Day Volume

The Hyperliquid fee tier ladder from 0 to 6, how rolling 14-day weighted volume sets your tier, and how spot volume counts double.

Direct answer

Hyperliquid sets your base fee tier from rolling 14-day weighted volume. Perps volume counts once and spot volume counts twice. Tier 0 starts at 0.045% perp taker; Tier 1 begins above $5M and Tier 6 above $7B, where perp taker falls to 0.024%. Your tier can move down as well as up because the window rolls.

In short

  1. 1The tier is based on a rolling 14-day window, so it changes daily.
  2. 2Spot volume counts twice toward the shared tier.
  3. 3Tiers reduce the base rate; staking and referral discounts apply after.
Risk notice
Crypto perpetuals and leveraged trading are high risk. You can lose money through liquidation, funding, slippage, oracle issues, protocol failures, and market volatility.

What are the fee tiers?

The reviewed perps schedule, taker and maker, by 14-day weighted volume:

  • Tier 0 ($0): 0.045% / 0.015%.
  • Tier 1 (>$5M): 0.040% / 0.012%.
  • Tier 2 (>$25M): 0.035% / 0.008%.
  • Tier 3 (>$100M): 0.030% / 0.004%.
  • Tier 4 (>$500M): 0.028% / 0%.
  • Tier 5 (>$2B): 0.026% / 0%.
  • Tier 6 (>$7B): 0.024% / 0%.

How is weighted volume calculated?

Weighted volume adds perps volume once and spot volume twice, over a rolling 14-day window. A trader who splits activity across both markets therefore reaches a tier faster than the same dollar volume in perps alone.

Why can my tier change without trading less?

Because the window rolls, a large trading day drops out after 14 days. If activity slows, the weighted total falls and you can slip back a tier. Check the tier before relying on last month's rate in a plan.

How do I confirm my own rate?

Hyperliquid exposes account fee rates through its public info API, which is what the account lookup on this site reads. Treat the table above as a baseline and the returned account rate as the number that applies to you.

Example: reaching Tier 1

Say you trade $2M of perps and $1.5M of spot over 14 days. Perps count once and spot counts twice, so weighted volume is $2M + $3M = $5M. Tier 1 begins above $5M, so you would need slightly more to cross it.

At Tier 1 the perp taker rate falls from 0.045% to 0.040%, which saves $5 on every $100,000 of taker notional. Estimate how much extra volume you would truly trade before chasing a tier, because trading more only to lower the rate rarely pays.

Common mistakes

Recheck your tier each week with the account lookup, and model costs at the tier you will realistically hold.

  • Counting spot volume once instead of twice.
  • Assuming a tier is permanent after a single heavy week.
  • Ignoring that the tier lowers only the base rate, not funding or slippage.

Practical next steps

Open the fee calculator, enter your expected monthly perp and spot volume, and note which tier the weighted total lands in. Then run the same trade at the tier below and the tier above to see how little the base rate moves the answer next to funding and spread. Finally, check the account fee lookup for the rate Hyperliquid currently returns for your address, and write that figure into your plan instead of the table value. Revisit it monthly, because the rolling window means a quiet fortnight lowers your tier and quietly raises your costs.
