CALCULATOR
Arcus fee calculator
Enter your 30-day perp volume and how much of it fills as maker. The calculator picks your tier, applies either the live beta rates or Arcus's standard schedule, and shows what the 5% referral discount takes off.
Resting limit orders that get filled are maker; market orders are taker.

An estimate: it treats your whole 30-day volume as filled at one tier and ignores funding, which is paid between traders. Arcus works out the real fee on each fill.
Arcus perp fee tiers
Tiers are set by rolling 30-day perp volume across all markets, move up automatically, and add up across the sub-accounts of one wallet. Every market uses the same schedule. A negative maker rate is a rebate, credited to your collateral on each qualifying fill.
Beta rates from GET /v1/feetiers on October 2, 2026. Standard rates from Arcus's help center, checked October 2, 2026. The calculator above re-reads the beta rates live.

The referral discount
Arcus's app tells a trader entering a referral code that they will “Receive 5% off on all trading fees”, and its API changelog for July 22, 2026 added a “5% referral fee discount for referred users”. That is Arcus's stated discount; this site earns a share of the fees of traders who join with code ARCUSGUIDE. The code only binds early, while your 30-day volume is still under Arcus's cutoff, and it does not by itself unlock perps, which need an invite code or a waitlist slot. More on the referral page.
Spot Stock Tokens: no Arcus fee
The tiers above are for perpetuals. Spot Stock Token trades carry a 0% Arcus trading fee. What you pay is the spread inside the market maker's quote, which tends to be wider outside US market hours. Most token swaps are gasless, but keep a little ETH on Robinhood Chain for the actions that are not.
What is not a fee
Funding is paid between traders every hour, not to Arcus, so it is not in this calculator; see the live funding rates. Placing and cancelling perp orders costs no gas.
