VIP fee tiers

Bybit lowers fees as you move up its VIP levels. You reach a level through your asset balance or your 30-day trading volume, whichever qualifies you higher.

From VIP 4 up, Bybit counts API volume for at most 20% of derivatives and options volume. Source: Bybit fee page (updated 2 Sep 2026, crypto-to-crypto spot, base rates), verified 11 Oct 2026.

What a trade actually costs (worked examples)

Fees are a percentage of the notional value of the order, which is the full size of the position, not the margin you put up.

Open and close are charged separately. A round trip (open, then close) pays the fee twice. A $1,000 futures position opened and closed with market orders costs about $0.55 + $0.55 = $1.10 in trading fees at non-VIP rates, before funding.

Leverage multiplies the notional, so it multiplies the fee. If you put up $100 of margin at 10x, the position is $1,000 notional and the fee is charged on $1,000: $0.55 per side as a taker, not $0.055. This is cost arithmetic, not a suggestion to use leverage.

Maker vs taker. A maker order is a limit order that rests on the order book until someone trades against it. A taker order fills immediately against orders already on the book, such as a market order. On Bybit’s futures, the non-VIP taker rate (0.055%) is nearly three times the maker rate (0.02%).

Funding fees on perpetuals. Perpetual contracts also carry periodic funding payments between long and short traders. Funding is not a Bybit trading fee, and its rate changes over time. We do not record funding rates.

Leverage warning. At 10x, a 10% price move against you equals your whole margin, before fees. Liquidation usually comes earlier because exchanges require a maintenance margin.

Copy-trading costs on Bybit

Copy trading copies losses as well as gains. Bybit’s Copy Trading Classic copies perpetual futures positions, where you can lose your whole margin quickly. A Master Trader’s past results do not predict future results.

Bybit states no separate copy-trading fee. As a follower in Copy Trading Classic you pay:

• Normal trading fees to open and close each copied position (they are deducted when net profit is calculated).
• A profit share on net profit to the Master Trader, set by rank: mainly Cadet 10%, Bronze 10%, Silver 12% and Gold 15%.

Bybit calculates net profit as position profit and loss minus the opening and closing fees. Profit share is pre-deducted daily and refunded if the weekly cycle ends in a net loss. The cycle runs Saturday 00:00 to Friday 23:59:59 UTC, and settlement is on Mondays at 03:00 UTC. The minimum to copy is 100 USDT, and a Master Trader can set a higher one.

Deposit and withdrawal fees

Withdrawal record (researched, not tested). WithdrawFirst does not open exchange accounts, deposit or withdraw funds. This section summarises Bybit’s own withdrawal rules and notices, public incident reports and our dated complaint sample. Last verified 10 Oct 2026.

Withdrawal fees: not yet verified. Bybit charges a fixed fee per coin and chain. It lists the fee on its Crypto Deposit/Withdrawal Status page and in the withdrawal window before you confirm. Internal transfers between Bybit accounts are free. We could not read the per-coin figures from Bybit’s own pages, and we do not copy older third-party figures.

Deposit fees: not yet verified. We have no record of Bybit’s deposit fees from an official page, so we make no claim either way.

How long withdrawals take, by Bybit’s account. Bybit says an instant withdrawal may take up to 15 minutes to process, and that withdrawals may take longer when the network is highly congested. That is Bybit’s own estimate, not a time we measured. Withdrawals are also blocked for 24 hours after security changes such as a password, phone, email or two-factor change.

Platform status. No platform-wide Bybit withdrawal suspension found (checked 11 Oct 2026). That is the result of our search of official notices and press, not a guarantee.

In a sample of 95 Trustpilot reviews of Bybit, Binance, MEXC and Bitget (every review on page 2 of each exchange’s page, all star ratings, read on 9 October 2026), 47 were mainly about frozen accounts or withheld withdrawals, and 53 mentioned the problem. This is a small, self-selected sample of mostly one-star reviews, not a measure of how often accounts are frozen. How we count complaints

For Bybit’s withdrawal limits and its appeal route for held funds, see the withdrawals section of our Bybit review. If an account is frozen, our frozen-account guide sets out what to do, in order.

India: buying with rupees. Bybit’s India guide lists UPI/IMPS through Onmeta, a third-party provider, for buying only, plus INR P2P to buy and sell. Onmeta’s fees are set by Onmeta; we have not yet verified them.

Bybit fees in India: GST and TDS

According to Bybit’s India tax FAQ (updated 30 Jul 2026), two extra costs apply to users whose verified ID, proof of address or declared address is in India:

• 18% GST on trading and service fees.
• 1% TDS on crypto-to-fiat sales and crypto-to-crypto trades, not on fiat-to-crypto buys. Bybit deducts it from the assets you receive.

You can export TDS and GST invoices from Bybit’s tax centre (Account → Tax center). Bybit India GST/TDS FAQ, verified 10 Oct 2026.

Worked example (GST). On a $1,000 futures taker order, the fee is $0.55. GST at 18% adds $0.099, for a total of about $0.649 on that side of the trade.

TDS is not a fee. It is tax withheld and credited against your income tax. 1% TDS applies to VDA transfers (Section 194S of the Income-tax Act, 1961 until 31 March 2026; Section 393(1), Table Sl. No. 8(vi) of the Income-tax Act, 2025 from 1 April 2026; rates and thresholds unchanged). Gains are taxed at 30% plus surcharge and cess (Section 115BBH of the 1961 Act; equivalent provision of the Income-tax Act, 2025 from 1 April 2026). The 1% rate itself is stated by exchanges, including Bybit. See the tax section of our India guide.

This is not tax advice; ask a chartered accountant.

Bybit’s India FAQ also lists products that are not available to India users: Bybit Card, Trading Bot, Bybit CFD and altcoin P2P. We do not link to futures or copy trading for Indian readers; the futures fees on this page are for information only.

How to lower your Bybit fees

• Use limit orders that rest on the book where it suits your trade. Maker fills are charged the lower maker rate (0.02% vs 0.055% on non-VIP futures).
• VIP levels lower the rate, but they need a large balance or large 30-day volume (VIP 1 starts at $100,000 in assets, $1M spot volume or $10M derivatives volume). Trading more to reach a tier is not a saving if it increases your risk.
• Count the round trip. Opening and closing are both charged, and in India 18% GST is added to every fee.
