Comparing against Backpack Exchange fees: 0.02% maker / 0.06% taker
How is this calculated?
The calculator splits your monthly volume into maker and taker portions based on the ratio you set. Each portion is multiplied by the corresponding fee rate. The monthly cost is then multiplied by 12 to get your yearly figure.
The same calculation is run against Backpack Exchange's published fee structure (0.02% maker / 0.06% taker). The difference is your potential yearly saving.

Common questions
What is the difference between a maker and a taker fee?
A maker fee applies when you add liquidity by placing a limit order that sits on the book before filling. A taker fee applies when you place a market order or a limit order that fills immediately. Maker fees are almost always lower because you are providing liquidity to the exchange.
Why do trading fees compound against me?
Every fee reduces the capital available for the next trade. Over a year of active trading, even a small difference in fee rate accumulates into a meaningful drag on total returns. Reducing fees is one of the few edges in trading that requires no prediction of market direction.
