Fee Calculator (ZAR)
Estimate what a set of trades could cost. All inputs are your own assumptions — this is not a quote from any platform.
This calculator estimates entry-tier fees for the pair categories each exchange publishes; spreads, instant-buy screens and volume discounts are not modelled.
Estimated cost
- Trading fee
- R 5,00
- Trading fees (1 trades)
- R 5,00
- Withdrawal fee
- R 0,00
- Total traded (turnover)
- R 5 000,00
- Estimated total cost
- R 5,00
- Effective cost
- 0,1 %
Assumptions behind this estimate
Assumptions: fees are applied per trade on the full trade amount; the withdrawal fee is charged once. Real platform fees are tiered and change — check the official fee schedule.
South Africa presets (verified data only)
Each preset is filled from the exchange's own fee page, read on the date shown. Rates are the entry-level tier per pair category; withdrawal rails are the published ZAR options. Nothing below is estimated: an exchange without a published, verified number appears in the "not yet available" list with the reason, and a preset whose data passes its re-check window is disabled until it is re-verified.

- Binance: Missing verified data: a verified per-pair maker/taker schedule, ZAR withdrawal fee.
- Kraken: Missing verified data: a verified per-pair maker/taker schedule, ZAR withdrawal fee.
- Ovex: Missing verified data: a published maker/taker rate (quote-based pricing: the cost is the spread inside each quote).
Assumptions behind this estimate
- Trading fee = trade amount × fee percentage (maker or taker of the selected pair category) × number of trades. Turnover = trade amount × trades. Effective cost = total cost ÷ turnover.
- Estimate assumes the entry-level fee tier. Volume tiers lower the rate for high-volume accounts; the calculator does not model them. Where a rate differs by pair category you choose the category; a negative maker rate is a rebate.
- The withdrawal fee is charged once on the withdrawal amount you enter (default: the trade amount, i.e. your principal — never the turnover). Free allowances such as VALR's 30 free normal withdrawals a month are applied when "Use free monthly withdrawal allowance" is ticked (the default for a typical new user); untick it if you have used the allowance.
- Instant-buy or simple-buy screens, spreads, price movement, bank charges on your side and crypto network fees are not included. Quote-based platforms (Ovex) have no maker/taker rate and cannot be modelled here. Where a fee is variable the calculator shows "Variable — verify current fee on the provider." instead of a number.
- Presets reflect the pages cited above on their verification dates; exchanges change fees without notice. A preset is disabled automatically once its fee data is older than30 days. Full method: Methodology › Fee Calculator.
