# Position Exchange's Futures Transaction Fees

**Futures transaction fees:**

The transaction fee is calculated based on your notional value

**How are transaction fees calculated?**

Formula for Perpetual transaction fees:

Transaction fee = Notional value × Transaction fee rate

Nominal value = Order Quantity × Order Price (Avg. Price for Market Order)

For Position Exchange users, Maker fees are 0.01% and Taker fees are 0.02%.

Buying 1 BTCBUSD Futures Contract using a Market Order and leverage of 10x:

> Suppose that the average filled price is 49,000 BUSD

Notional value

\= Order Quantity  × Order Price (Avg. Price for Market Order)

\= 1 BTC × 49,000

\= 49,000

Then, there is a transaction fee of 49,000 × 0.02% = 9.8 BUSD.

Initial Margin

\= Order Quantity / Leverage \* Order Price (Avg. Price for Market Order)

\= 1/10 \* 49,000

\= 4,900 BUSD

So the final amount you need to pay to open a Market order is 4,909.8 BUSD.
