How to Calculate Spot Trading Fees

1. Trading Fee Level
After logging in, You can click the Fee button via KuCoin's official website or click your Fees & VIP from your profile page. And you can also just visit the trading fee page to check your trading fee level and current fee. The higher your trading fee level is, the lower your trading fee is, even a negative fee rate is possible.
