Break-even trading on OKX
On OKX, maker fee is 0.02% and taker fee is 0.05%. Using limit orders for both open and close (maker/maker), total round-trip fees are 0.04% combined. Using market orders (taker/taker), total fees are 0.1% combined.
Break-even price (Long, taker/taker) = entryPrice × (1 + 0.05%) / (1 − 0.05%). For a $60,000 BTC entry, this means you need price to move above $60,000 × 1.001 / 0.999 ≈ $60,120 just to cover fees. Using maker orders reduces this to roughly $60,024 — a $96 difference per BTC that compounds across many trades.
OKX fee structure
OKX charges maker fee 0.02% and taker fee 0.05% on perpetual futures. Maximum available leverage is 100×. This calculator pre-fills these defaults so you get accurate results without needing to look up the fee schedule. If you are on a VIP tier with discounted fees, adjust the fee fields accordingly.
Maker orders (limit orders that add liquidity) cost less than taker orders (market orders that remove liquidity). On OKX, using limit orders for both entry and exit can reduce your total fee cost significantly compared to market orders.

Because fees apply on both open and close. Even a perfect round-trip costs you money. Break-even is the price where fees are fully covered.
Does leverage affect break-even price?
