Trading fees
Fees mirror Polymarket’s trading fees and are shown on the trade panel before you confirm. The exact fee for the market you are on appears on the Est. fee line.
- The fee is largest at 50/50 odds and gets smaller as the price moves toward the edges (1¢ or 99¢).
- Fees apply when you place a normal buy or sell (you are taking liquidity).
How much
This table shows the most you would pay on a market (at 50/50 odds), as a percentage of your trade:| Market type | Fee at 50/50 odds |
|---|---|
| Crypto | up to 3.5% |
| Economics, Culture, Weather | up to 2.5% |
| Finance, Politics, Tech | up to 2.0% |
| Sports | up to 1.5% |
| Geopolitical and world events | Free |
Many markets are free. Geopolitical and world-event markets never charge a fee, and any market that Polymarket has not enabled fees on is free too. Whenever a market is free, the trade panel shows Est. fee: Free.
How the fee is applied
- When you buy: the fee comes out of the amount you enter, so you receive slightly fewer shares than a fee-free amount would buy. A fresh position can show a small paper loss equal to the fee. This is exactly how it works on Polymarket.
- When you sell: the fee is taken out of your proceeds.
- At resolution: free. If you hold a winning position until the market resolves, you are paid out with no fee. Only closing early (selling before the market resolves) is charged.
Where you see fees
- Before you trade: the Est. fee line and its tooltip on the trade panel.
- After you trade: the fee you paid is shown on your positions, and your profit and loss is always shown after fees.
Slippage on large orders
For larger orders, the price you get is the average price across the order book, not just the best quote. On a deep market the difference is tiny. On a thin market, a big order can fill at a noticeably worse average price. If a market does not have enough depth to fill your order at all, the order is rejected. Try a smaller size or wait for more liquidity. PolyFundr never fills you against a stale or estimated price.Order minimums and increments
To match Polymarket’s order rules:- Minimum order size: orders below the market minimum (about $1) are rejected rather than quietly rounded up.
- Price increments: prices snap to the increments the market allows. Any small rounding is shown to you before you confirm.
