# Fees

When you trade on Based, your total fee is made up of two parts:

1. **Hyperliquid trading fee** — set by Hyperliquid based on your volume tier and staking level
2. **Based builder fee** — a small fee added by Based on top of the Hyperliquid fee

Your **total fee = Hyperliquid trading fee + Based builder fee**.

Majority of builder fees (up to 76%) are redistributed as affiliate rewards to our community. See our [Affiliate Program](/docs/based/affiliate-program.md) for details.

## Hyperliquid Trading Fees

Trading fees are based on your rolling 14-day volume and are assessed at the end of each day in UTC. Sub-account volume counts toward the master account and all sub-accounts share the same fee tier. Vault volume is treated separately from the master account. Referral rewards apply for a user's first $1B in volume and referral discounts apply for a user's first $25M in volume.

Maker rebates are paid out continuously on each trade directly to the trading wallet. Users can claim referral rewards from the Referrals page.

There are separate fee schedules for perps vs spot. Perps and spot volume will be counted together to determine your fee tier, and spot volume will count double toward your fee tier. i.e., `(14d weighted volume) = (14d perps volume) + 2 * (14d spot volume)`
