# Fees & Save on Fees

> What you pay, why it's less than trading directly, and how the savings are shared.

## The standard rates

HyperFlow's standard perps fees match Hyperliquid's base retail rates:

| Role  | Standard fee |
| ----- | ------------ |
| Taker | 0.045%       |
| Maker | 0.015%       |

Fees are charged on notional value in USDC at execution. There is **no gas** on any perps action. A **Post Only** order can only fill as a maker, so it always pays the maker rate.

> **Tip**

> The standard rate is a **ceiling, not what you typically pay**. In practice your effective rate is lower on most fills — here's why.

## How "Save on Fees" works

Hyperliquid discounts fees per account based on rolling 14-day volume tiers and staked HYPE. HyperFlow routes all users' orders through one master account that:

1. **Aggregates everyone's volume**, qualifying for VIP volume tiers, and
2. **Stakes HYPE at the platform level**, adding staking discounts on top.

The venue therefore charges HyperFlow's account far less than the standard retail rate, and on every fill the difference between the standard fee and what the venue actually charged is rebated to you:

```
your fee = standard fee − trader share × (standard fee − venue fee actually paid)
```

**The trader share is currently 100%** — the entire saving goes to you, so your fee is exactly what the venue charged on your fill. The live value is published as `trader_share` on [`GET /config`](/developers/perps-api/funds#funding-configuration) and is always reflected in the rate the app shows you.

**Example:** on a \$10,000 taker order the standard fee is \$4.50 (0.045%). If the master account's venue taker rate is 0.030%, at today's 100% share you pay 0.030% — **\$3.00**, a \$1.50 saving on that single fill. Your actual effective rate is shown before every trade.

* Your effective rate — and the percentage saved — is displayed in the trade panel **before you place the order**, and the exact fee appears in your trade history.
* Your fee is never below the venue's actual cost, and never above the standard rate.
* No token, no staking, and no volume commitment is required on your side. The discount applies from your first trade.

## Watch the savings live

The **Save on Fees** page in the app shows the platform's current standing in real time:

* HYPE staked by the protocol
* Pooled 14-day trading volume
* The current effective taker/maker rates
* A **savings simulator** — enter your monthly volume and see what you'd save versus trading on Hyperliquid directly
* The full Hyperliquid volume-tier and staking-discount schedules

As total platform volume grows, the master account climbs tiers and **everyone's effective rate improves** — the flywheel at the core of HyperFlow's design.
