How exchange fees are calculated

Basis points, platform fee disclosure, and how to read the fee line in a Vargos Instant quote.

Basis points (bps)

One basis point is 0.01%. Forty bps equals 0.40%. Platform fees on Vargos are configured in integer bps within published limits and shown in the quote before you create an exchange.

What you see in Swap

The summary lists platform fee, rate, waiting time, and expected receive amount for the current quote. You never set the fee from the browser — the live configuration is applied server-side and disclosed in the UI.

Other costs

Network miner fees and market spread are separate from the platform fee. Always send the exact deposit amount shown after create. See the Fees page for the live default platform fee.
