Perpetual futures fees | Robinhood

Perpetual futures fees

When managing, opening, and closing positions, you may incur fees. These include:

  • Opening and closing fees: There are partner venue maker/taker fees and Robinhood fees associated with opening and closing positions. These are shown as estimated until settlement completes.
  • Liquidation fees: If your position is partially or fully liquidated due to insufficient margin, the partner venue charges 5 basis points (0.05%) of the total notional liquidated. Robinhood does not capture this fee.
  • Funding rate fees: Positions will incur funding rate payments or receive funding payments every 8 hours. These are fees paid between long and short positions to help keep the perpetual contract price close to the spot price.
Note

During the launch/promotional period, there will be no maker/taker fees until 31 October 2025.
