Polymarket US bot fees and rebates: October 2026 update

Start with the venue and market. This guide covers Polymarket US. The International fee calculator uses a separate category-based model and does not calculate US charges.

Standard US trades

The official US schedule, reviewed October 7, 2026, lists these coefficients for standard trades:

Fee = Θ × contracts × price × (1 − price)
ComponentCoefficient
Standard taker fee0.0695
Standard maker rebate−0.0125

For a single standard taker fill of 1,000 contracts at $0.50, the exact fee is $17.375, rounded to $17.38. The schedule specifies cent rounding with ties to even. Multiple-fill adjustments can affect the final charge.

October 7 product exceptions

The official notice removes combo maker rebates and sets the Table Tennis taker coefficient to 0.10 from 12:00 AM Eastern on October 7. Combos also use a separate taker curve. Some examples below that notice still show the prior combo maker rebate; verify the applicable schedule and execution report instead of copying those examples.

US and International incentives differ

US taker rebate tiers use prior-calendar-month taker volume. Do not substitute the International calculator’s rolling weighted-volume model. See the US fee schedule and International fee documentation.

Before putting the model into a bot

  1. Confirm the venue and account path.
  2. Check the market-specific schedule, liquidity role and execution report.
  3. Account separately for spread, slippage and any application charges.
  4. Test the calculation and risk controls before relying on it.
