Which Polymarket fee schedule do you need?
For a US dollar account use the US document effective October 19, 2026. Do not import international category rates, maker terms or funding instructions into it. The following examples isolate execution rather than total account cost.
| Example | US standard taker | International context |
|---|---|---|
| 100 × 50¢ | 0.0695 × 100 × 0.5 × 0.5 = $1.7375; $1.74 half-even | Use category’s own coefficient, not 0.0695 |
| 100 × 10¢ | $0.6255 raw; $0.63 half-even | Category and market exceptions apply |
| 100 × 90¢ | $0.6255 raw; $0.63 half-even | Symmetry does not imply identical collection |

US fees effective October 19, 2026
The US schedule states an exchange-wide effective time of 1 PM Eastern on October 19. Standard taker fee = 0.0695 × contracts × price × (1 − price). Table Tennis uses 0.10; combo orders use their own schedule. Fees are rounded to the nearest cent with half-to-even (“banker’s”) rounding.
A 100-contract standard taker fill at $0.50 has raw fee $1.7375 and collected fee $1.74. At 100 contracts and $0.40 the raw charge is $1.668, rounded to $1.67. Maker Tier 1 receives no rebate. Higher maker tiers and separately calculated taker rebate tiers depend on qualifying prior-month volume; the latter pay weekly.

International fees are different
The international document uses shares × feeRate × price × (1 − price). Listed category coefficients include crypto 0.07, sports 0.05 and finance/politics 0.04; geopolitical/world-event markets are described as fee-free. Its makers pay no execution fee under that document. Combos have a separate coefficient.
International fees round to five decimal places, with a 0.00001 USDC minimum and smaller values rounding to zero. Those rules and maker incentives must not be imported into a US quote. The international text reviewed did not specify a schedule effective date.

The midpoint examples show why identity matters
At 100 contracts/shares and $0.50, all scenarios have $50 entry notional but different charges. The fee is not the same percentage of entry notional at every contract price; the quadratic is symmetric around $0.50.
| Product and schedule | Raw charge |
|---|---|
| US standard taker, 0.0695 | $1.7375; collected $1.74 |
| US Table Tennis, 0.10 | $2.50 |
| International sports, 0.05 | 1.25 USDC |
| International crypto, 0.07 | 1.75 USDC |

Execution is only part of the outlay
US withdrawals require cleared funds and return to the original funding source. The international fee document distinguishes Polymarket funding fees from third-party intermediary costs. A market fee therefore does not answer the cost or timing of getting money onto and off either product.
For a standard US example with $50 stake and $1.74 entry fee, a winning $100 payout leaves $48.26 before other costs; a losing settlement loses $51.74. An exit trade changes both proceeds and applicable fees. No international trading alternative is offered to US readers.
