What a small fomo trade costs
fomo's listed 0.50% only applies from $190 up on its cheapest Solana route. Below that you pay a fixed amount, and a referral code does nothing.
From fomo's published schedule, one Solana buy on the lowest-fee route costs $0.10 at $3 (3.33%), $0.50 at $25 (2%), $0.95 at $100 (0.95%) and $5.00 at $1,000 (0.50%). A referral code only changes percentage-priced trades: on that route nothing below $190, and $0.50 on a $1,000 buy.
The fee as a share of the trade
One buy on Solana's lowest-fee route, fomo's fee only. The dashed line is the 0.50% listed rate.

- $1,000 buy0.50% from $190 up $5.00 · 0.50%
Dashed line: 0.50%
The smallest trade pays the most as a share: the flat $0.10 is 3.33% of a $3 trade. From $5 to $47.50 the fee is 2% ($0.50 on $25). Between $47.50 and $190 a flat $0.95 falls from about 2% to 0.50% as the trade grows (1.90% at $50, 0.95% at $100). Only from $190 does the fee become the 0.50% people quote.
Every size, every route
fomo says which Solana route is available "changes from trade to trade", so the same size can pay either Solana column at different moments. The app shows the fee before you confirm.
| One trade | Solana, lowest-fee route | Solana, other routes | Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum and other EVM chains |
|---|---|---|---|
| $3 | $0.103.33% | $0.9531.7% | $0.010.50% + network fee |

fomo's fee for one buy or one sell, no referral code. A buy and a sell of the same size cost twice this. Selected major tokens are 0.05%, with a minimum on small trades that fomo does not publish, so they are left out.
What a referral code saves
Every valid fomo code does the same thing: 0.50% becomes 0.45%. It applies only where the fee is that percentage.
| One trade | Solana lowest-fee, no code | With a code | Saved | Other chains, saved |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $3 | $0.10 | $0.10 | $0 | $0.00 |
| $5 | $0.10 | $0.10 | $0 | $0.00 |
| $25 | $0.50 | $0.50 | $0 | $0.01 |
| $50 | $0.95 | $0.95 | $0 | $0.03 |
| $100 | $0.95 | $0.95 | $0 | $0.05 |
| $190 | $0.95 | $0.85 | $0.10 | $0.10 |
| $500 | $2.50 | $2.25 | $0.25 | $0.25 |
| $1,000 | $5.00 | $4.50 | $0.50 | $0.50 |
On other chains the code applies at every size because the fee is always a percentage there; the network fee is unchanged.
So on fomo's cheapest Solana route a code is worth nothing on the trades that cost the most as a percentage. Pages promising 50%, 95% or 100% off are not describing fomo's discount: how fomo codes really work.
How this shows up in what traders paid
Across all fomo spot trades, the measured average over the 30 days to November 8, 2026 was 0.63%, above the listed 0.50%. That is what you would expect if many trades fall under these floors. The realized fee bench shows the evidence and its limits.
Method
- Every number on this page is computed by JomoBench's fee engine from fomo's help-centre article "Trading fees on fomo" (read 2026-11-10). It is schedule arithmetic, not a measurement of real trades.
- The schedule is applied to one trade at each size. A round trip (a buy, then a sell of the same size) is two trades and pays the fee twice.
- Minimum trade sizes: fomo says the minimum sell is 2 USDC on most networks and 5 USDC on Ethereum.
Caveats
- fomo's fee only. Pool fees, price impact, token taxes set by a token's creators and, outside Solana, network fees come on top.
- fomo can change its fees at any time, and its terms say the fee shown in the app overrides any example. We re-read the schedule regularly; the date is above.
- We do not know how often each Solana route is offered; fomo does not publish it.
Questions people ask
What is the fee on a small fomo trade?
On Solana's lowest-fee route: $0.10 under $5, 2% from $5 to $47.50, a flat $0.95 from $47.50 to $190, and 0.50% from $190 up. So a $25 buy costs $0.50 and a $100 buy $0.95 (0.95%). On other Solana routes the minimum is $0.95. Source: fomo help centre.
Is it cheaper to trade on Base or BNB Chain than Solana?
For fomo's own fee on small trades, often yes: other chains charge a flat 0.50% with no minimum, so a $25 buy is $0.13 against $0.50 on Solana's lowest-fee route. But you pay the network fee on those chains, which fomo covers on Solana, and it can be more than the difference.
Does a fomo referral code help on small trades?
No. Every valid code turns 0.50% into 0.45% and does nothing to the fixed small-trade amounts or the 0.05% major-token rate. On Solana's lowest-fee route it saves $0 on every trade under $190.
