fomo fees, calculated
Every fee in fomo's published schedule, and a calculator that shows what your trade costs at your size, on your chain, with or without a code.
The fomo app charges 0.50% of each spot trade, or 0.45% if you signed up with a referral code. Small Solana trades pay fixed amounts instead: $0.10 under $5, 2% up to $47.50 and $0.95 up to $190 on the lowest-fee route, so a $100 buy costs $0.95 (0.95%). Selected major tokens pay 0.05%. Perps cost up to 0.05% plus Hyperliquid's fee, on the full position, at open and at close.
Fee calculator
Computed from fomo's published schedule. Pick spot or perps, enter a size, and the calculator shows fomo's fee for one trade and for a round trip (buy, then sell the same amount). It runs in your browser and sends nothing anywhere.
The spot fee schedule
fomo sets its fee by the network the token is on. Here is the whole schedule from its help centre, as read on November 10, 2026:
| Trade size | fomo fee | With a code |
|---|---|---|
| Solana, lowest-fee route | ||
| Under $5 | $0.10 | no change |
| $5 to $47.50 | 2% | no change |
| $47.50 to $190 | $0.95 | no change |
| $190 and up | 0.50% | 0.45% |
| Solana, other routes | ||
| Any size | 0.50%min $0.95 | 0.45%min $0.95 |
| Base, BNB Chain, Monad, Robinhood Chain, Ethereum, Arc and Elysium | ||
| Any size | 0.50%+ network fee | 0.45%+ network fee |
| Selected major tokens | ||
| Any size | 0.05%minimum on small trades, amount not published | no change |
A trade of exactly $5, $47.50 or $190 falls in the band that starts there; without a code the fee is the same either side of each boundary. Off Solana, the network fee is shown in your quote and paid by you. On Solana, fomo pays it.
"On the lowest-fee route the fee is 0.10 USDC on trades under 5 USDC, 2% from 5 to 47.50 USDC, 0.95 USDC from 47.50 to 190 USDC, and 0.50% from 190 USDC up. On the other routes the fee is 0.50% with a 0.95 USDC minimum. Which route is available changes from trade to trade, so the same size trade can carry a different fee at different moments."
"Users who sign up with a referral code receive a 10% discount on the standard trading fee, bringing the 0.50% rate to 0.45%. The discount applies to that percentage rate only: the 0.05% rate on lowered-fee tokens and the fixed amounts on small Solana trades stay the same."

What a "route" is. A Solana trade on fomo is filled through one of several paths to the market. fomo doesn't name them. It says only that the lowest-fee route has the size bands above, other routes charge 0.50% with a $0.95 minimum, and which one you get "changes from trade to trade". So the same $25 buy can cost $0.50 one minute and $0.95 the next. The app's quote shows which fee applies before you confirm. The second route appeared after September 18, 2026 and was in place by October 8 (change log).
The fee comes out of the amount you trade. Price impact, the pool's own fee and any token tax set by the token's creator are separate, and fomo shows them in the quote.
Why small trades cost more
Below $190 on Solana you don't pay a percentage at all. The lowest-fee route charges fixed amounts, so the smaller the trade, the bigger the bite. One buy on that route, computed from the schedule:
- $3 buy $0.10 · 3.33%
- $5 buy $0.10 · 2%
- $25 buy $0.50 · 2%
- $47.50 buy $0.95 · 2%
- $100 buy $0.95 · 0.95%
- $190 buy $0.95 · 0.50%
- $500 buy $2.50 · 0.50%
- $1,000 buy $5.00 · 0.50%
Orange bars pay more than the 0.50% headline rate. Computed from fomo's published schedule; one trade, no code.
The rate is highest on the smallest trades: the $0.10 fee is 5% of a $2 buy. From $5 to $47.50 it is a flat 2%, 4 times the headline rate. From $47.50 the fixed $0.95 falls from 2% of the trade to 0.50% at $190. On the other route it is harsher: the $0.95 minimum is 3.80% of a $25 trade and 19% of a $5 one. Selling pays the same again, so a round trip on $100 costs $1.90 (1.90%) even before price moves. The small-trades bench lays this out size by size.
What a referral code changes
Every valid fomo code does exactly one thing: the 0.50% rate becomes 0.45%, a 10% discount on that rate. It applies only if you entered the code before your first trade (how codes work).
A code lowers
- Solana trades of $190 and up: 0.50% to 0.45%, saving $0.50 on $1,000
- Solana's other routes above the $0.95 minimum: $0.05 on $200
- Every trade on 7 other chains: $0.05 on $100
A code does nothing on
- The fixed amounts on Solana trades under $190: nothing saved on $100
- The 0.05% rate on major tokens
- Network fees, price impact and token taxes
- Perps: fomo's perps article mentions no code discount
Where the schedule is silent. With a code, a lowest-route Solana trade of $190 pays 0.45%, which is $0.855. That is less than the $0.95 a $189.99 trade pays. fomo's text gives "0.50% from 190 USDC up" and says the discount applies to that rate. It does not say whether $0.95 also works as a minimum above $190. We compute what the published text says: 0.45%, so $0.855 at $190, rising to $0.95 at $211.11. If a $0.95 minimum does apply there, the code saves nothing until $211.11. Your quote in the app will show which.

"Other chains" = Base, BNB Chain, Monad, Robinhood Chain, Ethereum, Arc and Elysium, before the network fee, which you pay on top. The minimum sell in the app is 2 USDC on most networks and 5 USDC on Ethereum. Selected major tokens pay 0.05% ($0.50 on $1,000), plus a minimum on small trades whose amount fomo doesn't publish.
Perps fees
Perps (perpetual futures) let you bet on a price with borrowed money, through fomo's link to Hyperliquid, the exchange that runs the markets. fomo adds its own builder fee (a fee an app adds to orders it sends to Hyperliquid) on top of Hyperliquid's. Perps are not available to US persons, and leverage can wipe out the whole margin quickly.
- fomo: "up to 0.05% of the position size per trade". The calculator uses the full 0.05%.
- Hyperliquid: its own fee, from 0.045% for market orders and 0.015% for resting limit orders at the base tier, falling with volume. Stock, commodity, FX and pre-IPO markets can charge more. fomo's article says "some markets on Hyperliquid carry a higher rate than the base table".
- Both fees are charged on the full leveraged position, not your margin, and both are charged when you open and again when you close.
| Hyperliquid tier (14-day volume) | Market order, at most | Limit order, at most |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 0: Up to $5M | 0.095% | 0.065% |
| Tier 1: Over $5M | 0.090% | 0.062% |
| Tier 2: Over $25M | 0.085% | 0.058% |
| Tier 3: Over $100M | 0.080% | 0.054% |
| Tier 4: Over $500M | 0.078% | 0.050% |
| Tier 5: Over $2B | 0.076% | 0.050% |
| Tier 6: Over $7B | 0.074% | 0.050% |
fomo's maximum of 0.05% plus Hyperliquid's base rate for crypto perps, per trade, on the position size. Hyperliquid works out the tier from your fomo wallet's own 14-day volume. Staking discounts and Hyperliquid referral discounts are not included.
Example. $100 of margin at 10x is a $1,000 position. Opening it with a market order costs $0.50 to fomo plus $0.45 to Hyperliquid, $0.95 in all. Closing costs the same again, so the round trip is $1.90, or 1.90% of your margin. With resting limit orders on both sides it is $1.30. Funding payments, charged hourly while the position is open, come on top. The PnL fomo shows on a closed position includes funding but not these trading fees.
There is no fomo fee on transfers between your token and perps balances, or on a TWAP order (a large order split into slices over time). Hyperliquid's fee still applies to each slice. The minimum position is 15 USDC. The perps bench checks what fomo's builder actually collected.
What traders actually paid
The schedule is what fomo charges per trade. What traders paid overall is a measurement: fees collected divided by volume traded, from DefiLlama's public data. Over the 30 days to November 8, 2026 it was 0.63%, against the 0.50% headline. For October 2026 it was 0.60%. Small trades that pay the fixed fees are the likely reason it sits above 0.50%. Method and daily series: realized fee rate.
What these numbers leave out
- Network fees off Solana. You pay them, and they can be a large share of a small trade, especially on Ethereum. The app warns you when they are.
- Price impact and slippage. On a thinly traded token a large order can move the price far more than any fee.
- Token taxes. Some tokens charge their own fee on every buy or sell, set by the token's creator. The app shows it as a "Token tax" row.
- Deposits and withdrawals. Apple Pay, card, bank and crypto withdrawal fees are shown in the app before you pay. fomo publishes no figures for them.
- The "Trading rebate". fomo's release notes renamed Solana "cashback" to "Trading rebate" in October 2026 but publish no terms, so we leave it out.
Fees are rarely the biggest cost. Most small tokens lose most of their value, and leverage can wipe out a perps position quickly. Trade only what you can afford to lose.
fomo's Terms say it can change fees at any time and that the fee shown for your transaction overrides any help article. We re-read the schedule and log every change, with the date and evidence, on the fee change log. JomoBench is independent and not affiliated with fomo.
Questions people ask
What are the fees for fomo?
A spot trade costs 0.50% of its value (0.45% with a referral code). On Solana, trades under $190 pay fixed amounts on the lowest-fee route ($0.10, 2% or $0.95), and other routes have a $0.95 minimum. Off Solana you also pay the network fee. Selected major tokens pay 0.05%.
What percent does fomo take?
0.50% per trade on most trades, so $10.00 to buy and sell $1,000. Small Solana trades pay more as a percentage: 2% at $25 and 0.95% at $100. Traders as a whole paid 0.63% of volume over the 30 days to November 8, 2026, measured from DefiLlama.
Does fomo have high fees?
On trades of $190 and up it is 0.50% per trade, so 1% to buy and sell. Small trades are where it gets expensive: a $25 Solana buy pays 2% on the lowest-fee route and 3.80% on other routes, and you pay it again when you sell.
How much does fomo charge on perps?
fomo charges up to 0.05% of the position size per trade, and Hyperliquid adds its own fee (0.045% for market orders at its base tier). Both apply when you open and when you close, on the leveraged size: $1.90 round trip on a $1,000 position.
Does a fomo referral code lower fees?
Only on the 0.50% rate, which becomes 0.45%. It does nothing on the fixed amounts for Solana trades under $190 or on the 0.05% major-token rate, so on a $100 Solana buy it saves $0.00. Every valid code gives the same discount.
