Frequently Asked Questions
Funding rates are periodic payments between long and short traders in perpetual futures markets that help keep the contract price close to the spot price. They ensure the perpetual contract price doesn't deviate too far from the underlying asset's spot price. For a complete beginner's guide to funding rates, read our detailed explanation.
Most exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and OKX charge funding fees every 8 hours (3 times daily) at 00:00, 08:00, and 16:00 UTC. However, some exchanges may have different schedules, so always check your specific exchange's funding rate page.
Long positions pay funding when rates are positive and receive when negative. Short positions pay funding when rates are negative and receive when positive. The calculator automatically determines this based on your position side and the funding rate direction.
Funding Rate = Premium Index + clamp(Interest Rate - Premium Index, 0.05%, -0.05%). The Premium Index represents the difference between the mark price and spot price, while the Interest Rate is usually fixed. Exchanges use this formula to balance the market. Want the full breakdown? See our detailed guide on Binance, Bybit and OKX formulas.
Notional value is your total position size after applying leverage. It's calculated as Position Value × Leverage. This is the actual amount your funding payment is based on, not just your initial capital.
Yes, funding rates can be negative. When rates are negative, long positions receive funding from short positions. This typically happens when the perpetual contract is trading below the spot price, indicating bearish sentiment.
Leverage multiplies your funding payments proportionally. A 10x leverage means you'll pay or receive 10 times more funding compared to an unleveraged position of the same notional value. Higher leverage increases both potential profits and funding costs.
Yes, the calculation method is standard across major exchanges including Binance, Bybit, OKX, and others. However, always verify with your specific exchange as some may have minor variations in calculation timing or fee structures.
