# Trading Fees

> Overview of Polymarket US trading fees and how they apply

Polymarket US keeps trading fees **extremely low**. Fees apply differently depending on whether your order **executes immediately** or **posts to the book**.

* **Takers** pay a **0.01 percent fee** (1 basis point) for trades that execute immediately
* **Makers** pay **no fees** when their order does not fill immediately

<Note>
  An order fills when it executes against an existing order in the book.
</Note>

## Understanding Takers and Makers

* **Takers** remove liquidity. Their orders execute immediately.\
  *Example*: You submit a buy order at 50¢ that fills right away.
* **Makers** add liquidity. Their orders post to the order book and do not fill immediately.\
  *Example*: You submit a buy order at 50¢ that sits on the book until someone matches it.

<Note>
  Liquidity refers to the resting buy and sell orders available in the order book. More liquidity generally means tighter prices and lower price impact.
