How Cashback Is Calculated

A clear breakdown of how Trade Reclaim calculates your crypto fee cashback, with a worked example showing volume, fee rate, and cashback percentage.

Your cashback is calculated from the trading fees you actually pay: roughly monthly volume x your average fee rate x the exchange cashback %. You receive a percentage of your OWN paid fees back as USDT, so it works much like a fee discount.

The calculation in plain terms

Every time you trade, the exchange charges you a fee. The exchange pays Trade Reclaim an affiliate commission based on that fee, and Trade Reclaim returns 30-50% of it to you as crypto fee cashback. The percentage is sized against the fees YOU paid, not against what Trade Reclaim earns and not as a cut of some shared pool.

So the formula is straightforward:

Trading volume over a period (the notional value of your trades)
x your average fee rate (your maker/taker rate at the exchange)
= the fees you paid
x the exchange cashback % (30%, 35%, or 50% depending on the exchange)
= your cashback

A worked example

Say you trade $1,000,000 in futures volume on Bybit in a month at a 0.055% taker fee:

Fees paid: $1,000,000 x 0.00055 = $550
Bybit cashback rate: 30%
Your cashback: $550 x 0.30 = $165 USDT

On an exchange with a higher rate the math is the same with a bigger multiplier. The same $550 in fees would return $192.50 at 35% (Bitunix, LeveX) or $275 at 50% (BitMart futures).

It applies to all trading pairs

The cashback calculation works across all trading pairs and contract types you trade through a linked, supported exchange account. Native-token fee discounts (like BNB, MX, or BGB) stack on top: they lower the fee you pay at the exchange, and your cashback is then calculated on whatever fee remains.

Note: BitMart cashback applies to futures only, not spot. For inverse / coin-margined contracts (e.g. BTCUSD), cashback may be paid in BTC or ETH rather than USDT.

From fees to your balance

Cashback accrues from your next trade after your UID is verified, credited per trade within 48 hours. It builds up as your Current Balance in the dashboard. Once you reach the 20 USDT minimum, you can request a payout on demand.

FAQ

Is cashback a discount on my trading fee?

Not technically, but it has the same effect. You pay the full fee to the exchange, then Trade Reclaim rebates 30-50% of it back to you, which lowers your net trading cost.

Is the percentage based on what Trade Reclaim earns?

No. The percentage is applied to the fees YOU paid, not to Trade Reclaim's commission. A 30% rate means roughly 30% of your own paid fees comes back to you.

Does it cover every pair I trade?

Yes, the calculation applies to all trading pairs on a linked supported exchange, with the one exception that BitMart cashback is futures-only.
