Terminal bill
The terminal fee is only part of the cost. Add the priority fee and tip, the pool or protocol fee and slippage. Add them up for one trade, or see what any wallet paid over 30 days.
What one trade costs
- Terminal fee
- Gas, priority fee and tip
- LP / protocol fee
- Slippage and price impact
Terminal fee, LP fee and slippage are a percent of each side; gas, priority fee and tip are a fixed SOL amount per transaction. Cashback, rakeback and referral discounts are not deducted. A sandwich is an extra, hidden cost on top of slippage.
pump.fun: 1 SOL in and out
You buy a token for 1 SOL and sell all of it straight back at the same price. This is what the fees alone take, before network costs and slippage. Since 17 Oct 2026 the pump.fun app (web and mobile) adds 0.45% to each side, 0.40% with a referral code.
| Where and through what | Per side | Back | Cost | Break-even |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bonding curve, pump.fun appprotocol 1.25% + app 0.45% | 1.70% | 0.9663 SOL | 0.0337 SOL3.37% | +3.49% |
| Bonding curve, app with a referral codeprotocol 1.25% + app 0.40% | 1.65% | 0.9673 SOL | 0.0327 SOL3.27% | +3.38% |
| Bonding curve, Terminal (Standard account)protocol 1.25%, no app fee | 1.25% | 0.9752 SOL | 0.0248 SOL2.48% | +2.55% |
| PumpSwap at the lowest rate, appprotocol 0.30% + app 0.45% | 0.75% | 0.9851 SOL | 0.0149 SOL1.49% | +1.52% |
The sell fee is charged on what is left after the buy, so the cost is slightly less than twice the rate. Terminal on a Standard account adds no fee of its own; other front ends have their own rates, compare them in the calculator above.
- EVM chains, Robinhood Chain included
- pump.fun charges a further 0.10%–0.15% of each trade's value, on top of the app fee and third-party bridge and swap fees. The platform pays the gas on these trades.
- Perps through Hyperliquid
- A builder fee of up to 0.10% of each order's notional, and up to 0.25% on each transfer to and from Hyperliquid. The 0.45% app fee does not apply, but Hyperliquid charges its own fees (0.045% taker at the base tier), funding and a one-time account activation fee. Example: $100 margin at 10x, opened and closed with market orders: $2 builder fee, $0.90 to Hyperliquid and $0.50 for the bridge, $3.40 in total, or 3.4% of the margin before funding.
At 10x a price move of under 10% against you can liquidate the whole margin. pump.fun allows BTC up to 40x and ETH up to 25x; at 40x a move under 2.5% is enough.
A wallet's 30-day bill
Paste a public Solana address. From on-chain data we add up what the wallet paid around its swaps: gas, priority fees, Jito tips and SOL sent to other addresses, which is usually where terminals and bots take their fee.
How we count
- Terminal fee
- A percent of each side of the trade, from the operator's official docs. Without a published rate we show no number.
- Priority fee and tip
- A fixed SOL amount per transaction, whatever the size. On small trades it can cost more than the fee. Bitquery found Axiom's hidden priority tip cost the median buyer about 3.7% of the trade.
- LP fee
- The pool or protocol fee, taken inside the swap. On the pump.fun bonding curve it is 1.25% (0.30% of it to the creator), on PumpSwap 0.30–1.25%.
- Slippage
- The gap between the quoted and the filled price. It grows with size and shrinks with liquidity. A wide tolerance invites sandwich bots. Check your swaps in the Sandwich audit.
- Wallet bill
- From transactions the wallet signed: base fee (5,000 lamports per signature), the rest of the fee as priority fee, transfers to the eight public Jito tip accounts and SOL sent to other addresses in the same transaction. Fees taken in wrapped SOL or by a program are not visible.
