How much fee rebate can you actually earn? The formula is simple: rebate = fees × rebate rate, and fees = volume × fee rate. At a perp taker rate of 0.05%, 1,000,000 USDT of monthly volume produces about 500 USDT in fees; via Quant Nova you can get back up to Gate 350, WEEX 350, MEXC 300, Bitget 250, Binance 200, Bybit 200, and OKX 100 USDT (OKX public 20%, extra via support). Here's the math by volume.
How is rebate calculated?
Two steps:
- Fees = volume × fee rate. Perp taker is ~0.05%, so every 1,000,000 USDT traded costs about 500 USDT in fees.
- Rebate = fees × rebate rate. The rate depends on the exchange and your tier — up to Gate 70%, WEEX 70%, MEXC 60%, Bitget 50%, Binance 40%, Bybit 40%, OKX 20% (extra via support).
Rebate by monthly volume
At perp taker 0.05% and each exchange's top tier, you get back per month:
10,000 USDT/month volume (~50 USDT fees)
- Gate 70%: 35/month
- WEEX 70%: 35/month
- MEXC 60%: 30/month
- Bitget 50%: 25/month
- Binance 40%: 20/month
- Bybit 40%: 20/month
- OKX 20%: 10/month (extra via support)
1,000,000 USDT/month volume (~500 USDT fees)
- Gate 70%: 350/month, ~4,200/year
- WEEX 70%: 350/month, ~4,200/year
- MEXC 60%: 300/month, ~3,600/year
- Bitget 50%: 250/month, ~3,000/year
- Binance 40%: 200/month, ~2,400/year
- Bybit 40%: 200/month, ~2,400/year
- OKX 20%: 100/month (extra via support)
5,000,000 USDT/month volume (~2,500 USDT fees)
- Gate 70%: 1,750/month, ~21,000/year
- WEEX 70%: 1,750/month, ~21,000/year
- MEXC 60%: 1,500/month, ~18,000/year
- Bitget 50%: 1,250/month
- Binance 40%: 1,000/month
- Bybit 40%: 1,000/month
Bound vs not — how big is the gap?
Same 500 USDT monthly fees (1M monthly volume):
- No referral code: 0 rebate.
- Exchange default 20% only: 100/month.
- Bound via Quant Nova (e.g. Gate 70%): 350/month — 250 more than the 20%-only case, about 3,000 USDT more per year.
How to start earning
Register with a referral code, bind your UID on the rebate platform (Quant Nova), and once your trading generates fees it's auto-approved — then check and withdraw daily. For a cross-exchange comparison, see the 2026 rebate ranking; for why it can exceed 20%, see this article.

FAQ
How is rebate calculated?
Rebate = fees × rebate rate, and fees = volume × fee rate (perp taker ~0.05%). E.g. 1M USDT monthly volume ≈ 500 USDT fees, and Gate 70% returns 350 USDT.
Is rebate settled monthly?
Quant Nova settles daily — you can check your accruing balance and withdraw in USDT anytime. The "per month" figures above are the daily accruals summed.
What is the 0.05% used here?
It's a reference perp taker rate (VIP0). Actual fees vary by exchange, VIP level and token discounts; spot and maker rates are usually lower.
Does the rebate rate rise with volume?
Yes. Your tier is set by trailing-30-day fees (XP) — more trading means a higher tier and a higher rebate rate. See how tiers and XP are calculated.
Why is OKX counted at only 20%?
OKX policy only permits advertising up to 20%, so the math uses 20%; for the extra beyond 20%, contact support.
