Rate basis

Two fee tables disagree on the same column name

A column with the same label can point at different things on two sites; read the header row first, then decide whether the numbers are comparable.

Short answer

When two fee tables disagree under the same column name, the header row is usually labelling different columns with one word, so read the header before comparing any numbers.

Key points

  • Read the header row first

    Open the fee page and read the top row before hunting for numbers, then check what each column below it is actually listing.

  • Split a shared label apart

    If both sites say trading fee, look underneath: one may split it into maker and taker, the other may give a single flat row, so the two columns are not the same thing.

  • Check for a tier column

    Some tables put the tier in the leftmost column, others in a line of small text below the table; when tables disagree, confirm which tier row you are reading.

  • Line up row names before comparing

    Copy the row names from both tables into one list and match them line by line; only compare the rows that line up, and treat the rest as different items.

Common questions

Why do two sites show very different numbers under the same column name?

Check the header row first to see whether the same word is labelling different columns, then check for a tier column; the same name does not mean the same basis.

How can I tell whether I am reading the same column on both sites?

Copy the header text from both tables side by side and compare word by word, then check whether the column splits into maker and taker; only matching splits count as the same column.
