# Trading Fees on FrenFlow

> FrenFlow trading fee structure explained. How fees are calculated, when they apply, and fee-free scenarios.

## <span style={{color: "#baf820"}}>How Fees Work</span>

FrenFlow charges a small platform fee on each [trade](/trading/placing-trades). The fee is deducted from your trade amount **before** execution, so what you enter is always what you pay.

```
You enter:     $100
Platform fee:  $1.00 (1%)
Actual trade:  $99.00
```

|                      | Detail                                   |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **Standard fee**     | 1% per trade                             |
| **Deducted from**    | Your input amount (not added on top)     |
| **When charged**     | On order fill (not on placement)         |
| **Limit orders**     | Fee charged only if/when the order fills |
| **Cancelled orders** | No fee                                   |

## <span style={{color: "#baf820"}}>Fee Protection</span>

FrenFlow has built-in safeguards to ensure fair fee handling:

* **Minimum trade preserved** — If your trade is close to the \$1 minimum and the fee would push the net amount below \$1, the fee is automatically reduced to keep the trade valid.
* **Server-enforced** — Fees are always calculated on the backend. The rate shown in the UI is an estimate; the actual fee is determined server-side at execution time.

In addition to the FrenFlow platform fee, the underlying exchange may charge its own fees:

    Polymarket charges a **taker fee** on filled orders. This is separate from the FrenFlow fee and is built into the execution price.

    DFlow trades on Solana may include small network fees (fractions of a cent) for on-chain settlement.

<Note>
  FrenFlow shows all fees transparently in the trade confirmation. You always know the total cost before confirming. Platform fees help cover the infrastructure, servers, APIs, and services that keep FrenFlow running smoothly for you.
