How we calculate
Stated fees are the verified deposit fee plus the verified trading fee. A spread is added only where the exchange states one.
The order uses stated fees only: the deposit fee plus the trading fee, and the spread only where the exchange states one. An exchange with no deposit figure or no trading figure is not ranked and is listed apart with what is missing. An exchange that the data lists as restricted in your country is listed apart too. Exchanges with equal stated fees are named together.
A fee can have a percentage part and a fixed part. If an exchange states only one of them, the other is left out of the total, never counted as zero, and the row says which part is not stated. Such a row could cost more than shown.
