Frequently Asked Questions
Funding is paid 3 times a day (every 8h). Daily rate = rate × 3, and APR = rate × 3 × 365. Example: 0.01% per 8h = 0.03% daily ≈ 10.95% per year.
When the rate is positive, longs pay shorts, so the APR is a cost for longs and a yield for shorts — reversed when negative.
A tiny per-8h rate compounds into a big annual number. +0.05% per 8h ≈ 54.75% per year — a huge cost for holding a long-term position.
This tool shows the annualized rate (APR); the funding cost calculator computes the actual amount paid on a specific position over a set number of hours.
