Polymarket Taker Rebate Calculator
How taker rebates work
Polymarket rewards takers with a tiered loyalty rebate. Your trailing 30-day weighted volume sets your tier, and the tier rate — 3% at Bronze up to 50% at Obsidian — is the share of your taker fees paid back, daily in pUSD. Weighted volume favours harder-to-price markets (Crypto ×2.3 down to Sports ×1.0; Geopolitics is fee-free and earns none).
Polymarket publishes the tiers, the weighted-volume formula, and the "portion of fees back" framing, but not an explicit payout formula — so the rebate figure is an estimate (tier % of the taker fee). The taker fee, weighted volume, and tier are exact — the live breakdown in the result shows each one with your numbers.

Frequently asked
How do Polymarket taker rebates work?
It is a tiered loyalty programme. Your trailing 30-day weighted volume sets your tier, and the tier rate — from 3% (Bronze) up to 50% (Obsidian) — is the share of your taker fees paid back to you, settled daily in pUSD. Polymarket docs
How is my tier decided?
By your 30-day weighted volume (wV), where wV = trade size × (1 − entry price) × category weight, summed over your taker trades. Category weights reward harder-to-price markets: Crypto ×2.3, Economics/Culture/Weather/Other ×1.7, Politics/Finance/Tech ×1.3, Sports ×1.0; Geopolitics is fee-free and earns no wV. Tiers: Bronze $2k, Silver $20k, Gold $200k, Platinum $1M, Diamond $4M, Obsidian $10M+.
How much do I actually earn back?
The rebate estimates tier rate × taker fee, where taker fee = shares × fee rate × price × (1 − price). Example: 1,000 shares at 50¢ in Crypto → fee = 1000 × 0.07 × 0.5 × 0.5 = $17.50 → at Gold (18%) ≈ $3.15. Polymarket does not publish the exact payout formula, so treat the rebate figure as an estimate; the taker fee, weighted volume, and tier are exact.
Which markets climb the tiers fastest?
Weighted volume favours higher-weight categories: Crypto (×2.3) builds tier fastest per dollar traded, then Economics/Culture/Weather/Other (×1.7), then Politics/Finance/Tech (×1.3), then Sports (×1.0). Geopolitics markets are fee-free and contribute zero weighted volume. Note that wV also scales with (1 − entry price), so cheaper entries earn more wV per dollar.
