Funding Rate Arbitrage Calculator
Use this funding rate calculator to determine potential profits before entering an arbitrage position. Simply input your position size, the funding rates on each exchange, and the expected duration.
Key Inputs
- Position Size: Total capital allocated per side
- Exchange A Funding Rate: The rate on your long exchange
- Exchange B Funding Rate: The rate on your short exchange
- Trading Fees: Maker/taker fees per exchange
- Duration: Expected holding period in days
Example Calculation
Scenario: $10,000 position, Binance funding 0.12%, Kraken funding -0.05%
Gross Spread: 0.12% – (-0.05%) = 0.17% per period
Per Period Profit: $10,000 × 0.17% = $17
Daily Profit (3 periods): $51
Monthly Profit: $1,530 (15.3% monthly return)
Fee Considerations
Always subtract fees from your profit calculation:
Per side: 0.04% taker fee × 2 sides = 0.08% total fees
Net spread: 0.17% – 0.08% = 0.09% per period
