Personal accounts pay zero fees on [recurring purchases](/support/how-do-i-schedule-recurring-purchases) after the first week (for a weekly or monthly DCA, the waiver applies from the second purchase).:region-only[ Also, there are no fees for [getting your paycheck via direct deposit](/support/how-do-i-set-up-direct-deposit) and converting up to $20,000 per month into bitcoin.]{in="us"}

On all other transactions, the fee is tiered:



| Monthly level | Fee |
| --- | --- |
| ≤£49,999.99 | 0.89% |
| £50,000 – £499,999.99 | 0.79% |
| £500,000 – £4,999,999.99 | 0.69% |
| £5,000,000 – £14,999,999.99 | 0.59% |
| ≥£15,000,000 | 0.49% |


You can track your current level by visiting the “bitcoin” tab in the [mobile app](https://links.strike.me/live-app) and tapping your <NumberUpIcon /> “Traded volume”.

## How trading fees work

Your monthly fee level is determined by your trade volume in pounds, not by the number of trades you make. The following transaction types count:



- One-time buys and sells
- Recurring purchases (DCA)
- Target orders
- Receive cash as bitcoin
- The trading fees themselves


The cumulative volume that determines a trade’s fee already includes the trade itself. This way, a single trade can be large enough to land in a better tier on its own, and when it reaches or crosses a threshold, **the lower rate applies to the entire trade, not just the portion above it**.

You start each month at the tier where you ended last month, so **progress isn’t lost: you keep progressing toward the next tier rather than starting from scratch**. You reset to the first tier after a calendar month with no trades.

For example, a single £50,000 buy in January would qualify for the £50,000 – £499,999.99 tier at 0.79%, costing you £395. Five separate £10,000 buys would run trades 1–4 at 0.89% (4 × £89 = £356) and the 5th at the next tier’s 0.79% (£79), for a total of £435. Either way, you’d end January at 0.79%, so February starts there: another £450,000 in volume would bring you to 0.69%. If you made no trades in February, you’d restart at the first tier in March.

Strike’s fee structure uses volume-based pricing. Instead of looking at each trade in isolation, **all trades from the current and previous months count**. From the second tier onward, you pay less than you would under a per-trade model.

For example, if you traded a total of £50,000 last month, your first £100 trade this month would cost 0.79%, not 0.89%.
