Coinbase US fees: simple purchases, Advanced and sending XRP

On Coinbase the price of XRP depends on the screen you use. A simple purchase carries a Coinbase fee and a spread that appear in the order preview; Coinbase publishes no fixed rate, and its California disclosure caps the fee at 6% of an order. Coinbase Advanced charges a published percentage on the order book: 0.60% maker and 1.20% taker at the entry tier. Buying $500 of XRP there and selling it again cost $12.04 on October 15, 2026. The calculator below uses the Advanced rates, because they are the published ones.

Unpriced costs are excluded from this sum. It is not an all-in execution quote or a guarantee of the final cost.

Purchase trading charges only: eToro standard US commission and Kraken Pro entry-tier taker example. Coinbase needs a current quote. Execution prices, funding, sale and transfer costs are excluded; this does not establish the cheapest complete purchase.

03

Check costs before acting.

  1. 1.20%

    Use Advanced for larger amounts

    The taker rate is a published percentage of the order. On $500 it comes to $6.00 per leg, far below the fee cap of the simple screen.

  2. 0.60%

    Place a limit order

    A limit order that waits on the book pays the maker rate, half the taker rate at the entry tier.

  3. hold

    Fund by ACH if you can wait

    A debit card lets you send at once but costs more in the preview. ACH money is ready to trade right away and ready to send after the hold.

04

Conditions beyond the headline fee.

  • up to 6%

    The simple price is set in the preview

    A simple purchase includes a Coinbase fee and a spread that change with the amount, the payment method and the market. The California disclosure caps the fee at 6% of an order over $200; read the total and the XRP amount before you confirm.

  • 2 legs

    Selling costs the same again

    Coinbase charges a sale the same way as a purchase: fee and spread on the simple screen, the maker or taker rate on Advanced. Our $500 example therefore adds both legs.

  • hold

    ACH money can wait before it leaves

    XRP bought with ACH money that is still on hold can be traded at once, but sent to another wallet only after the hold ends. Coinbase emails the date; holds usually end at 11:59 PM Pacific time, and support cannot shorten them.
