# Maker Rebates Program
> Earn daily USDC rebates by providing liquidity on Polymarket
Polymarket charges taker fees across multiple market categories. Fees are determined by the protocol at match time and fund a **Maker Rebates** program that pays daily USDC rebates to liquidity providers.
***
## Why Maker Rebates
Deeper liquidity means tighter spreads, lower price impact, more reliable fills, and greater resilience during volatility. Maker Rebates incentivize **consistent, competitive quoting** so everyone gets a better trading experience.
***
## How Maker Rebates Work
* **Paid daily in USDC:** Rebates are calculated and distributed every day.
* **Performance-based:** You earn based on the share of liquidity you provided that actually got taken.
### Eligibility
Place orders that add liquidity to the book and get filled (i.e., your liquidity is taken by another trader).
### Payment
Rebates are paid daily in USDC, directly to your wallet. A minimum accrued rebate of **\$1 USDC** is required for a payout.
***
## Funding
Maker Rebates are funded by taker fees collected in eligible markets. A percentage of these fees are redistributed to makers who keep the markets liquid. The rebate percentage differs by market type.
Polymarket collects taker fees in eligible markets across all fee-enabled categories.
The rebate percentage is at the sole discretion of Polymarket
and may change over time.

***
## Fee-Curve Weighted Rebates
Rebates are distributed using the **same formula as taker fees**. This ensures makers are rewarded proportionally to the fee value their liquidity generates.
For each filled maker order:
```text theme={null}
fee_equivalent = C × feeRate × p × (1 - p)
```
Where **C** = number of shares traded and **p** = price of the shares. The fee parameters differ by market type:
Totals are calculated per market, so you only compete with other makers in the same market.
***
## Taker Fee Structure
Taker fees are calculated in USDC and vary based on the share price. The fee amount in USDC is symmetric around 50% probability — a trade at 30¢ incurs the same dollar fee as a trade at 70¢.
For detailed fee tables for each market category, see the [Fees](/trading/fees) page.
### Fee Precision
Fees are rounded to 5 decimal places. The smallest fee charged is 0.00001 USDC. Anything smaller rounds to zero, so very small trades near the extremes may incur no fee at all.
