Fees
Untaxed adds 0% markup to every trade. The only fee is a 0.25% pool fee on free-tier trades — and staking removes even that.
The model in one line
Every execution engine routes your trade at the raw on-chain price with zero platform markup. Separately, free-tier traders pay a 0.25% pool fee in SOL that is collected to a treasury and shared back, in full, to $UNTAXED Ultra stakers. Stake 200,000 $UNTAXED or more and you pay 0% — no pool fee at all.
Per-engine markup: always 0%
Untaxed never marks up the swap itself. Each of the five execution paths carries its own platform-fee setting, and all five are wired to 0 basis points — Untaxed takes nothing on top of your trade:
| Engine | Platform markup |
|---|---|
| Jup Beam | 0% |
| Jup Ultra | 0% |
| Jup Metis | 0% |
| Jito Bundles | 0% |
| Helius Sender | 0% |
See Execution Engines for what each path does.
The 0.25% pool fee
This is the only fee Untaxed charges, and it exists to fund the staking reward pool — not the company. Key points, exactly as the trade pipeline applies them:
- Who pays it: only free-tier traders. Pro and Ultra stakers pay 0%.
- How much: 0.25% (25 basis points) of the trade size, taken in SOL.
- Where it goes: straight into the fee treasury, a custodial vault. 100% of the pool is distributed to Ultra stakers — see Staking & Rewards. Untaxed keeps none of it.
- How it's charged: as an extra SOL transfer appended to your swap transaction, so it settles atomically with the trade. No separate transaction, no approval step.
- Small trades are exempt: if the 0.25% would come out below 10,000 lamports (0.00001 SOL), no fee is added at all — tiny trades pay nothing.
The one exception: the Jup Ultra engine
The Jup Ultra engine is fully managed by Jupiter and its transaction is signed as Jupiter builds it, so Untaxed can't inject a SOL transfer into it. On that one engine the 0.25% pool fee is not applied; instead Jupiter's own referral mechanism applies. That referral is separate from the pool and never enters the staking treasury. Every other engine — Beam, Metis, Jito, Helius — carries the pool fee for free-tier trades.
How to trade at 0%
Reach Pro or Ultra tier by staking $UNTAXED, and the 0.25% pool fee drops to zero on every trade:
- Pro — stake 200,000 $UNTAXED.
- Ultra — stake 1,500,000 $UNTAXED (also earns a share of the pool).
Your staked balance is summed across all wallets in the extension, and your tier refreshes automatically. Full mechanics are in Staking & Rewards and Holder Benefits.
Network costs are separate
Two on-chain costs are paid to the network, not to Untaxed, and apply regardless of tier:
- Solana network & priority fees — the standard cost of landing any transaction.
- Helius Sender tip — the Helius Sender engine requires a small tip to one of its tip accounts to land; it is not a platform fee and is separate from the pool fee.
- Jito tips — Jito bundle execution includes a validator tip you set, paid to land the bundle.
