# Fees

> 1% on buys, 2.5% on sells. Recovery actions priced on what they recover.

## Trading

| Side     | Platform fee |
| -------- | ------------ |
| **Buy**  | **1%**       |
| **Sell** | **2.5%**     |

No subscriptions, no tiers, no volume gates, no hidden spread on top of the pool price.

The sell side costs more because it does more. A buy is one route in. A sell has to find an exit
that actually executes for whatever the token is: a bonding curve position, a migrated pool, a
Token-2022 asset, a thin market that needs careful routing. The 2.5% covers the whole exit
machinery, on every token the [full scan](/portfolio/cleanup) surfaces, not just the easy ones.

## How it is charged

The fee is part of the same transaction as your swap. Atomic. If the transaction fails, the fee
fails with it. You can never pay a fee for a trade that did not happen.

## Recovery actions

The portfolio scan surfaces value most wallets leave stranded. Recovery is priced on what it
returns, and only when it returns it:

| Action               | You receive                  | Platform fee                        |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Vacant account close | 0.002 SOL per closed account | The remainder above the flat amount |
| Pump rewards claim   | 95% of recovered             | 5% of recovered                     |

Both are atomic like trades: a failed transaction recovers nothing and pays nothing. Details in
[Wallet cleanup](/portfolio/cleanup).

## What primal. does not charge

* **Network fees.** Solana's base and priority fees go to the network and validators. Your
  wallet shows them before you sign, and your [preset](/trading/presets) controls them.
* **Tips.** Protected-execution tips, when your preset uses them, go to the execution
  infrastructure, not to primal.
* **Pool costs.** LP fees and price impact are properties of the pool you trade in, identical to
  what you would pay trading the same pool anywhere else.
