MetaMask swap fees: the trading fee is only part of the quote

Compare the amount you pay with the amount you expect to receive, then inspect the network fee and any bridge-provider charge. Do not add the displayed trading fee twice if the receive quote already includes it. Price impact describes how the trade interacts with liquidity; slippage tolerance limits an acceptable execution difference, rather than naming a second fixed platform fee.

How to swap tokens covers the transaction flow. Gas fees explained covers the network portion.

An approval and the swap can be separate on-chain transactions. Inspect each wallet prompt and its fee. The network can charge for an included transaction even if its execution reverts.

Some MetaMask routes support gasless swaps, where gas is covered from tokens being swapped. That does not make network execution free. Use the supported route's quote rather than assuming a separate native-token balance is always required or that gas has disappeared. Token approval revocation explains the permission that can remain after a trade.

At the standard 0.875% rate, a hypothetical $100 trade corresponds to an $0.875 platform fee before considering discounts and the rest of the route. It does not establish the final number of tokens received. Gas, market liquidity and any cross-chain costs still need their own quote.

Do not compare a wallet's final receive amount with an exchange's headline rate while omitting either route's additional costs. Compare equivalent asset amounts on the same destination network.

A quote can refresh before signing. Recheck the destination asset, network and amount rather than confirming an old preview from memory. For a bank payout, withdrawing from MetaMask separates Send from Sell; a swap does not by itself send currency to a bank.

The crypto payments topic groups these routes. PVPspinArena's wallet instructions concern its own deposits; they do not set MetaMask's fees.
