In USDT. Positive means you pay, negative means you receive. "Current rate" assumes every future period matches the rate now; "7-day average" uses the average of the last 7 days of settlements. Fees use the listed standard-tier rates; your actual fee may differ by tier, region or token discounts. * marks a partial 7-day record; "pending" means the latest settlement has not been collected yet, so the average runs to the previous period. Price moves, slippage and liquidation risk are not included.

How it is calculated

Settlements: how many funding times this contract passes between now and when you close. You only pay at the settlement moment, so holding 3 or 7 hours can both hit just one.
Each funding payment = position value × rate. Positive: longs pay, shorts receive. Negative: the reverse.
Fees = position value × fee rate × 2 (open once, close once). The maker rate only applies to orders that rest on the book; a limit order that fills immediately pays the taker rate.
Example: a 10,000 USDT long at 0.01% that hits 3 settlements pays 3 USDT in funding; at a 0.05% taker fee, opening and closing cost 5 USDT each; total 13 USDT.
