PumpSwap fees are tiered by the token's market cap: traders pay about 1.25% per swap in total, but liquidity providers receive only about 0.02% while the market cap is below roughly 420 SOL — the rest goes to the protocol and the token creator. PumpSwap APR must therefore be calculated from the LP share, not the total fee traders pay; without that correction APR looks far higher than it really is.

PumpSwap Fees Explained (2026): Why LPs Get Only 0.02% at First
November 11, 2026
PumpSwap fees are tiered by market cap: traders pay 1.25% but LPs get only 0.02% below ~420 SOL. Table of LP, protocol and creator shares, and how to compute APR correctly.
PumpSwap fees are widely misunderstood. Many people assume a flat 0.25% fee, but for tokens that graduated from the Pump.fun bonding curve, PumpSwap fees are tiered by market cap — and the share for liquidity providers starts tiny: 0.02% of a 1.25% total fee. This article shows the numbers BaniPool reads directly from the Pump fee program on-chain, how to compute APR correctly, and when adding liquidity on PumpSwap makes sense.
PumpSwap fee table (read on-chain)
| Token market cap | Total trader fee | LP | Protocol | Creator |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| < ~420 SOL | 1.25% | 0.02% | 0.93% | 0.30% |
| ≥ ~420 SOL | ~1.20% → 0.30% | 0.20% | 0.05% | 0.95% → 0.05% |
| Non-Pump.fun pool | 0.30% | 0.25% | 0.05% | 0% |
While market cap is small, traders pay 1.25%, but only 0.02% goes to LPs — most goes to the protocol and creator. Above ~420 SOL market cap, the LP share rises to 0.20% and the creator share declines gradually.
Non-migration example: USDC/SOL PumpSwap 0.3% (BaniPool data, November 10, 2026) — TVL $5.1M, 24h volume $4.5M, Fee APR ~96.1% with a 0.25% LP share.
How to compute PumpSwap APR correctly
Fee APR = 24h volume × LP fee × 365 ÷ TVL
Example: a small token with $500K volume and $50K TVL.
- Using the 1.25% total fee → APR appears to be 4,562%.
- Using the real 0.02% LP fee → APR is ~73%.
BaniPool always computes Est. Fee APR from the LP share, not the total fee. More: liquidity pool APR explained.
