Positive funding: longs pay, shorts receive. Set the number of settlements explicitly; entry and exit timing determine which payments apply. The same assumed rate is used each time.

Simple inputs. Visible math.

Recalculate using your own fees and assumptions.

Net cost = notional × (opening fee + closing fee + side × funding rate × settlements)

Rates enter the formula as decimal fractions; 0.01% becomes 0.0001. Side is +1 for long and −1 for short. Positive cost means paid; negative cost means received. The interval describes the assumed cadence and does not change the settlement count. No compounding or annualized return is used.

Worked example: a 10,000 USDT long, opened as maker at 0.02%, closed as taker at 0.05%, with 9 funding settlements at 0.01%, costs 2 + 5 + 9 = 16 USDT. With the same inputs, a short pays 7 USDT in execution fees and receives 9 USDT in funding: a 2 USDT net credit, before price P&L and excluded costs.

Put the costs in context.
