How to read this data

Public quotes are indicative. Check order limits, payment compatibility, KYC and execution costs. A premium is not a guaranteed profit.

What is a P2P premium?

Premium = (USDT fiat price / USD fiat reference − 1) × 100. USDT and USD are different assets; this is a reference comparison, not an executable USD conversion.

How is a cross-platform spread calculated?

Gross spread = (best sell price / best buy price − 1) × 100, in the same fiat. Fees and available order size must be checked separately.

Why do prices differ?

Local supply, demand, payment methods and execution restrictions can change P2P quotes. The FX reference is a provider benchmark, not a local cash or black-market rate.

Is a premium the same as net profit?

No. A premium compares a USDT quote with the USD FX benchmark. Net profit must also subtract trading and withdrawal fees, and depends on compatible payments, limits and executable liquidity. Use the calculator with your own costs.
