Our fee is built into the rate (the spread). For this pair it is normally 2.00%; right now it is 2.13%: 0.13% because prices moved fast in the last hour. A fixed rate adds 0.30%, and small swaps pay at least $0.50.
Network fees do not grow with the amount, which is why the pair has a minimum: 6 times the network fees, or the coin's own floor if that is higher. The amount you receive already has them taken off.
