  Coinbase calculates the spread fee by considering the difference between the buy and sell prices of a digital asset. This difference is known as the spread. The spread fee is a percentage of the spread and is added to the buy or sell price to cover Coinbase's expenses. The exact percentage may vary depending on market conditions and the specific digital asset being traded.
