Funding rates normally reset each interval. Multiplying one current rate across many intervals is a scenario, not a forecast.

How to read this tool

Positive funding normally means longs pay and shorts receive. Negative funding reverses the direction. Actual rates can change before every settlement.

Method and limits

Convert rates into cash flow

The calculator multiplies position notional by the periodic rate and the number of intervals. Confirm whether the venue displays a per-interval or annualized number and which side pays at the selected sign.12

Repeating one rate is a stress scenario, not a forecast. Funding can change or reverse at every observation.23
