Binance Fee Schedule — Complete Spot, Futures, and Withdrawal Fee Breakdown

Why Understanding Binance Fees Matters

In cryptocurrency trading, fees are a key factor that directly affects your investment returns. Many beginners focus only on price movements while overlooking the erosion of profits caused by fees. If you trade multiple times a day, the cumulative fees over a year can add up to a significant sum.

As the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance's fee structure is already among the lowest in the industry, but there are substantial differences across trading types and VIP levels. A thorough understanding of the fee system allows you to take targeted measures to reduce trading costs.

This article systematically covers the fee standards for all major trading scenarios on Binance, helping you make smarter trading decisions.

Spot Trading Fees

Standard Rates for Regular Users (VIP 0)

Binance spot trading uses the Maker-Taker fee model:

Example:

If you purchase 10,000 USDT worth of BTC:

• Standard rate: 10,000 x 0.1% = 10 USDT in fees
• With BNB discount: 10,000 x 0.075% = 7.5 USDT in fees
• Savings per trade: 2.5 USDT

VIP Tier Fee Schedule

Binance VIP levels range from VIP 1 to VIP 9, with rates decreasing at each level:

Key notes:

• VIP levels are automatically updated daily based on the past 30 days' trading volume.
• Trading volume includes both spot and margin trading.
• Some special trading pairs (e.g., stablecoin pairs) may have different rates.

Special Rate Trading Pairs

Binance offers zero or reduced fees on select trading pairs:

• BTC pairs: Some BTC pairs enjoy zero Maker fees.
• Stablecoin pairs: USDT/USDC and similar stablecoin swaps may have lower rates.
• Promotional events: Binance periodically runs zero-fee promotions on specific pairs.

Futures Trading Fees

USDT-Margined Futures Rates

Standard rates for USDT-margined (linear) futures:

Coin-Margined Futures Rates

Standard rates for coin-margined (inverse) futures:

Futures Funding Rate

In addition to trading fees, futures trading involves a funding rate:

• Frequency: Charged every 8 hours (at UTC 00:00, 08:00, and 16:00).
• Range: Typically fluctuates between -0.01% and 0.03%.
• Calculation: Dynamically adjusted based on the price difference between the perpetual contract and spot price.
• Note: The funding rate can be positive or negative — when positive, longs pay shorts, and vice versa.

Futures trading cost example:

Suppose you go long on BTC with 10x leverage and a notional value of 10,000 USDT:

• Opening fee (Taker): 10,000 x 0.05% = 5 USDT
• Closing fee (Taker): 10,000 x 0.05% = 5 USDT
• Holding for 24 hours at 0.01% funding rate: 10,000 x 0.01% x 3 = 3 USDT
• Total trading cost: 13 USDT

Margin Trading Fees

Margin Borrowing Interest Rates

Margin trading involves borrowing interest that varies by coin:

• BTC daily rate: Approximately 0.02% – 0.05%
• USDT daily rate: Approximately 0.02% – 0.08%
• ETH daily rate: Approximately 0.02% – 0.05%

Rates are dynamically adjusted based on market supply and demand. During extreme market conditions, borrowing rates can spike significantly.

Total Cost of Margin Trading

The total cost of margin trading includes:

1. Trading fee (same Maker/Taker rate as spot)
2. Borrowing interest (billed hourly; any partial hour counts as a full hour)
3. Potential liquidation penalty

Withdrawal Fees

Major Coin Withdrawal Fees

Withdrawal fees vary by coin and selected network:

Note: The above rates may change due to network congestion and Binance adjustments. Always check the real-time rates on the Binance official page.

Factors Affecting Withdrawal Fees

1. Network choice: The same coin can have vastly different fees on different networks (e.g., USDT on ERC20 is several times more expensive than TRC20).
2. Network congestion: When the blockchain is busy, some coins may have temporarily increased withdrawal fees.
3. VIP level: Higher VIP users may receive withdrawal fee discounts on certain coins.
4. Promotional events: Binance occasionally runs zero-withdrawal-fee campaigns for specific coins.

Zero-Fee Internal Transfers

Internal transfers between Binance users are completely free:

1. Sending crypto via Binance Pay: zero fee.
2. Internal transfers via email/phone number: zero fee.
3. Transfers between main and sub-accounts: zero fee.
