EXPLORING BINANCE FEES, CHARGES AND DISCOUNTS: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW

There are six markets of interest for traders on Binance: Spot, USDT-M Perpetual Futures, COIN-M Futures, Cross Collateral, Liquid Swap and P2P. The most popular market is Perpetual Futures.

Certain fees are set on each market. Binance fees are calculated on a maker/taker basis. Its final size is influenced by several factors: BNB, referral link and VIP level. Let's talk about each type of fee.

The fees for makers are comparatively lower compared to takers. “Makers” refers to orders listed in the order book, awaiting a matching counter order for execution. “Takers,” on the other hand, are promptly executed at the expense of makers. Essentially, makers contribute liquidity to the exchange while takers consume it. Consequently, makers incur lower fees, whereas takers face higher ones.

It is a common misconception among newcomers that takers exclusively involve market orders, and makers solely pertain to limit orders. A maker encompasses any order placed in the order book, awaiting execution, whereas a taker represents an order that matches and executes an order from the order book.

BNB Holders Discount Binance users can reduce fees using BNB (Binance's own token). At the moment it is 25% on Spot and 10% on Futures.If you’re interested in finding the most cost-effective options when operating in the futures market, check out our blog “Binance Futures Fees vs. Other Exchanges.”

BNB fee discount is valid in spot and USDT-M perpetual futures markets for all levels of the bonus program. On COIN-M futures market, there is no BNB discount.

You can receive an additional discount by registering on Binance via a referral link.The maximum discount is 20% for spot market and 10% for perpetual futures. The referral link discount works as a kickback, which means that the full amount of fee will be debited, then the transaction occurs, and after that the kickback fee will be returned to your account. The CScalp referral link is valid for 12 months from the date of registration.

If a trader is already registered on Binance, it will be required to sign up again for getting bonuses from the referral link.

Binance VIP Program contains 9 levels. The trader's level depends on its trading turnover in the equivalent of BTC and the number of BNBs held. There are basic fees at zero level.

VIP program and referral link discounts are combined only at zero and first VIP program levels. After reaching the second level, the discount for the referral link will be canceled.

The terms and conditions for participation in the VIP program in spot and futures markets are different and the trading volumes in different markets are not summarized.

Example: When you trade only on spot market and your monthly volume is greater than or equal to 50 BTC, you will receive first level in the VIP program only at the spot market.

In order to up the level in the futures market, you need to have a large turnover (due to the ability to trade with a credit shoulder up to 125x). That is why there is a division between VIP levels.

The Binance Spot base fee is 0.1% for both makers and takers. If you use BNB to pay the fees, you receive a 20% discount, resulting in a fee of 0.08%. Details about the Binance Spot fees, including VIP level considerations and BNB usage, can be found in the screenshot below.

The base Binance futures fee is 0.02% for makers and 0.05% for takers. With a referral link (10% discount), the fees are 0.01998% for makers and 0.04995% for takers. Binance's commission rates for USDT futures transactions, taking into account VIP levels and BNB, are shown in the screenshot below.

The base Binance COIN-M futures fee is 0.02% for makers and 0.05% for takers. There are no discounts for using BNB. The Binance COIN-M fee rates, including VIP levels, are shown in the screenshot below.

The base Binance options fee is 0.03% for both makers and takers. There is no discount for using BNB. The VIP program applies from the fourth level onwards – users with VIP 1/2/3 status do not receive discounts on Binance options transactions.
