Binance Fees Explained (2026): Spot, Futures and Withdrawal Costs

Binance charges you in two completely different ways, and mixing them up is the source of most confusion:

• Trading fees are a percentage of what you trade. Bigger trade, bigger fee.
• Withdrawal fees are a fixed amount per coin and network. Bigger withdrawal, same fee.

Everything else is detail. This page routes you to the right detail.

The trading fee formula

Trading fee = executed value × your current fee rate

At the standard VIP0 tier, the spot rate is 0.10%. Buying 1,000 USDT of an asset costs about 1 USDT; selling it later costs about 1 USDT again, so a round trip is roughly 2 USDT before any discount.

Your actual rate depends on the market, your VIP tier, whether the fill was maker or taker, the asset you pay the fee in, and any promotion active on your account. Rates here were checked in August 2026 — always confirm the live figure in your own account.

Maker and taker

A maker order rests on the book and adds liquidity. A taker order fills immediately against what is already there.

A limit order is not automatically a maker order — if it crosses the spread when you submit it, it fills instantly and is billed as a taker. And at VIP0 on spot, both rates are the same 0.10%, so maker execution saves nothing until you reach a higher tier. On futures the gap is immediate and real. Full explanation: maker vs taker fees.

Futures are priced differently

Futures fees are charged on notional position value, not on the margin you deposited. A 500 USDT margin position at 10× is priced on 5,000 USDT.

Funding payments and the roughly 1.25% liquidation fee sit outside the trading fee entirely, which is why a headline rate never shows the true cost of a leveraged position. See Binance futures fees, and for the liquidation side, liquidation price.

Three routes to a lower rate

1. A benefit attached at sign-up — it must be displayed on the registration page before you create the account.
2. Paying the fee in BNB — 25% off spot, 10% off USDⓈ-M futures, nothing on COIN-M. See paying fees with BNB.
3. Maker execution — only useful once your tier separates the maker and taker columns, or on futures where it already does.

These stack, but each has a condition attached. Details in how to lower Binance fees.

Withdrawal fees are not trading fees

Moving coins off Binance costs a fixed amount set per coin and per network, reflecting what that blockchain charges. The same coin can often leave over several networks at very different costs — and the cheapest one is only correct if the receiving wallet or exchange supports it. See withdrawal fees and networks.

Moving balances between your own wallets inside the platform is an internal transfer, not a withdrawal, and does not pay a network fee.
