How to Get Binance Fee Discounts: Savings of Up to 45% [2026]

1. Binance's standard fees

The standard fee structure described here is as follows:

Spot: 0.1% for both makers and takers.
Futures: 0.02% maker / 0.04% taker.
Withdrawals: Vary by network, for example 0.0001 BTC for Bitcoin.

These are already among the industry's lower rates, but there are four ways to obtain further discounts.

2. Method 1: referral discount, up to 20%

Registering through a referral link provides a permanent trading-fee discount of up to 20%. It cannot be applied after registration, so use the referral link when creating a new account.

💰 Annual savings

At $10,000 of monthly trading, the referral discount alone can save approximately $240 annually. The effect grows with trading volume.

3. Method 2: pay fees in BNB for an additional 25% discount

Paying fees with Binance's token, BNB, applies an additional 25% discount. To configure it:

Buy a small amount of BNB for fee payments.
Open Settings and enable Pay Fees with BNB.
Fees are automatically deducted from BNB when you trade.

4. Method 3: volume-based VIP tiers

When 30-day trading volume exceeds a threshold, the VIP tier increases and fees decline further. Rates decrease from VIP 1, described here as more than 1 million BUSD of monthly volume, through VIP 9. Most individuals are around VIP 0–1, making referral and BNB discounts more realistic options.

5. Method 4: use limit orders for maker fees

Maker fees on resting limit orders are lower than taker fees on market orders. The difference is particularly large in futures:

Futures maker 0.02% versus taker 0.04%: a twofold difference.
If execution is not urgent, use a limit order.

6. Combining discounts

Applying the discounts together gives:

📊 Maximum spot discount

Base 0.1% × referral factor 80% × BNB factor 75% = 0.06%, an effective 40% reduction.

📊 Futures maker discount

Base 0.02% × referral factor 80% = 0.016%.

7. How fees affect returns

A small fee difference becomes substantial over time. For the example of a trader making 10 trades per day:

Without discounts: approximately $7,300 in annual fees.
With referral and BNB discounts: approximately $4,380.
Annual savings of $2,920 can materially change the result.
