What Is Binance Referral Commission

Introduction to Binance Referral Commission

Binance Referral Commission is Binance's referral rewards program. In simple terms, when you invite friends to register on Binance and they start trading, a portion of the trading fees they generate is returned to you as a reward. At the same time, your invited friends also enjoy trading fee discounts. It's a win-win mechanism.

Commission Rates

Referrer Earnings

Referrers receive a percentage of their invitees' trading fees as commission:

• Base commission rate: 20% of invitee's trading fees
• Holding 500+ BNB: Commission rate can be increased to up to 40% of invitee's fees

Invitee Benefits

Users who register through a referral link also receive fee discounts:

• Referrers can choose to share a portion of their commission with invitees
• Common split ratios include: 20% to referrer / 0% to invitee, or 10% to referrer / 10% to invitee
• Register through this referral link to enjoy fee cashback benefits

Commission Calculation Examples

Example 1: Basic Commission

Suppose you invited Friend A:

• Friend A's monthly trading volume: 100,000 USDT
• Fees generated: 100,000 x 0.1% = 100 USDT
• Your commission: 100 x 20% = 20 USDT

Example 2: Multiple Referrals

Suppose you invited 10 active trading friends, each averaging 50 USDT in monthly fees:

• Total fees: 50 x 10 = 500 USDT
• Your monthly commission: 500 x 20% = 100 USDT
• Annual commission: 100 x 12 = 1,200 USDT

Example 3: Advanced Commission

If you hold 500+ BNB, the commission rate increases to 40%:

• Same 10 friends, monthly total fees of 500 USDT
• Your monthly commission: 500 x 40% = 200 USDT

How to Get Your Referral Link

Generating a Referral Link

1. Log in to the Binance App or web version
2. Go to Referral > Invite Friends
3. The system automatically generates your unique referral link and code
4. You can choose the commission split ratio (how much for you vs how much for your friend)

Sharing Methods

• Send the referral link directly to friends
• Share the referral code for friends to enter manually during registration
• Generate a referral poster to share on social media
• Place the referral link on your blog or social media profile

Commission Rules in Detail

Commission Currency

Commissions are paid in the actual currency the invitee traded. For example, if your friend trades the BTC/USDT pair and fees are collected in BTC or USDT, your commission is also in BTC or USDT.

Commission Distribution Time

• Commissions are calculated and credited in real-time
• After each friend's trade, the commission is automatically sent to your spot account
• You can view each commission record in the "Commission History"

Commission Duration

• Once established, the referral relationship is permanent
• As long as your friend continues trading on Binance, you continue earning commissions
• No time limit, no trading volume cap

Commission Scope

The following trades generate commission:

• Spot trading
• Margin trading
• USDⓈ-M futures trading
• COIN-M futures trading

The following do not generate commission:

• P2P trading (P2P has no fees)
• Deposit/withdrawal fees
• Earn products

Commission and VIP Level

Your invitee's VIP level affects their fee rate, which in turn affects your commission. When friends upgrade their VIP level, their fee rate decreases and the absolute commission amount drops accordingly. However, higher VIP friends typically trade more volume, so overall commission income may actually increase.

Commission FAQ

Q: What if my friend forgot to enter the referral code during registration? A: The referral code cannot be added after registration. The referral relationship can only be established at sign-up.

Q: Do I need to pay taxes on commission income? A: This depends on local tax laws. In most regions, referral commissions are taxable income — consult a local tax professional.

Q: Is there a limit to how many people I can refer? A: Binance has no limit on the number of referrals. You can invite as many friends as you want.

Q: Can I refer myself (using alt accounts)? A: No. Binance prohibits self-referral. If detected, referral privileges may be revoked and accounts may be banned.

Tips for Maximizing Commission Income

1. Share with friends who actively trade: Only active traders generate ongoing commissions
2. Set a reasonable commission split: Sharing part with friends makes them more willing to use your link
3. Hold 500 BNB: Boost your commission rate from 20% to 40%
4. Help friends learn to use Binance: The more proficient they are, the more they trade, the more you earn
