The Ultimate Guide to Saving on Binance Trading Fees

Why You Should Care About Fees

In cryptocurrency trading, fees may seem small (usually under 0.1%), but they add up significantly over time. If you trade several times a day, monthly fees can represent a considerable portion of your total trading volume. Therefore, making the most of various discount methods to reduce fees is a skill every trader should master.

Method 1: Use BNB to Pay Fees

This is the simplest and most commonly used way to save.

How to Enable

1. Open the Binance APP or log in to the Binance website
2. Go to account settings or profile
3. Find the "Use BNB to Pay Fees" option
4. Enable the feature

Discount Rate

• Spot trading: Using BNB to pay fees provides a 25% discount
• Example: The original Maker/Taker fee rate of 0.1% becomes 0.075% with BNB deduction

Important Notes

• You need to hold enough BNB in your account to cover the fees
• The system will automatically convert fees into BNB for deduction
• Even if you don't actively trade BNB, holding a small amount for fee deduction is worthwhile

Method 2: Register with a Referral Code

Registering through a referral link earns trading fee rebates.

How to Get It

• Register a new account through our referral link
• Ensure the referral code is applied during registration
• You'll receive a percentage rebate on trading fees generated

Discount Rate

The referral rebate is typically 10%-20% of trading fees and can be stacked with BNB deduction.

Method 3: Upgrade Your VIP Level

Binance's VIP system is based on your trading volume and BNB holdings — the higher the level, the lower the fees.

How to Level Up

• Increase trading frequency and volume
• Hold more BNB
• Both trading volume and BNB holdings must be met to upgrade
• The system automatically updates VIP levels daily

Method 4: Use Zero-Fee Trading Pairs

Binance periodically offers zero-fee promotions for select trading pairs.

Common Zero-Fee Trading Pairs

• BTC/USDT, BTC/FDUSD, and other popular pairs sometimes offer zero fees
• Binance frequently launches limited-time zero-fee events
• FDUSD-denominated trading pairs may enjoy zero-fee benefits

How to Take Advantage

• Follow Binance announcements to stay updated on zero-fee events
• If the cryptocurrency you trade has a zero-fee pair, prioritize using it
• You can buy FDUSD first, then use FDUSD trading pairs

Method 5: Use Point Cards

Binance point cards can be used to offset trading fees.

How to Obtain

• Earn points by participating in Binance events
• Complete specific tasks
• Receive them from promotional campaigns

How to Use

Find point cards in your account center and activate them — they'll automatically be applied to offset fees.

Method 6: Use Maker Orders in Futures Trading

In futures trading, the Maker (limit order) fee rate is much lower than the Taker (market order) rate.

Futures Fee Rates

• Maker: 0.02%
• Taker: 0.05%

By using limit orders instead of market orders, you can enjoy the lower Maker rate, saving more than half on fees.

Method 7: Unified Account / Portfolio Margin

For high-volume traders, Binance's Portfolio Margin mode can further reduce costs:

• Higher capital efficiency
• Lower margin requirements
• Exclusive fee tiers

Combined Savings Strategies

Combining the above methods maximizes your fee savings:

Beginner Combo (Simple and Easy)

1. Register through the referral link for rebates
2. Enable BNB fee deduction
3. Watch for zero-fee trading pairs

Estimated savings: 30%-40% compared to default rates

Advanced Combo (For Active Traders)

1. Referral rebate + BNB deduction
2. Use limit orders in futures for Maker rates
3. Actively level up VIP status
4. Use FDUSD zero-fee trading pairs

Estimated savings: Over 50% compared to default rates

Calculation Example

Assuming 100,000 USDT monthly spot trading volume:

Without any discounts:

• Fees = 100,000 × 0.1% × 2 (one buy + one sell) = 200 USDT

With all discounts applied:

• Referral rebate (15%): Save 30 USDT
• BNB deduction (25%): Save approximately 42.5 USDT on the remainder
• With VIP 1 (Maker 0.09%): Further reduction

Your actual fees could be around 100 USDT — nearly half saved.

Important Notes

1. BNB deduction and VIP levels are the most stable discount methods — recommended for long-term use
2. Zero-fee promotions are time-limited — follow Binance announcements for the latest events
3. Fee rates may be adjusted per Binance policy — check the latest fee schedule regularly
4. Don't overtrade just to save on fees — your trading strategy matters more than fee savings
