About binance fees
Binance fees in 2026 split into two very different schedules depending on where you live. Binance.com runs the global schedule โ 0.10% maker/taker on spot by default, with a 25% discount for paying fees in BNB and a nine-step VIP ladder that requires both 30-day volume and a minimum BNB balance. Binance.US runs a separate US-only schedule and, as of April 2026, charges 0% maker and 0.02% taker on most pairs with no volume tiers โ making the US arm cheaper on headline rate than the global one. Withdrawals on either platform are flat per asset per network and adjust weekly with on-chain gas, so picking the right network usually matters more than shaving the trade fee.
How it works
Binance.com starts everyone at 0.10% maker / 0.10% taker on spot. Toggling 'pay fees in BNB' in account settings deducts each fee from your BNB balance at a 25% discount, taking the effective baseline to 0.075% / 0.075%. The VIP ladder (VIP 1 through VIP 9) requires both a 30-day USD trading volume threshold AND a minimum BNB holding โ VIP 1 needs โฅ$1M volume plus โฅ5 BNB. Binance.US, a separate legal entity, runs its own schedule: 0% maker / 0.02% taker on Tier I pairs for every user, no volume gate, plus a 5% BNB discount on top. Withdrawal fees on both platforms are quoted per asset per network and re-priced regularly โ USDT on TRC-20 runs about 1 USDT, while USDT on Ethereum can exceed 5โ10 USDT during congestion.
How to pay less
- 1Decide which platform you're on โ US residents must use Binance.US; everyone else uses Binance.com.
- 2Toggle 'use BNB to pay fees' in account settings (25% off on Binance.com, 5% off on Binance.US).
- 3On Binance.com, climb the VIP ladder only if you can hit both the volume AND the BNB-holding requirement.
- 4Before any withdrawal, check the live network options โ TRC-20 or BSC almost always beat Ethereum mainnet.
Pros
- Headline spot fees are among the lowest of any major centralized exchange, especially Binance.US at 0%/0.02%.
- BNB discount stacks on top of any VIP-tier discount you've earned.
- Wide network choice on withdrawals lets you swap a $5+ Ethereum fee for a roughly $1 TRC-20 or BSC fee.
Watch out for
- Binance.com is unavailable to US residents, and Binance.US is unavailable in several states (notably NY, HI, TX, VT historically โ confirm in your state).
- Binance.com VIP discounts gate on BNB holdings, not just volume โ high-volume traders without BNB stay at retail rates.
- Withdrawal fees float with network gas and can wipe out trade-fee savings if you pick the wrong network.
Common questions
What are Binance's spot trading fees in 2026?
Binance.com charges 0.10% maker / 0.10% taker by default on spot, dropping to 0.075% / 0.075% with the 25% BNB-payment discount. Binance.US is on a separate, more aggressive schedule โ 0% maker / 0.02% taker on Tier I pairs for every user, no volume minimums required, after an April 2026 fee cut.
How does the BNB fee discount work?
On Binance.com, toggling 'use BNB to pay fees' in account settings deducts each fee from your BNB balance at a 25% discount โ so the 0.10% baseline becomes 0.075%. On Binance.US, the same toggle gives a 5% discount, not 25%. The discount stacks on top of any VIP-tier discount you've earned. You need a positive BNB balance for it to apply.
Why are Binance.US fees different from Binance.com?
Binance.US is a separate legal entity operating under US regulation and runs its own fee schedule, product set, and state-by-state availability. As of April 2026 Binance.US is actually cheaper on headline (0% / 0.02%) than Binance.com (0.10% / 0.10%), but it has fewer trading pairs, no margin/derivatives, and a smaller BNB discount (5% vs 25%). Binance.com is not available to US residents.
What are Binance withdrawal fees?
Withdrawal fees are flat per asset per network and Binance re-prices them roughly weekly to track on-chain gas. The same asset can cost very different amounts on different rails โ USDT on TRC-20 is roughly 1 USDT, USDT on Ethereum often costs 5โ10 USDT or more during congestion, and BSC is usually somewhere in between.
How do I lower my Binance fees?
Toggle pay-fees-in-BNB on (25% off Binance.com, 5% off Binance.US), use limit orders so you qualify as a maker on tiers where maker is cheaper, and pick the cheapest available network when withdrawing โ TRC-20, BSC, or an L2 instead of Ethereum mainnet. On Binance.com, climbing the VIP ladder lowers fees further but requires holding the tier's minimum BNB balance, not just hitting the volume threshold.
