Binance Fees 2026 — Rates and How Code RMCTNB5R Cuts Them

Binance charges 0.10% taker and 0.10% maker. Here is what that means in practice, and how to pay less.

Binance charges 0.10% taker and 0.10% maker. Those two numbers decide what trading actually costs you, and the gap between them is where most of the savings are.

Taker versus maker, plainly

A taker order removes liquidity from the order book — a market order, or a limit order that fills immediately. A maker order adds liquidity and waits. Exchanges charge less for makers because they improve the book.

On Binance the spread is 0.10% versus 0.10%. Every order you place as a limit order that sits in the book costs you the maker rate instead.

The referral discount on top

Using code RMCTNB5R applies a 20% discount to those rates. So a taker order that would cost 0.10% costs roughly 0.0800% with the discount applied.

It is a small per-trade difference that compounds. A trader doing $50,000 of monthly volume pays a few hundred dollars a year less.

How Binance compares

Across the major venues, fee structures fall into rough bands:

  • Binance: 0.10% taker / 0.10% maker
  • Low-fee futures venues typically land around 0.05% taker
  • Full-service exchanges commonly charge 0.10% taker on both sides
  • Telegram trading bots typically charge around 1% per trade — an order of magnitude higher

If cost is your priority, Binance's 0.10% maker rate is the number to build around.

Beyond the base rate

Two things move your effective fee more than the headline rate:

  1. Volume tiers. Most exchanges cut fees as 30-day volume rises. The tiers are published — check where you land.
  2. Withdrawal fees. These are charged per transaction and vary wildly by asset and network. A cheap trading fee means nothing if you withdraw on an expensive network.

The practical takeaway

Use limit orders where you can, apply RMCTNB5R for the 20% discount, and check withdrawal costs before moving funds. The trading fee is only part of what Binance costs you.
