Binance Futures Fee Calculator
Calculate maker/taker fees, the BNB discount, funding cost over time, and your break-even move for any futures trade. Same concept on Bybit, OKX & Bitget.
How Binance Futures Fees Work
Fees apply to the notional size of your position (margin × leverage), on both entry and exit. VIP 0: 0.02% maker, 0.05% taker. The BNB discount cuts 10%. A funding rate is also paid every 8 hours while the position is open — the longer you hold, the more it costs. Full breakdown in the fees guide.
Worked example: what a round trip costs at VIP 0
Fees are charged on position size, not on your margin. A $500 margin trade at 10x is a $5,000 position, so a taker entry and exit costs $5.00 — 1% of your margin before price moves at all.
| Position size | Taker in+out (0.05%) | Maker in+out (0.02%) | Taker with BNB discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | $1.00 | $0.40 | $0.90 |
| $10,000 | $10.00 | $4.00 | $9.00 |
| $100,000 | $100.00 | $40.00 | $90.00 |
Common fee mistakes
- Working fees out on margin instead of position size — at 10x that understates them tenfold.
- Forgetting the exit: a stop-market order fills as a taker.
- Ignoring funding on any trade held past an 8-hour settlement.
