Binance Maker and Taker Fees Explained

What Are Maker and Taker?

Maker: An order that adds liquidity to the order book (e.g., a limit order that is not immediately filled). Pays lower fees.

Taker: An order that removes liquidity from the order book (e.g., a market order or limit order that fills immediately). Pays higher fees.

Fee Rates

Spot: 0.1% for both (base level). Futures USDT-M: 0.02% maker / 0.04% taker. Futures Coin-M: 0.01% maker / 0.05% taker.

How to Pay Maker Fees

Place limit orders at prices that do not match existing orders. This way your order sits on the book and provides liquidity.

Savings Example

On $10,000 in futures trades, taker fee = $4, maker fee = $2. That is a 50% savings just by using limit orders.

Conclusion

Use limit orders to pay lower maker fees. Register for additional discounts.
