How to Use BNB to Save 25% on Binance Trading Fees
One of the easiest ways to reduce your crypto trading costs is to enable BNB fee deduction on Binance. This simple setting gives you an instant 25% discount on every trade. Here is exactly how to set it up and how much you will save.
How Much Do You Save?
Without BNB discount:
- Maker fee: 0.10%
- Taker fee: 0.10%
With BNB discount:
- Maker fee: 0.075%
- Taker fee: 0.075%
On a $10,000 trade, that is:
- Without BNB: $10 fee
- With BNB: $7.50 fee
- Savings per trade: $2.50
If you make 10 trades per day: $25/day = $750/month saved.
How to Enable BNB Fee Deduction
1. Log in to your Binance account
2. Click on your profile icon → Dashboard
3. Scroll down to Using BNB to Pay for Fees
4. Toggle the switch to ON
5. Ensure you have some BNB in your spot wallet
That is it. Binance will automatically deduct fees in BNB at the discounted rate.
How Much BNB Do You Need?
You need enough BNB to cover your trading fees. A rough guideline:
- Trading $1,000/day: Keep ~$1 of BNB
- Trading $10,000/day: Keep ~$10 of BNB
- Trading $100,000/day: Keep ~$100 of BNB
We recommend keeping at least $50 of BNB in your account to avoid running out during active trading sessions.
Does It Stack With VIP Discounts?
Yes! The BNB discount applies on top of your VIP tier discount. If you are a VIP 1 trader with 0.09% taker fee, the BNB discount brings it down to 0.0675%.
Impact on Arbitrage Profitability
For arbitrage traders, this discount is game-changing. A 25% reduction in trading fees means:
- Trades that were previously unprofitable after fees become profitable
- Your break-even spread threshold drops from ~0.20% to ~0.15%
- You can capitalize on more opportunities per day
