Your Binance VIP level directly determines your trading fee rates. Higher levels mean lower fees — saving significant money over time. This article explains VIP level calculations and fee differences. New users can register on Binance first — you start as a regular user and can progress through VIP levels based on trading volume.
How VIP Levels Are Calculated
Binance VIP levels update daily based on two conditions (whichever yields the higher level):
Condition 1: 30-Day Trading Volume Total trading volume on Binance over the past 30 days (including spot, futures, etc.).
Condition 2: Daily Average BNB Holdings Average BNB holdings in your account over the past 30 days.
The two conditions each correspond to a level — the higher one becomes your final VIP level.
VIP Level Requirements
| VIP Level | 30-Day Volume (USDT) | Or Daily Avg BNB Holdings |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | < 1M | < 25 BNB |
| VIP 1 | >= 1M | >= 25 BNB |
| VIP 2 | >= 5M | >= 100 BNB |
| VIP 3 | >= 20M | >= 250 BNB |
| VIP 4 | >= 50M | >= 500 BNB |
| VIP 5 | >= 100M | >= 1,000 BNB |
| VIP 6 | >= 250M | >= 1,750 BNB |
| VIP 7 | >= 500M | >= 3,000 BNB |
| VIP 8 | >= 1B | >= 4,500 BNB |
| VIP 9 | >= 2.5B | >= 5,500 BNB |

How Big Is the Fee Difference?
For 1,000,000 USDT monthly trading volume (all Taker):
| VIP Level | Spot Fees | Futures Fees |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | 1,000 USDT | 500 USDT |
| VIP 3 | 600 USDT | 320 USDT |
| VIP 5 | 480 USDT | 270 USDT |
Upgrading from Regular to VIP 3 saves 400 USDT per month on spot and 180 USDT on futures.
How to Reduce Fees
1. Use BNB Fee Deduction
Enable BNB fee deduction for a 25% discount (exact percentage may vary).
Path: App, then Avatar, then Fee Rate, then Enable BNB Deduction
2. Use Limit Orders (Maker)
Limit order Maker rates are lower than market order Taker rates, especially significant in futures.
3. Use a Referral Code
Register with a rebate-eligible referral link to receive a percentage of fee refunds.
4. Hold BNB to Increase VIP Level
If your trading volume isn't enough for an upgrade, holding BNB can get you there.
5. Join Promotions
Binance occasionally runs fee discount promotions or zero-fee trading pairs.
How to Check Your VIP Level

- Tap the avatar in the top left
- Your current VIP level is shown on the profile page

Summary
For regular users, the most practical fee-saving methods are enabling BNB deduction and using limit orders wherever possible. For higher-volume traders, advancing your VIP level brings even larger fee savings.
