When withdrawing from Binance, fees vary enormously depending on the network (chain). Choosing the right chain can save you significant money. This article compiles withdrawal fees for common coins across networks. If you don't have a Binance account, register on Binance first — check the fees on the withdrawal page.
What Makes Up Withdrawal Fees
Binance withdrawal fees include two components:
- Network fee (Gas Fee): Paid to blockchain miners/validators
- Binance service fee: Binance's own charge (typically included in the withdrawal fee)
The fee displayed by Binance is fixed and includes both components.
USDT Withdrawal Fee Comparison
USDT is the most commonly withdrawn coin, available on multiple chains:
| Network | Fee | Speed | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| TRC20 (Tron) | 1 USDT | 1-5 min | Highly recommended |
| BSC (BNB Chain) | 0.29 USDT | 1-3 min | Recommended |
| Polygon | 0.1 USDT | 1-5 min | Recommended |
| Arbitrum One | 0.1 USDT | 1-5 min | Recommended |
| Optimism | 0.1 USDT | 1-5 min | Recommended |
| Solana | 1 USDT | 1-3 min | Average |
| ERC20 (Ethereum) | 3-10 USDT | 3-10 min | Not recommended |
Conclusion: For USDT, prefer TRC20, BSC, or L2 networks (Arbitrum/Optimism). Avoid ERC20.
BTC Withdrawal Fees
| Network | Fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | 0.0001-0.0005 BTC | Varies with network congestion |
| BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) | 0.0000005 BTC | Very cheap but BEP20 version |
| Lightning Network | Extremely low | For small amounts |
For long-term BTC storage in your own wallet, use the Bitcoin native network. For transfers to other exchanges that support BEP20, use BSC to save.
ETH Withdrawal Fees
| Network | Fee |
|---|---|
| ERC20 (Ethereum) | 0.0005-0.005 ETH |
| BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) | 0.000005 ETH |
| Arbitrum One | 0.0001 ETH |
| Optimism | 0.0001 ETH |
If the recipient supports L2 networks, prefer Arbitrum or Optimism for ETH.
Other Common Coin Withdrawal Fees
| Coin | Cheapest Network | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| BNB | BSC | 0.0005 BNB |
| SOL | Solana | 0.008 SOL |
| XRP | XRP | 0.25 XRP |
| DOGE | Dogecoin | 5 DOGE |
| MATIC | Polygon | 0.1 MATIC |
| ADA | Cardano | 1 ADA |
How to Choose a Withdrawal Network
1. Confirm the Recipient Supports the Network
This is the most important step. If the receiving wallet or exchange doesn't support a network, it doesn't matter how cheap it is. Using the wrong network can cause permanent fund loss!
2. Consider the Cost
Among supported networks, choose the one with the lowest fee.
3. Consider Speed
For large transfers, choose more established and secure networks, even if slightly more expensive.
4. Consider Minimum Withdrawal Amount
Different networks have different minimums — important for small withdrawals.
Withdrawal Steps
- In the Binance app, tap "Assets," then "Withdraw"
- Select the coin to withdraw
- Enter or paste the receiving address
- Select the network (this step is critical)
- Enter the withdrawal amount
- Confirm fees and arrival amount
- Complete security verification and submit
Money-Saving Tips
- Small USDT withdrawals: use TRC20 — 1 USDT fee, best value
- Exchange-to-exchange transfers: Use BSC or TRC20 — most major exchanges support them
- Accumulate before withdrawing: Fees are flat, not percentage-based. Withdrawing 100 USDT and 10,000 USDT costs the same fee
- Watch for promotions: Binance occasionally offers zero-fee withdrawals on specific networks
- Pay fees with BNB: Some scenarios allow BNB deduction with a discount
FAQ
Q: What if I send to the wrong network? A: If the recipient doesn't support that network, funds may be unrecoverable. Always double-check the network.
Q: Do fees change? A: Yes. Binance adjusts fees based on network congestion, especially for Ethereum.
Q: Are internal transfers free? A: Yes. Transfers between Binance users via email/phone/ID are fee-free.
Summary
Choosing the right withdrawal network can save substantial fees. Three principles to remember: confirm the recipient supports it, choose the cheapest chain, and use a more secure network for large amounts.
