Which is cheaper?

Binance has the lower maker and taker rates in these account snapshots. Even a 20% rebate on the shown OKX fees leaves 0.320% maker and 0.480% taker, above Binance’s 0.100% standard spot fees. Your account may differ; apply only benefits you qualify for.

CompareTradeFees

CompareTradeFees is an independent affiliate publication. TradeFeeBack, LowerTradeFees and FuturesFeeCheck are related guides from the same publisher. This site is not operated by OKX or Binance.

We may earn commission from eligible activity through our referral links. Commission is not an input to this calculator: the lower-fee result follows the rates and rebates you enter.

We do not collect exchange credentials. Calculator inputs stay in your browser. This comparison is information to help you check costs, not a recommendation to trade.

The calculation

  1. Find the effective rate.

    Entered fee rate × (1 − eligible rebate ÷ 100).

  2. Estimate each fee.

    One-way trade value × effective rate ÷ 100.

  3. Compare the two amounts.

    The difference is the larger estimated fee minus the smaller one. The result uses unrounded rates; dollar amounts round to cents. A positive fee below one cent is shown as “Less than $0.01”.

An illustrative $10,000 trade

If you enter a 0.100% fee and a confirmed 20% rebate, the effective rate is 0.080% and the estimated fee is $8.00. A second exchange at 0.100% with no rebate costs $10.00: a $2.00 difference. These are example inputs, not current account quotes.

Assumptions, exclusions and sources

Use the same product and maker or taker execution on both sides. Enter a rate that already includes any applicable fee-payment discount, such as BNB. Add a referral rebate only if your offer allows it on top; do not apply the same discount twice.

This estimates one executed side, not a buy-and-sell round trip. It excludes funding, spread, slippage, deposit and withdrawal charges, bank or currency-conversion costs. Exchanges may charge fees in crypto; actual fills and rounding can differ from this USD-equivalent estimate.

The presets reproduce the documented UAE regular-user account snapshots from 24 September 2026. They have not been refreshed as current quotes. Your own account, pair, tier, location and active offer take priority. Official explanations checked on 24 October 2026: OKX fee calculation and account rates and Binance BNB fee-payment conditions.

WHY THE FINAL RATE MATTERS

A bigger rebate can
still cost you more.

Suppose one exchange charges 0.100% and returns 20% of that fee. You’re left with 0.080%. Another exchange charging 0.075% would cost less, even without a rebate. Use the final rate when you compare.

ABOUT THE COMPARISON

What could change
this comparison?

The table is a starting point. These details explain when your own rate may be different.

How do I use the Binance fee calculator?+

Enter the value of one side of your trade, choose a spot preset or enter your own rates, and use the fee rate shown in your Binance account for the product you are comparing. Apply only confirmed discounts or rebates. The result excludes funding, spread, slippage and withdrawal costs.

Is a Binance referral code the same as a promo code?+

A referral code links a new account to an invitation. A promo code may belong to a separate campaign. Read the offer displayed by Binance: a referral rebate and a signup reward can have different conditions.

Does a Binance referral code guarantee a sign up bonus?+

No. Check the reward, required tasks, deadline and regional eligibility on Binance before registering. This comparison does not promise a cash signup bonus; it calculates trading fees using the rates and rebates you enter.

Is a 20% rebate better than a lower starting fee?+

Not always. A 0.10% fee after a 20% rebate becomes 0.08%, which still costs more than 0.075%. Compare the final rate after eligible discounts.

Can I compare spot fees with futures fees?+

They use different fee schedules. Compare spot with spot and matching futures contracts; perpetual futures can also involve funding payments.

Where do these fee rates come from?+

The table was transcribed from our publisher’s logged-in OKX and Binance UAE fee screens on 24 September 2026. Both show the regular-user tier. It does not establish one fee schedule for all MENA countries. Your own account, trading pair and discounts take priority.

OKX vs Binance: which has lower trading fees?+

Binance has lower spot fees in our UAE account comparison dated 24 September 2026. Your own rates and eligible discounts determine your cost.

How Binance fees work
Can I combine BNB discounts and referral rebates?+

Only when your Binance offer permits both. Calculate the fee after the BNB discount, then apply any confirmed referral rebate to that fee.

Are maker fees and taker fees the same?+

They can be different. An order that adds liquidity to the order book may pay the maker rate. An order that fills immediately can pay the taker rate, even if you placed it as a limit order.

Does this calculator show the full cost of a trade?+

No. It compares fees for one side of a trade after eligible rebates. Funding, spread, slippage and withdrawal charges are excluded.

Sources & calculation method↗

Effective rate = entered fee rate × (1 − eligible rebate ÷ 100). Each estimated fee = one-way trade value × effective rate ÷ 100. Compare the two amounts using their absolute difference.

Source: publisher’s logged-in OKX UAE account, Fees → Spot → All pairs, 24 September 2026. Regular-user maker fee: 0.4000%; taker fee: 0.6000%. The separate Stablecoins tab has exceptions. These account screenshots do not establish rates for every MENA customer.

Fee schedule explained

Source: publisher’s logged-in Binance UAE account, Spot & Margin, 24 September 2026. BNB fee discount off: 0.1000% maker and taker. Discount on: 0.0750% maker and taker. A referral rebate is separate and is not included in these presets.

Existing OKX account

For an existing OKX account, open the account-linking page and enter DXB20. This is different from the code for a new sign-up. An existing referral relationship or regional restrictions may affect eligibility; check the result shown by OKX.

Using OKX on Android

For a new account, use the coded OKX sign-up button on this page and confirm COMPAREFEES is shown before completing registration. This page does not send you to a separate app-download route.

Fee schedule explained

Take the fee rate that applies to your account, including any fee-payment discount. Then apply a referral rebate only if you qualify for it. Compare the same kind of trade on each exchange; the highest rebate percentage may not give you the lowest fee.

Ways to reduce trading fees

Check your account tier, maker or taker rate, fee-payment options and eligible referral rebate. A limit order is not automatically a maker order: it must add liquidity rather than fill immediately.

Understand futures costs

Opening and closing commissions are separate from funding. Estimate each commission using position value and its fee rate. Funding can be paid or received and can change while a position remains open.

Understand fee rebates

A rebate gives you back part of a qualifying trading fee. For example, a 20% rebate on $100 of eligible fees returns $20. It doesn’t repay deposits or trading losses. Check the benefit shown during registration before relying on it.
