Calculate your effective fee rate from a CSV
Guide revised: . Data verification dates are shown separately in the guide and sources.
Effective fee rate is net trading fees ÷ executed notional, in the same currency. Net fees are debits minus rebates. Do this per fee currency. The table below is a labeled fictitious sample, not a customer file.
Fictitious sample (7 fills)
Period label: 01-07 Jun 2024. All commissions in USDT. Positive commission is a fee paid. Negative is a rebate. Zero is a fill with no commission in this sample.
| id | symbol | notional (USDT) | commission | role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1001 | BTCUSDT | 6,500 | 3.25 | taker |
| 1002 | ETHUSDT | 7,000 | 3.5 | taker |
| 1003 | BTCUSDT | 3,260 | 0.652 | maker |
| 1004 | SOLUSDT | 3,200 | 1.6 | taker |
| 1005 | BTCUSDT | 5,184 | -0.2 | maker |
| 1006 | ETHUSDT | 5,280 | 0 | taker |
| 1007 | BTCUSDT | 7,860 | 3.93 | taker |
The arithmetic
- Sum notionals: 38,284 USDT.
- Sum debit fees: 12.932 USDT. Sum rebate credits: 0.2 USDT.
- Net trading fees: 12.932 − 0.2 = 12.732 USDT.
- Effective rate: 12.732 ÷ 38,284 = 0.0333%.
Per-currency rule: if any commission asset is not USDT, do not mix it into this USDT rate. Convert only when you have an explicit price for that asset at fill time. FeeEdge's audit keeps totals by currency instead of inventing a conversion.
Maker vs taker check on this fictitious sample: the example account rates are 0.02% maker / 0.05% taker. These are hypothetical inputs, not a verified current Binance account quote. Fill 1001 is 3.25 ÷ 6,500 = 0.05% (taker). Fill 1003 is 0.652 ÷ 3,260 = 0.02% (maker). Fill 1005 is a 0.20 USDT rebate on 5,184 USDT notional. Fill 1006 paid 0 on 5,280 USDT, so the period effective rate is below a pure 0.05% taker book.

The downloadable fictitious CSV and interactive sample report use the seven fills above. No account or personal export is needed to explore the example.
The report rounds the effective rate to 3.33 basis points. One basis point is 0.01 percentage points: the unrounded calculation above is about 0.0333%. Net trading fees already subtract the 0.2 USDT rebate; do not subtract it again. A finding compares the same fills with the rates entered for their dates, not automatically with today's advertised fees.
What this number is not
- Not funding, spread, or withdrawal cost.
- Not a VIP tier by itself. Compare it with the rates on your account.
- Not proof of overcharge. Rounding, BNB payment, and promos can move a fill away from the advertised Regular book.
