Basis trading with Binance as one leg
A funding rate arbitrage trade holds a long perpetual on one exchange and a short on another. Using Binance as one leg, factor in its 0.05% taker fee (or 0.02% maker) when opening and closing that side of the trade: it directly reduces the net spread you capture.
Binance settles funding every 8 hours. Compare its historical rate against the other exchange's to estimate the annualized yield before committing capital to both legs.
Binance fee structure
Binance charges maker fee 0.02% and taker fee 0.05% on perpetual futures. Maximum available leverage is 125×. This calculator pre-fills these defaults so you get accurate results without needing to look up the fee schedule. If you are on a VIP tier with discounted fees, adjust the fee fields accordingly.
Maker orders (limit orders that add liquidity) cost less than taker orders (market orders that remove liquidity). On Binance, using limit orders for both entry and exit can reduce your total fee cost significantly compared to market orders.
Margin mode: you choose Isolated or Cross margin per symbol before opening any position - the mode can’t be changed while orders or a position on that symbol are open. See Binance's official docs →

A delta-neutral strategy where you hold a long perpetual on one exchange and a short on another to capture the funding rate spread. Directional risk cancels out.
How is annualized yield calculated?
Annualized yield = (Short Rate − Long Rate) × periods per day × 365. Example for an exchange on the common 8h funding schedule, with a 0.07% net rate per period: 0.07% × 3 × 365 ≈ 76.65% APY - an hourly-funding exchange has more, smaller periods per day instead.
What are Binance perpetual futures fees?
