Why funding history matters
The current funding rate is a snapshot. The history tells you the real cost of holding a position and how long a crowd has been one-sided. A coin that has paid positive funding on 95% of payments for a month has a persistently crowded long side. A sudden flip to negative after weeks of positive funding is often the first sign that sentiment has turned.
How the numbers are calculated
- Paid over 7 / 30 days: the sum of every funding rate in the window. A long position pays this percentage of its size when positive and receives it when negative.
- Annualised: the 30-day average rate × payments per day × 365. Most coins settle every 8 hours (3 payments a day); some settle every 4 hours or every hour, which the tool detects.
- Payments positive: the share of payments where longs paid shorts.
Example: if a coin's funding added up to +3% over 30 days, a $10,000 long paid about $300 to stay open, before trading fees. Work it through step by step in how to calculate funding fees.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I see funding rate history for Binance futures?
On this page: choose a coin or type its ticker to load every funding payment from the last 30 days from Binance's public API.
How is annualised funding calculated?
Average funding per payment over 30 days × number of payments per day × 365. A coin averaging 0.01% every 8 hours annualises to about 11%.
Why do some coins pay funding every 4 hours or 1 hour?
Binance shortens the interval on coins with extreme or volatile funding, so the rate can adjust faster. The tool reads each coin's interval automatically.
Does a long always pay funding?
No. When funding is negative, shorts pay longs. The chart shows positive payments in gold and negative in teal.
