**Binance pays funding per market 1h / 4h / 8h (API fundingInfo) (most common market setting: 4h (435), 8h (132), 1h (1)).**

As of 2026-10-10 15:07 UTC. Source: https://perpspec.com/answers/binance-funding-interval

Formula: premium index average + clamp(0.01% - premium, ±0.05%); interval shortened when caps are hit. Positive funding means longs pay shorts. Because exchanges pay every 1, 4 or 8 hours, compare annualized rates, not raw ones.
