Gas Fee Calculator
Sending ETH on Ethereum costs about $0.01 right now at the standard gas price. Pick an action to compare its cost on six networks, from gas prices read 5 min ago.
What this costs on each network
| Network | Gas price | Fee | In USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| OP Mainnet* | 0.0000 gwei | 5.41e-11 ETH | < $0.01 |
| Base* | 0.0061 gwei | 1.28e-7 ETH | < $0.01 |
| Polygon PoS | 324 gwei | 0.00680 POL | < $0.01 |
| BNB Smart Chain | 0.050 gwei | 0.00000105 BNB | < $0.01 |
| Arbitrum One* | 0.020 gwei | 4.20e-7 ETH | < $0.01 |
| Ethereum | 0.243 gwei | 0.00000510 ETH | $0.014 |
Fee = 21,000 gas × gas price. * Base, Arbitrum and OP Mainnet also charge an L1 data fee for posting the transaction to Ethereum; it is not included here, so the real cost on those networks is higher.
How the numbers are worked out
For each network the table multiplies the gas an action uses by the current gas price, then converts the result to dollars with the coin price from CoinGecko. A native-coin transfer uses exactly 21,000 gas by protocol rule. Token sends, swaps and mints are typical values, because the real amount depends on the token or app contract; your wallet shows the exact estimate before you sign.
For one network in more detail, see the gas tracker. To convert units or enter your own gas price, use the gwei calculator.
FAQ
How is a gas fee calculated?
Gas used multiplied by the gas price. A plain transfer of the native coin always uses 21,000 gas; token transfers, swaps and mints depend on the contract. The gas price is the network base fee plus the tip you choose.
Why is the same action cheaper on some networks?
Each network has its own gas price and its own coin. The gas used by the same contract call is similar across EVM networks, but the price per unit of gas and the coin price differ, so the dollar cost differs.
Is the fee on Base or Arbitrum really this low?
Not exactly. Layer 2 networks also charge an L1 data fee for posting transaction data to Ethereum. This calculator shows only the execution part, so the total on an L2 is higher than the table shows.
How fresh are these numbers?
Gas prices are read from each network over RPC every 5 minutes (eth_feeHistory over the last 20 blocks), and coin prices come from CoinGecko. The page shows how old the snapshot is.
