Gas Fee Calculator

Calculate Ethereum transaction gas fees in ETH and USD

About Gas Fee Calculator

Every transaction on Ethereum requires gas — a unit of computational effort. The total transaction fee equals (gas limit × gas price) + (gas limit × priority fee). Gas limit represents the maximum computation units the transaction can consume (21,000 for a simple ETH transfer, more for smart contract interactions). Gas price is how much you are willing to pay per unit of gas, denominated in Gwei.

Since EIP-1559, Ethereum transactions include a base fee (set by the protocol and burned) and an optional priority fee (tip) paid to validators. This calculator combines both to show the total cost in Wei, Gwei, ETH, and USD, giving you a complete picture before you submit a transaction.

How to estimate gas

For a simple ETH transfer, use a gas limit of 21,000. For ERC-20 token transfers, 65,000 is a common estimate. Complex DeFi interactions like Uniswap swaps may use 150,000–300,000 gas. NFT mints vary widely. Check the gas estimate from your wallet or the contract's documentation for a more precise figure.

Frequently asked questions

What is gas limit vs gas price?

Gas limit is the maximum computation units your transaction can use. Gas price (in Gwei) is how much you pay per gas unit. Total fee = gas used × (base fee + priority fee).

What is a priority fee?

The priority fee (tip) is an extra amount per gas unit paid to validators to incentivize including your transaction faster. It was introduced with EIP-1559.

How much gas does a simple transfer use?

A basic ETH transfer uses exactly 21,000 gas. Token transfers typically use 50,000–65,000. Complex DeFi operations can use 150,000 or more.
