How to estimate a gas fee

  1. Pick the networkChoose the chain and enter its token price.
  2. Enter gas pricesBase fee and priority fee in gwei from your wallet or a gas tracker.
  3. Choose the transactionUse a preset gas amount or enter your own.

Understanding gas

Every operation on an EVM blockchain costs a fixed amount of gas. A plain ETH transfer is always 21,000 gas; token transfers, swaps and mints run smart contract code and use more.

The price of each unit of gas changes with demand. Since EIP-1559 the base fee adjusts automatically from block to block, and users add a priority fee to be included faster.

Gwei

1 gwei = 10^-9 ETH.

Gas units

Work done by the transaction.

Fee

Gas used x price per gas.

Gas fee FAQ

How is a gas fee calculated?

Fee = gas used x (base fee + priority fee). Gas prices are quoted in gwei, where 1 gwei = 0.000000001 ETH. For example 21,000 gas x 20 gwei = 420,000 gwei = 0.00042 ETH.

What is the difference between gas limit and gas used?

The gas limit is the most your transaction may use; gas used is what it actually consumed. You only pay for gas used, but the maximum fee you authorise is gas limit x max fee per gas.

What is the priority fee?

A tip to the block producer, added on top of the base fee, to get included sooner. The base fee is burned on Ethereum.

Why is my fee on a layer 2 different?

Rollups like Arbitrum, Optimism and Base also charge an L1 data fee for posting data to Ethereum. This estimator covers the execution fee only.

Where do I find the current gas price?

Your wallet shows it before you confirm, and block explorers publish gas trackers. Enter those numbers here; this page does not fetch live prices.
