Network fee calculator
What the chain itself charges for one transfer. Exchange and wallet fees are not included.
0.000002365 BNB, paid in BNB (not in USDT: the wallet needs some BNB). That is under 0.01 % of the 100 USDT you send.

The same USDT transfer on every chain that carries it
Cheapest right now: Solana at $0.00038. BNB Chain costs 3.9× as much for the same USDT transfer.
Log scale: each gridline is ten times the one before, so a bar twice as long is not twice the fee. Switch to linear for true proportions. Standard speed where a chain has tiers; receiver already active. Chains without a reading are left out.

Method and sources
Fee = resource used × price per unit. The gas, bytes, energy or mass a transfer needs is fixed by the transfer type; the price per unit is read from each chain every few minutes.
The amount sent does not change the fee. Chains charge for computation and data, not for value. 100 USDT and 100,000 USDT cost the same.
USD figure. The native-coin fee times the median of public exchange prices. History is stored from our own readings since the first day; nothing is back-filled. Full method.

Questions and answers
Does the amount I send change the network fee?
No. Chains charge for the computation and the data a transfer needs, not for its value. Sending 100 USDT and 100,000 USDT on the same chain costs the same network fee. The calculator shows the fee as a share of your amount only to make small transfers easier to judge.
Which network is cheapest for sending USDT?
It changes with demand, so the ranking on this page is recomputed from live readings. Pick USDT in the sentence above and the bar chart ranks every chain that carries it, cheapest first. The figure is the network fee only; an exchange may charge its own withdrawal fee on top.
Why do I need ETH (or TRX, SOL, BNB) to send a token?
The network fee is always paid in the chain's own coin. A USDT transfer on Ethereum is paid in ETH, on Tron in TRX, on Solana in SOL. Without some of that coin in the wallet the token transfer cannot be sent.
What do Slow, Standard and Fast mean?
On chains where the price follows demand they re-price the same transfer: on Ethereum-style chains with the 10th, 50th and 90th percentile of recent priority fees on top of the next base fee, on Bitcoin and Litecoin with the fee rates for about an hour, half an hour and the next block. Chains with one measured price have no tiers.
Are these figures exactly what my wallet will charge?
They are the network fee of a standard transfer, read from public nodes every few minutes. A wallet may choose a different speed, a token contract may need more gas, and some wallets add their own service fee. Treat the figure as what the network itself asks right now.
Where do the numbers come from?
From public blockchain nodes and public exchange prices, collected by one data hub every few minutes. Nothing is estimated or filled in: a chain whose reading did not arrive shows no figure. The method page lists the formula and the source for every chain.
