Bitcoin transaction fee now
A Bitcoin fee is the transaction's size in virtual bytes × the fee rate in sat/vB. The size depends on how many coins (inputs) the wallet spends and how many outputs it creates, and on the address type: SegWit and Taproot inputs are smaller than legacy ones. The amount sent does not matter. Miners pick transactions by fee rate, so the rate needed changes with how full the mempool is.

A Bitcoin fee depends on the transaction's size, not the amount: one SegWit input and two outputs (payment and change).

Questions and answers
How is a Bitcoin transaction fee calculated?
Virtual size × fee rate. A typical payment from one native SegWit input to two outputs (payment and change) is 140.5 vB; at 4 sat/vB that is 562 sat. The size calculator works it out for any number of inputs and outputs.
What does sat/vB mean?
Satoshis per virtual byte. One satoshi is 0.00000001 BTC. Virtual bytes count witness data (signatures in SegWit and Taproot) at a quarter of its size, as BIP-141 defines.
Why is my Bitcoin transaction stuck?
Its fee rate is below what miners are currently taking. It can be bumped with Replace-by-Fee if it signals RBF, or with Child-Pays-for-Parent by spending one of its outputs with a higher fee. The stuck-transaction page does the arithmetic.
