Polygon gas fee now
Polygon prices computation in gas. Fee = gas used × gas price, paid in POL. A plain POL transfer uses 21,000 gas — the fixed cost of a transaction in the Ethereum Yellow Paper (G_transaction). A token transfer such as USDT runs the token contract's code and uses roughly three times as much; the exact figure is measured per token by simulating a transfer.

Questions and answers
How is the Polygon gas fee calculated?
Gas used × gas price. A plain POL transfer uses 21,000 gas; a token transfer uses what the token contract needs. The gas price is read from the network every few minutes and shown above in gwei (1 gwei = 0.000000001 POL).
Why does sending a token on Polygon cost more than sending POL?
A token transfer calls the token's smart contract, which reads and writes its balance table. That code costs gas on top of the 21,000 every transaction pays, so the same gas price gives a higher fee.
Does the amount I send change the Polygon fee?
No. Gas measures computation, not value. Sending 10 or 10,000 of a token costs the same gas.
