Small amounts: when is the fee under 1 %?
The network fee does not shrink with the amount. So for each chain there is a size of transfer below which the fee takes a noticeable share. Computed from the live fee.

Questions and answers
What is the minimum amount worth sending?
That depends on how much fee you accept. This page shows, per chain, the amount at which the current network fee is exactly 1 % and 0.1 % of what you send. Below it, the fee takes a bigger share.
Is there a minimum amount a chain accepts?
Some chains have rules about tiny outputs: Bitcoin nodes do not relay outputs below the dust limit, and a new XRP Ledger account needs the base reserve. Those are rules about outputs and accounts, not fees, and are explained on each chain's page.
