Work out Gas Fee. The fee has nothing to do with the amount you send. States the assumption instead of hiding it.
Fee per transaction

0.000462 native · 22 gwei × 21,000 gas
The fee is gas price times gas used, and it is completely independent of the amount being sent. That is what makes it so punishing on small transfers — a fixed fee is a rounding error on a large transaction and can exceed the value of a small one entirely. Gas used depends on what the transaction does. A simple transfer is 21,000; a token transfer is typically 45,000 to 65,000; a complex contract interaction can be several hundred thousand. The base fee moves with congestion and the priority fee is what you offer to jump the queue. Batching is the main lever available. Doing ten operations in one transaction costs far less than ten separate transactions, because the fixed overhead is paid once — which is why rollups and batch contracts exist at all.
How the Gas Fee Calculator works
Transaction fee from gas price and gas used, in native token and fiat, with the cost of a batch. The fee is independent of the amount sent, which is what makes it so punishing on small transfers.

Frequently asked questions
How is a gas fee calculated?
Gas price times gas used. Gas price is in gwei — a billionth of the native token — and gas used depends on what the transaction does, not on how much it moves.
How much gas does a transaction use?
A simple transfer is 21,000. A token transfer is typically 45,000 to 65,000, and a complex contract interaction can run to several hundred thousand.
What is the difference between base fee and priority fee?
The base fee moves automatically with network congestion and is burned; the priority fee is what you offer validators to include your transaction sooner. Both are per unit of gas.
Why do small transfers cost so much proportionally?
Because the fee is fixed regardless of value. A 2 fee is a rounding error on a 50,000 transfer and exceeds the value of a 1 transfer entirely.
How do I reduce gas costs?
Batch operations into a single transaction, transact when the network is quiet, or use a layer-2 rollup where the fixed cost is shared across many users' transactions.
