Ethereum transaction fee

As of June 17, 2026, Ethereum native transfer fee USD is $0.00630 at the median (p50, 24h window), with $0.1083 at p90 and $0.4278 at p99. Ethereum ranks #16 of 20 chains measured on this benchmark.

Ethereum native transfer fee is $0.00630 (p50, 24h). Fees follow EIP-1559: the base fee adjusts by up to 12.5 percent per block from the previous block's gas usage, plus a priority tip set by the user; a plain ETH transfer is 21000 gas. During congested periods (NFT mints, MEV bursts) standard transfers can cost several dollars, while quiet weekends drop the median under 20 cents. Computed as (base + p50 priority) times 21000 gas times live ETH price.
