Ethereum transaction fee

As of October 30, 2026, Ethereum native transfer fee USD is $0.0240 at the median (p50, 24h window), with $1.22 at p90 and $9.47 at p99. Ethereum ranks #16 of 19 chains measured on this benchmark.

Ethereum native transfer fee is $0.0240 (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.
