Bitcoin gas fees today: $0.237 per BTC transaction
Live Bitcoin network fees in USD, updated 8 min ago.
Bitcoin fees are priced in satoshis per virtual byte (sat/vB): you pay for the size of your transaction, not for the amount sent. Over the last 24 hours this cost ranged from $0.118 to $0.237 (average $0.207 at today's BTC price), so fees are currently 14% above average.
A typical transaction (1 SegWit input, 2 outputs) weighs about 141 vbytes. At the current “next 30 minutes” rate of 2 sat/vB it costs 0.00000282 BTC ($0.237). Fastest confirmation (2 sat/vB) costs $0.237; a patient “economy” rate (1 sat/vB) costs $0.118. The amount you send does not change the fee — the number of inputs does, so consolidating many small UTXOs is more expensive.
