Cost to send POL on Ethereum: $0.046
Live network fee for a POL (ERC-20) transfer, updated 10 min ago.
Sending POL on Ethereum currently costs about $0.046 in network fees (0.0000169 ETH). The fee is paid in ETH, not in POL: keep a little ETH in the wallet or the transfer will fail.
POL also exists on 1 other network we track. All of them are cheaper right now — the cheapest is POL on Polygon PoS at $0.00075. Only switch networks if the recipient (wallet or exchange deposit address) explicitly supports that network.
The current gas price is 0.260619 gwei (base fee 0.132361 gwei + median tip 0.128258 gwei). A plain ETH transfer uses 21,000 gas, a ERC-20 token transfer about 65,000 gas (upper estimate; transfers to an address that already holds the token use less), and a simple DEX swap about 180,000 gas.
