Ethereum · Layer 2 · Transaction Cost Estimator
Adjust gas price to simulate different network conditions
| Transaction Type | Gas Units | Cost (USD) |
|---|
Typical cost for a token transfer vs Ethereum mainnet
| Network | Type | Transfer Cost | vs L1 |
|---|
| Tip | Savings |
|---|---|
| Transact during low-activity hours (weekends, late night UTC) | 30-60% |
| Use Layer 2 rollups (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base) | 90-99% |
| Batch transactions when possible | 20-40% |
| Set gas limit carefully (don't overpay) | 5-15% |
| Use EIP-1559 priority fee wisely | 10-30% |
| Operation | Gas Units | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ETH Transfer | 21,000 | Fixed, simplest tx |
| ERC-20 Transfer | 65,000 | Token sends |
| Uniswap Swap | 150,000 | Varies by pool |
| NFT Mint | 200,000 | Varies by contract |
| NFT Transfer | 85,000 | ERC-721 standard |
| Contract Deploy | 1,000,000+ | Highly variable |
| Bridge to L2 | 100,000 | Deposit to rollup |
⚠️ Gas fees are estimates based on typical gas unit consumption. Actual costs vary with network congestion, contract complexity, and EIP-1559 dynamics. Always verify fees in your wallet before confirming transactions.
