Gas Fee Optimizer
Calculate the real cost of your Ethereum transactions in USD.
How This Tool Works
Ethereum gas fees fluctuate wildly. A transaction that costs $5 on Sunday might cost $50 on Tuesday during an NFT drop. This tool helps you convert abstract "Gwei" numbers into real dollar costs for different types of actions.
- Simple Transfer (21k Gas): Moving ETH from wallet to wallet. Cheapest action.
- Uniswap Swap (~150k Gas): Trading tokens. Much more expensive due to contract complexity.
- NFT Mint (~250k+ Gas): Extremely expensive, often causing "Gas Wars."
How to Use
- Input Gas Price: Check a tracker like Etherscan for current Gwei (e.g., 20).
- Input ETH Price: Current market price of Ethereum.
- Select Transaction: What are you trying to do? Swap? Bridge?
- Calculate: See the estimated cost instantly.
Example Scenario
Gas is 30 Gwei. ETH is $2,000.
You want to swap on Uniswap (150,000 gas).
• Cost in ETH: 0.0045 ETH
• Cost in USD: $9.00
Why This Matters
Don't get stuck with a failed transaction or pay $50 for a $20 swap. Use this tool to check if it's a good time to transact.
Limitations & Disclaimer
• Gas limits are estimates. Complex transactions may use more.
• Prices change second-by-second. Always double-check your wallet before confirming.
FAQs
Historically, weekends (Saturday/Sunday) and late nights UTC (when the USA and Europe are asleep) have the lowest network congestion and fees.
Smart contracts like Uniswap are complex. A simple ETH transfer costs 21,000 gas, but a swap can cost 150,000+ gas because it involves multiple calculations on the blockchain.
Gwei is a denomination of Ether. 1 Gwei = 0.000000001 ETH. It is used to measure gas prices.
