How Avalanche gas fees are calculated

Cost = Gas Price (Base Fee + Tip) × Gas Limit × AVAX Price. Current base fee: 7.724715 GWei. Gas limits are approximate and may vary depending on the contract.

Example: Transfer — 21,000 gas × 9.6206 GWei ≈ 202,034 GWei = 0.000202 AVAX ≈ $0.0017

Gwei to AVAX converter

Type a gas price in gwei to see it in AVAX, wei and USD at the live AVAX price, or type an amount of AVAX to get it in gwei. Gas prices are quoted in gwei; your wallet charges the fee in AVAX.

1 gwei = 0.000000001 AVAX, which is $0.00000000832 at the current AVAX price of $8.32. 1 AVAX = 1,000,000,000 gwei = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 wei.

How to convert gas to AVAX

Fee in AVAX = gas used × gas price in gwei ÷ 1,000,000,000. Multiply the result by the AVAX price to get dollars. Right now the Normal gas price is 9.6206 gwei, so a 21,000-gas transfer costs 21,000 × 9.6206 ÷ 1,000,000,000 = 0.00020203351 AVAX, about $0.00168.

What are Avalanche gas fees?

Avalanche gas fees are the transaction costs paid to validators who process and confirm operations on the Avalanche network. As an EIP-1559 compatible chain, Avalanche fees consist of a base fee (adjusted dynamically per block based on network demand) plus a priority tip that incentivises faster transaction inclusion. The Ethereum gas guide walks through how base fee and priority tip combine, using the same model Avalanche inherits. The cost of a standard transfer (21,000 gas) varies depending on current network congestion and token price.

How to track Avalanche gas prices

This real-time Avalanche gas tracker shows the current cost of transactions at four priority levels: Low, Normal, High and Max. Network congestion is currently at 2.9% (low). Avalanche produces blocks every 1.1s, which means transaction confirmations are very quick. All data is fetched live from the ChainGate API and refreshed automatically every few seconds.

How much does a swap cost on Avalanche?

Transaction costs on Avalanche depend on the operation complexity. A simple native token transfer uses 21,000 gas, while an ERC-20 token transfer requires around 65,000 gas. More complex operations like DEX swaps typically use around 150,000 gas, and NFT mints can use 150,000 gas or more. Use the Avalanche gas fee calculator above to estimate the real-time cost for each operation type at every priority level.

How do I calculate Avalanche gas fees?

Multiply the gas your transaction uses by the gas price in Gwei, then divide the result by 1,000,000,000 to convert Gwei to AVAX. A standard transfer uses 21,000 gas, so at the current 9.62 Gwei it costs about 0.000202 AVAX (~$0.002). Token transfers, swaps and NFT mints use more gas, so they cost proportionally more. The Avalanche gas fee calculator on this page does the calculation with live prices, or with your own gas limit and gas price.

About Avalanche gas fees

This tracker covers the Avalanche C-Chain, the EVM chain where AVAX, stablecoins and DeFi apps live. Gas is paid in AVAX, priced in nAVAX (the same unit as gwei), and every fee is burned. Blocks arrive every couple of seconds and transactions are final almost at once, so the number above rarely stays put for long. The questions below cover what people ask most about Avalanche fees.

What token do you pay Avalanche gas fees in?

Avalanche gas fees are paid in AVAX. The C-Chain prices gas in nAVAX, one billionth of an AVAX, which is why this page can show it in gwei: 1 gwei here is 1 nAVAX. Other Avalanche L1s (formerly subnets) can use their own gas token, so a wallet connected to one of them will quote fees in that token instead.

How are Avalanche C-Chain fees calculated?

The C-Chain uses a dynamic base fee like Ethereum: it rises when blocks are busy and falls when they are quiet, and you add a small priority tip on top. Since the Etna upgrade in December 2024 the minimum base fee is 1 nAVAX, down from 25 before, so a quiet network is far cheaper than it used to be. Every fee is burned rather than paid to validators. A standard transfer uses 21,000 gas, so the cost is gas price multiplied by 21,000, which the calculator above turns into AVAX and USD.

How much cheaper is Avalanche than Ethereum?

Right now a standard transfer costs ~$0.002 on Avalanche versus ~$0.05 on Ethereum mainnet, about 29 times less. The gap widens when mainnet gets busy and narrows when it is quiet, so compare both pages before moving funds.

What is the Avalanche network fee shown in my wallet?

The network fee in MetaMask, Core or any other wallet is this gas fee: the gas your transaction needs multiplied by the current gas price, paid in AVAX. It is not set by the wallet. Moving AVAX between the X-Chain, P-Chain and C-Chain has its own fixed fees, and exchange withdrawal fees are set by the exchange, not by the network. If the wallet quote looks high, check the gas price on this page and pick a lower priority tier.

How does this compare with the Snowtrace gas tracker?

Snowtrace reports the same C-Chain gas price in nAVAX. This page adds the cost in USD for transfers, token transfers, swaps and NFT mints, four priority tiers with expected confirmation times, a calculator that accepts your own gas limit, and a side-by-side comparison with Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum and the other networks on the gas tracker.

How to reduce Avalanche transaction costs

Select "Low" priority when your transaction is not time-sensitive to pay the minimum fee. Transact during off-peak hours when network congestion is lower. You can also compare Avalanche fees with other networks on our multi-network gas station to find the cheapest blockchain for your transaction.
