How the fee is calculated

A USDT transfer is a smart contract call. It needs Energy and a little Bandwidth. There is no free energy allowance, so without it the network burns TRX: about 100 sun per energy unit (1 TRX = 1,000,000 sun).

  • ~65,000 energy if the recipient already holds USDT;
  • ~131,000 for a new address or an exchange;
  • the amount doesn’t matter: 1 USDT and 10,000 USDT cost the same.

Rental cost = energy volume / 1,000,000 × price in sun. Current rates are on the prices page.

FAQ

Without energy a transfer costs ~6.85 TRX (or ~13.35 TRX to a new address). Renting 65k costs from 2.21 TRX — up to 68% cheaper. Use the calculator to see your monthly numbers.

About 65,000 Energy if the recipient already holds USDT, and about 131,000 if they don’t or if it is an exchange address. The amount you send does not affect it.

Almost never if you need 65k energy or more and have 10 seconds to buy it. Burning makes sense only for an urgent single transfer when you cannot pay for rental.

No, the network does not return burned TRX. Buy energy before the transfer.

Prices are dynamic; the calculation is an estimate.
