Cost per Cryptocurrency Transaction Fee Calculator
Explanation
How to calculate the cost of cryptocurrency transaction fees?
The cost of a cryptocurrency transaction fee can be calculated using the following formula:
Transaction Fee Amount:
§§ \text{Fee Amount} = \frac{\text{Transaction Amount} \times \text{Transaction Fee Percentage}}{100} §§
where:
- § \text{Fee Amount} § — the amount charged as a transaction fee
- § \text{Transaction Amount} § — the total amount of the cryptocurrency transaction
- § \text{Transaction Fee Percentage} § — the percentage fee charged for the transaction
Total Cost of the Transaction:
§§ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Transaction Amount} + \text{Fee Amount} §§
This formula allows you to determine the total cost of a cryptocurrency transaction, including the fee.
Example:
- Transaction Amount (§ \text{Transaction Amount} §): $100
- Transaction Fee Percentage (§ \text{Transaction Fee Percentage} §): 2%
Calculating the fee amount:
§§ \text{Fee Amount} = \frac{100 \times 2}{100} = 2 \text{ USD} §§
Calculating the total cost:
§§ \text{Total Cost} = 100 + 2 = 102 \text{ USD} §§
