Paste a recipient address to see the Energy, Bandwidth and TRX fee a USDT TRC20 transfer needs, then compare burning TRX with renting Energy.
See the required Energy and the TRX you would burn before you send USDT.
TRON has no gas in the Ethereum sense. It meters two resources instead.
Consumed by smart contract calls. USDT is a contract, so every transfer needs Energy.
Consumed by the raw transaction bytes. Each activated account gets 600 free per day.
If an account lacks either resource, the network burns TRX to cover the gap.
We're building a native iOS app with the same live mainnet calculator, so you can check the cost of a USDT transfer right before you send it.
Common questions about USDT TRC20 fees.
About 64,285 Energy when the recipient already holds USDT, and about 130,285 when the recipient has a zero balance. Exact usage can shift with contract state and network parameters, so adding a sender address runs a live simulation.
When the sender lacks Energy, the network burns TRX at the current Energy price (100 SUN per unit today). Missing Bandwidth is burned at 1,000 SUN per byte. Every activated account receives 600 free Bandwidth per day.
Accounts that stake TRX generate Energy and can delegate it to other addresses for a fee. Rental prices vary by provider and over time. Enter the price you are quoted in the calculator to compare it with the network burn price. This site does not sell or rent Energy.
With only a recipient, the result is an estimate based on that address's current USDT balance. With a sender, we run a read-only simulation of the transfer from that account. On-chain state can still change before you broadcast, so the final cost may differ slightly.
Yes. The calculator only reads public data from TRON mainnet and never asks for a private key or seed phrase. Never paste those into any website.
