Rough typical costs for sending USDT. Fees change with network congestion — treat this as a planning aid, not a live quote.
| Network | Typical fee | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| BEP20 (BNB Chain) | ~$0.05–0.30 | Small payouts, low fee |
| TRC20 (Tron) | ~$1–2 (energy-dependent) | Wide exchange support |
| ERC20 (Ethereum) | ~$1–15+ | DeFi / when payer only has ETH |
| Arbitrum USDC/USDT | ~$0.05–0.40 | Small EVM amounts |
Tip for freelancers: tell the payer which chain before they send. Wrong network = lost funds.
