TRC20 Fee: Real-Time USDT Transfer Costs
After Proposal #104, sending USDT to a non-empty wallet costs ~6.4 TRX; empty wallets cost ~13.4 TRX.
The TRC20 fee is paid in TRX and calculated from two TRON resources: Energy (for smart contract execution) and Bandwidth (for transaction size). A typical USDT TRC20 transfer consumes ~345 Bandwidth points and 65,000–130,000 Energy units. Fees halved in August 2025 after TRON Proposal #104 reduced the energy unit price from 210 sun to 100 sun.
