How Monero fees work
Monero charges a fee per byte of transaction size. The network suggests a base fee that rises when blocks get full, and your wallet multiplies it by the priority you choose (often shown as low, normal, high or highest). A transaction with one input and two outputs (payment plus change) is about 1.5 kB, so at the usual base fee of 20,000 piconero per byte it costs about 0.00003 XMR, around two US cents at October 2026 prices. More inputs make a transaction larger and more expensive.
Fees go to miners. Received funds are spendable after 10 confirmations (about 20 minutes) whatever fee you paid; see sending Monero. For your own numbers, use the fee calculator, and for the full picture read Monero fees explained.
