The Hedera testnet fees tables found below offer a low-end estimate of transaction and query fees for all network services. The tables below contain USD, HBAR, and Tinybar (tℏ) values per each API call. All operation fees on the Hedera testnet are paid in test HBAR, which is freely available and only useful for development purposes.
Fee estimates are based on assumptions about the details of a specific API call. For instance, the fee for an HBAR cryptocurrency transfer (CryptoTransfer) assumes a single signature on the transaction and the fee for storing a file assumes a 1,000-byte sized file stored for 90 days. Transactions exceeding these base assumptions will be more expensive; we recommend increasing your maximum allowable fee to accommodate additional complexity.
Hedera transaction and query fees follow a base fee + extras model defined by HIP-1261 (Simple Fees). The base fees in the tables below are the starting cost — extras add to that cost based on what the transaction does. See Fee Model for the full explanation, the complete extras list, and worked examples.
Mainnet Fees
Mainnet transaction and query fees can be estimated using the Hedera Fee Estimator. The Fee Estimator allows you to determine fees (in both USD and HBAR, using the current exchange rate live on the mainnet) for individual transactions & queries based on their characteristics, as well as projected costs based on expected volume for those transactions. The estimations may not be 100% accurate and the underlying prices are subject to change without prior notice.
HBAR Denominations and Abbreviations
| Denominations | Abbreviations | Amount of HBAR Cryptocurrency |
|---|
| gigabar | 1 Gℏ | = 1,000,000,000 ℏ |
| megabar | 1 Mℏ | = 1,000,000 ℏ |
| kilobar | 1 Kℏ | = 1,000 ℏ |
| hbar | 1 ℏ | = 1 ℏ |
| millibar | 1,000 mℏ | = 1 ℏ |
| microbar | 1,000,000 μℏ | = 1 ℏ |
| tinybar | 100,000,000 tℏ | = 1 ℏ |
High-Volume Transaction Pricing
The fee tables below reflect standard transaction pricing. If you set the
high_volume flag on a supported entity creation transaction,
a variable-rate multiplier is applied on top of the standard fee. The multiplier
scales with how much of the high-volume throttle capacity is currently in use — from
1.0× at idle to a governance-configured maximum at full utilization.
High-volume fees can be significantly higher than the standard fees listed in these
tables. Always check the current multiplier via the Mirror Node
fee estimation endpoint and set maxTransactionFee
to cap your costs. The estimate reflects the multiplier at the time of the query and
is not guaranteed to match the multiplier applied when your transaction is processed,
use it to gauge current pricing, but expect the actual fee to vary. See the
High-Volume Entity Creation guide
for full details on how variable-rate pricing works. Transaction and Query Fees
All fees are subject to change. The fees below reflect a base price for the transaction or query. Transaction characteristics may increase the price from the base price shown below. Transaction characteristics include having more than one signature, a memo field, etc. Please reference the Hedera fee estimator and the Fee model page to estimate the transaction or query fee.
