USDT Transfer Calculator

Calculate energy and bandwidth for TRC20 transfers.

How It Works

Every USDT transfer on the TRON network consumes Energy and Bandwidth. If you don't have enough, the network burns your TRX, which is often more expensive.

  1. The network checks if the receiver has USDT balance. Transfers to addresses with zero USDT require more energy.
  2. It checks your wallet for available Energy and Bandwidth.
  3. If you have enough resources, they are used for free.
  4. If not, TRX is burned to cover the cost.

This tool helps you know the exact requirements beforehand, allowing you to save money by renting energy instead of burning TRX.

Cost Comparison

Here's the exact cost breakdown for USDT transfers based on receiver status:

Method
Receiver Has USDT
Receiver Has no USDT
Burning TRX (Default)
13.84 TRX
27.70 TRX
Renting Energy
2-3 TRX
4-5 TRX
Potential Savings

80+%
Exact burn costs: 13.84 TRX (has USDT) / 27.70 TRX (no USDT). Rental costs vary based on market conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do some transfers cost more?

If the receiving address has zero USDT balance at the time of transfer, the TRON network requires double the energy (65,000 vs 131,000). This applies even if the address previously held USDT but currently has a zero balance, making transfers to addresses without USDT more expensive.

What is Bandwidth?

Bandwidth is another TRON network resource, mainly used for the size of the transaction in bytes. Every account gets a free daily allowance of 600 Bandwidth, which is more than enough for several standard USDT transfers (which use about 345 Bandwidth).

Is renting energy safe?

Yes, it's 100% safe. Renting involves another user "delegating" or "staking" their TRX to provide you with Energy. They cannot access your funds or keys. The process is native to the TRON blockchain.
