How much TRX does it cost to send USDT on TRON today, and how much can you save by paying the fee in USDT instead?
The amount of USDT you send does not change the network fee.
Updated 4 Nov 2026, 02:26 pm IST · TRON energy price 100 sun per unit · estimates only, the app shows the exact fee before you send.
| Receiver | Normal wallet (TRX burned) | CoinExle (fee in USDT) |
|---|---|---|
| Already holds USDT | 6.5 TRX ≈ ₹198.32 | 1.67 USDT ≈ ₹158.07 |
| New address | 13.1 TRX ≈ ₹399.68 | 2.35 USDT ≈ ₹222.43 |
Energy used: about 65,000 for a normal transfer and 1,31,000 for a new address. In CoinExle, after 5 paid gasless transfers in a day (IST), the next one that day is free.
From a normal TRON wallet with no energy, one USDT transfer burns about 6.5 TRX (≈ ₹198.32) when the receiver already holds USDT, and about 13.1 TRX (≈ ₹399.68) when the receiver has never held USDT. TRON currently charges 100 sun per unit of energy. These numbers are live and change with the TRON network price.
USDT on TRON is a smart contract. Every transfer uses "energy", and a wallet without energy pays for it by burning TRX. That is why most wallets ask you to buy TRX first, even if you only want to send USDT.
Yes. In CoinExle Wallet you can pay the network fee in USDT instead of TRX. The app rents the energy for you, so you do not need to hold any TRX. After 5 paid gasless transfers in a day (India time), your next one that day is free.
If the receiver has never held USDT, the USDT contract has to create a new balance entry for them, which uses about twice the energy of a normal transfer.
It is an estimate from live TRON network prices. The exact fee is shown in the app before you confirm a transfer. Bandwidth is usually covered by the 600 free bandwidth points TRON gives every account each day.
