# Fees

When utilizing a bridge to transfer assets between different blockchain networks, it's important to note that bridging fees can vary based on multiple factors and can be summarised as per the below.

`total_fee = service_fee + volume_fee + destination_broadcast_fee`

The final fee will be quoted in the widget based on network, amount and token parameters that are selected. 

### Service and volume fee

The bridge typically applies a flat fee structure for amounts up to 1000 USD equivalent, beyond which a fixed percentage is added on top. 

| Amount                         | Fee                     |
| ------------------------------ | ----------------------- |
| <= 1000 USD equivalent         | Fixed $3 USD            |
| Great than 1000 USD equivalent | Fixed $3 USD plus 0.2 % |

For example:

* a user bridging 500 USD equivalent in ETH would pay just $3 USD
* another a user bridging 2000 USD equivalent in ETH would pay $3 USD + (0.001 \* 2000) = $5&#x20;

Note that these amounts are for mainnet chains, testnet chains have a much reduced testing fee 0.01 USD equivalent

### Destination broadcast fee

Additional fees may be charged based on the specific destination network and the prevailing gas costs required to complete the bridging process.&#x20;
