How much Energy does a USDT transfer need?

Plan with resource tiers, then verify the actual transaction requirements.

There is no universal fixed amount

65,000 and 131,000 are common purchasing tiers, not guarantees of exact consumption. The recipient’s USDT balance, contract state and on-chain parameters can affect usage.

How to use the calculator

The calculator multiplies your selected tier by the number of transfers. It does not simulate a contract or replace estimation when constructing a transaction. Allow room for concurrency and resource availability when sending batches.

Rental expiry matters

Time-based resources can be reclaimed after expiry. Do not rent long before you plan to transfer. An order that previously delivered successfully does not prove the resources are still available now.

Verify delivery before sending

A payment notification or an accepted order is not enough. Check delegation confirmation and the available resources at the sending address. Check Bandwidth too, particularly before broadcasting several transactions.
