Ethereum Gas Fee Percentiles (Live)

What Are Ethereum Gas Fee Percentiles?

FIP percentiles show the distribution of gas prices across recent Ethereum transactions. P50 at 0.05269 GWEI is the median — half of all recent transactions paid this or less. At current ETH price of $2269.18, a standard ETH transfer at P50 costs $0.0025 and a DEX swap costs $0.0215.

P80 at 0.10999 GWEI beats about 80% of recent observed fee levels. This is the standard recommendation for DeFi operations that need reliable but not urgent confirmation. At current prices, this means $0.0052 for a transfer and $0.0449 for a swap.

P85 at 0.12909 GWEI provides near-guaranteed next-block inclusion. Use this for liquidations, arbitrage, and other time-critical operations where missing a block has significant cost.

How Network Intelligence Affects Percentile Choice

The current IPI of 47/100 (MEDIUM) and Fee Competition of 0.989729 GWEI affect how much headroom each percentile actually gives. When IPI is high, even P80 may not guarantee next-block inclusion in a highly competitive environment. When IPI is low (under 30), P50 is often sufficient for reliable inclusion.

The Spike Score of 26/100 indicates how anomalous current fee distribution is. During spikes, the P85–P50 spread widens dramatically as aggressive bidders separate themselves from regular users.

Choosing the Right Gas Price

Non-urgent ETH or token transfers: use P50 (0.05269 GWEI, $0.0025). Standard DeFi operations: P75–P80 (0.0971–0.10999 GWEI, $0.0046–$0.0052). Time-sensitive or MEV-adjacent: P85 (0.12909 GWEI, $0.0062). Current Block Speed Pressure of 60% should inform your urgency assessment.
