FIP Percentile Table
| Percentile | GWEI | ETH Transfer Cost | DEX Swap Cost | Inclusion Probability | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P50 (Median) | 0.10718 | $0.0047 | $0.0404 | 50% | Non-urgent transfers, patient DeFi |
| P70 | 0.12125 | $0.0053 | $0.0457 | 70% | Standard non-urgent operations |
| P75 | 0.127 | $0.0056 | $0.0479 | 75% | Reliable standard inclusion |
| P80 | 0.13276 | $0.0058 | $0.0501 | 80% | DeFi operations, time-sensitive |
| P85 | 0.14129 | $0.0062 | $0.0533 | 85%+ | Urgent, liquidations, arbitrage |
Network Context for These Percentiles
| Signal | Value | Effect on Percentiles |
|---|---|---|
| IPI | 46/100 (MEDIUM) | Higher IPI compresses percentiles upward |
| Spike Score | 35/100 | Spike events widen P50–P85 spread |
| Fee Competition | 0.931914 GWEI | High spread: P85 gives more headroom vs bots |
| Block Speed Pressure | 60% | High BSP: P50 may need to be P70 for reliable inclusion |

What Are Ethereum Gas Fee Percentiles?
FIP percentiles show the distribution of gas prices across recent Ethereum transactions. P50 at 0.10718 GWEI is the median — half of all recent transactions paid this or less. At current ETH price of $2095.66, a standard ETH transfer at P50 costs $0.0047 and a DEX swap costs $0.0404.
P80 at 0.13276 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 $0.0058 for a transfer and $0.0501 for a swap.
P85 at 0.14129 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 46/100 (MEDIUM) and Fee Competition of 0.931914 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 35/100 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 (0.10718 GWEI, $0.0047). Standard DeFi operations: P75–P80 (0.127–0.13276 GWEI, $0.0056–$0.0058). Time-sensitive or MEV-adjacent: P85 (0.14129 GWEI, $0.0062). Current Block Speed Pressure of 60% should inform your urgency assessment.
