Sending XRP: Step-by-Step Cost Breakdown

Understanding the total cost of an XRP transfer requires knowing both network and platform fees.
Network Fee
0.00001 XRP burned on every transaction — the only mandatory cost on XRPL.
Wallet Reserve
New wallets require a 1 XRP minimum reserve (not a fee, just locked balance).
Exchange Fee
If using an exchange, add their withdrawal fee (typically 0.25–1 XRP).

For wallet-to-wallet transfers: total cost = 0.00001 XRP + 0 exchange fee.
REMITTANCE

XRP for Global Money Transfers

Traditional wire transfers via SWIFT cost $15–$50 per transaction and take 1–5 business days. XRP transfers complete in 3–5 seconds for a fraction of a cent. For remittance corridors — such as sending money from the US to Southeast Asia — XRP's cost advantage is transformative.

XRP users around the world rely on the XRP Ledger's ultra-low fees for remittances, cross-border payments, and everyday transfers. The combination of speed, cost, and finality makes XRP uniquely suited for replacing legacy payment infrastructure.
