Example — 50,000 SAT Transaction and SUBTC Fee
SUBTC uses satoshis (SAT) as the atomic unit for all calculations.<br>Fees are deterministic and calculated using a fixed 3% service fee.
Example transaction:
Requested amount:<br>50,000 SAT
Service fee (3%):<br>1,500 SAT
Actual amount sent to destination:<br>48,500 SAT
Value reference (example market price):
50,000 SAT ≈ 0.0005 BTC ≈ 36.36 USD
Service fee value:
1,500 SAT ≈ 0.000015 BTC ≈ 1.09 USD
Calculation model:
requested_sat = 50000<br>fee_sat = requested_sat × 0.03<br>sent_sat = requested_sat − fee_sat
Result:
requested_sat = 50000<br>service_fee_sat = 1500<br>sent_sat = 48500
SUBTC always performs these calculations using integer satoshis only to avoid floating-point errors and ensure deterministic results.
