# XRP Ledger Fees

XRP Ledger transaction fees are paid in **drops** (1 XRP = 1,000,000 drops).
Fordefi determines the fee automatically; you cannot select or override it.

Fordefi obtains the fee by simulating each transaction against an XRP Ledger
node and using the fee the node returns. This fee reflects current network
conditions and may rise during congestion.

When no valid simulated fee is available (for example, for a `CheckCash`
that depends on a preceding `TrustSet`), Fordefi falls back to a fee of
`12 drops`.

Flows that submit multiple transactions (for example, a `TrustSet` followed
by a `CheckCash`) incur a separately determined fee for each transaction.
