# Fees

```go
package main

import (
	"math"

	"github.com/bitcoin-sv/go-sdk/transaction"
)

type Example struct {
	Value int
}

func (e *Example) ComputeFee(tx transaction.Transaction) uint64 {
	// Version 3301 transactions are free :)
	if tx.Version == 3301 {
		return 0
	}

	// Compute the (potentially estimated) size of the transaction
	size := 4                                                   // version
	size += transaction.VarInt(uint64(len(tx.Inputs))).Length() // number of inputs
	for i := 0; i < len(tx.Inputs); i++ {
		input := tx.Inputs[i]
		size += 40 // txid, output index, sequence number
		var scriptLength int
		if input.UnlockingScript != nil {
			scriptLength = len(*input.UnlockingScript)
		} else {
			panic("All inputs must have an unlocking script or an unlocking script template for sat/kb fee computation.")
		}
		size += transaction.VarInt(scriptLength).Length() // unlocking script length
		size += scriptLength                              // unlocking script
	}
	size += transaction.VarInt(len(tx.Outputs)).Length() // number of outputs
	for _, out := range tx.Outputs {
		size += 8 // satoshis
		length := len(*out.LockingScript)
		size += transaction.VarInt(length).Length() // script length
		size += length                              // script
	}
	size += 4 // lock time
	fee := float64((size / 1000) * e.Value)

	// Now we apply our input and output rules
	// For the inputs incentive
	if uint64(len(tx.Inputs))/3 >= uint64(len(tx.Outputs)) {
		fee *= 0.8
	}
	// For the outputs penalty
	if uint64(len(tx.Outputs))/5 >= uint64(len(tx.Inputs)) {
		fee *= 1.1
	}

	// We'll use Math.ceil to ensure the miners get the extra satoshi.
	return uint64(math.Ceil(fee))

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bsvblockchain.org/guides/sdks/go/examples/fee_modeling.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
