  Gas fees for Ethereum transactions are determined by several factors. Firstly, the complexity of the transaction plays a role. More complex transactions require more computational resources and therefore result in higher gas fees. Additionally, the current network congestion also affects gas fees. During periods of high demand, gas fees tend to increase. The gas price set by the user also impacts the fees. Users can choose to set a higher gas price to prioritize their transaction's inclusion in the next block, but this will result in higher fees. Lastly, the gas limit set for the transaction determines the maximum amount of gas that can be used. If the gas limit is too low, the transaction may fail or be delayed. It's important to consider these factors when estimating gas fees for Ethereum transactions.
