# Mempool

## Mempool Average Relative Fee

> \*\*Definition.\*\* The mean relative fee of transactions waiting in the mempool.\n\n\*\*Technical.\*\* The relative fee is calculated as total transaction fees divided by transaction size (in vByte).\n\n\*\*Interpretation.\*\* High relative fees indicate transaction urgency, as miners optimise for fee per size rather than total fee. The total fee a miner can collect from a block is bounded by available block space.\n\
