Fee rate by confirmation target

140 vB × fee rate · 1 BTC = $77,219.73

Bitcoin fees are paid per virtual byte (vB) of transaction size, not per amount sent. Fee = size in vB × fee rate.
Size depends on the number of inputs and outputs and the address type: a typical 1-in 2-out SegWit transfer is ~140 vB; legacy inputs are larger.
Miners fill each block (up to 4M weight units) with the highest fee-rate transactions first, so the tiers show what it takes to confirm in ~1, ~3 or ~6 blocks.
If a transaction is stuck you can bump it with replace-by-fee (RBF) when it was sent as replaceable, or with child-pays-for-parent by spending its output.
Fees are collected by the miner alongside the block subsidy; nothing is burned.
