<p>The transaction fee is only encoded implicitly in transactions. It is the amount of funds that was added by the inputs, but not assigned to new outputs:</p>
<pre><code>transaction_fee = Σ(inputs) - Σ(outputs)
</code></pre>
<p>There is no clear way to assign the fees to have been paid from specific inputs, any more than you could hand someone a few bills and coins, but then state that only the $10-bill was used to pay the VAT.</p>

<p>When there are more than 1 input, you will need to look at each and every input to determine the total cost of transaction.  Sorry, there is no other way.</p>

<p>Try it first on one input, make sure the values add up (which seems like you have already), then repeat with 2 inputs.  They should add up.</p>

So you're saying that the cost is basically (all the input values) - (all the output values)?

If so who paid for that transaction fee? Every input address paid their share equally?

Isn't it for 1 input?  Do you want the transaction fees?

Yes, each input address paid their own fee.  Not equally.

Can you not get the transaction fee directly?  This seems to indicate you can from a block explorer: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/54655/how-do-i-determine-each-transaction-fee-on-the-blockchain

Yes I know I can get the total transaction fee, I'm just trying to get the "mini transactions" (I guess these are each input/output) from/to/value/cost.
In ethereum each transaction hash(id in bitcoin) has a from/to/value/cost, that I can then calculate the address balance for example.
Not sure how to do that with bitcoin

<p>I'm trying to write a script that parses the entire blockchain into a database. But I'm having issues figuring out how to store what I need to then aggregate the results and build a transaction list per address.</p>

<p>The transaction object I need:
<code><pre>{
  from: "addressA",
  to: "addressB",
  value: 100,
  cost: 0.10,
}
</pre></code></p>

<p>My process so far:
<code><pre>
  // get block transactions
  // for every transaction get information
  // example info (taken from <a href="https://blockchain.info/rawtx/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://blockchain.info/rawtx/</a>$tx_hash):
  // tx "f93e892f2750520576190707250d86fbb9e438e6d2378620e746bb323a8a53f3"

<p>Based on this, if there is only one input, I can add all the output values and then subtract that to the input value, to get the cost.
Problem is on examples like this, where there is more than one input, how do I calculate cost per transaction?</p>

Format transactions into "from", "to", "value" and "cost"

# Format transactions into "from", "to", "value" and "cost"

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-11-05)

I'm trying to write a script that parses the entire blockchain into a database. But I'm having issues figuring out how to store what I need to then aggregate the results and build a transaction list per address.
The transaction object I need:
{
  from: "addressA",
  to: "addressB",
  value: 100,
  cost: 0.10,
}

My process so far:

  // get block transactions
  // for every transaction get information
  // example info (taken from https://blockchain.info/rawtx/$tx_hash):
  // tx "f93e892f2750520576190707250d86fbb9e438e6d2378620e746bb323a8a53f3"

Based on this, if there is only one input, I can add all the output values and then subtract that to the input value, to get the cost.
Problem is on examples like this, where there is more than one input, how do I calculate cost per transaction?

The transaction fee is only encoded implicitly in transactions. It is the amount of funds that was added by the inputs, but not assigned to new outputs:
transaction_fee = Σ(inputs) - Σ(outputs)

There is no clear way to assign the fees to have been paid from specific inputs, any more than you could hand someone a few bills and coins, but then state that only the $10-bill was used to pay the VAT.

When there are more than 1 input, you will need to look at each and every input to determine the total cost of transaction. Sorry, there is no other way.

Try it first on one input, make sure the values add up (which seems like you have already), then repeat with 2 inputs. They should add up.

> **username_0**: Yes I know I can get the total transaction fee, I'm just trying to get the "mini transactions" (I guess these are each input/output) from/to/value/cost. In ethereum each transaction hash(id in bitcoin) has a from/to/value/cost, that I can then calculate the address balance for example. Not sure how to do that with bitcoin
