<p>Which is weird, because I actually sent only 0.3878 BTC to 16fPHhrdaBuRNPH1YbEqC4fDE8tCUXNmuM, with the remainder 0.00065121 BTC being one of my newly created UTXO whose value was credited back to my wallet.</p>

<p>Why does Ledger Live not show the actual spent amount but instead the gross amount which is the sum of all used UTXOs? How can I only see the spent amount?</p>

Silly me. I figured it out right after I posted the question.

Ledger Live shows the sum of the following:

* Actual spent amount
* The transaction fee

In my case, this is:

* 0.3878 BTC
* 0.00031680 BTC

Which is indeed equal to 0.3881168 BTC. I first got confused by this value because I subtracted 0.00065121 BTC (my newly created UTXO) from 0.38876801 BTC (total input), but this is just a natural mathematical equivalence.
