Using the transaction you have now, get its size in kb. Then you can use the `estimatesmartfee` command (read the help text for that command so you can use the correct arguments) to get a feerate in BCH/kb. Using that feerate, multiply it by the transaction size in kb that you got earlier. That's the fee you should pay. Then remake your transaction using that fee.

Since we are using bitcoin-abc client vertion 0.18.5 and there is no `estimatesmartfee`, i use` estimatefee` to calculate it.
Is it better to use use `estimatefee`?
After calculating the fee using `estimatefee`, it  insufficient priority error

Also, the calculation formula I use is below
`` `
(estimatefee result * transaction size) / 1000 = fee (btc)
`` `
Is this calculation wrong?

<p>The input of UTXO transaction being used is 10 pieces, total 0.0082 BTC.
Broadcasting the fee at 0.000012 BTC (sendrawtransaction), the following error occurs.</p>

<pre><code>insufficient priority

<p>Is the fee setting not good?
I do not know the cause.</p>
