Transaction Cost is determined by a combination of two factors: gas price and gas limit.

The gas price represents the amount of ether a user is willing to pay per unit of gas, serving as a bid for miners to prioritize the transaction.

The gas limit, on the other hand, is the maximum amount of gas a user is willing to spend on the transaction, ensuring that it doesn't exceed a certain financial threshold.

To calculate the total cost, one multiplies the gas price by the gas limit. For instance, a gas price of 20 gwei paired with a gas limit of 21,000 units would yield a transaction cost.

Applying the formula, 21,000 units multiplied by 20 gwei results in 420,000 gwei. Converting this to ether, it equates to 0.00042 ETH.
