Blob-carrying transactions have an additional data-resource dimension.
LET’S PICTURE IT
A delivery can charge separately for handling work and a special cargo compartment. One rate does not describe both resources.

This example supplies twenty-one thousand gas used. It is a simple teaching input, not a live estimate of a contract call.
This example supplies twenty-one thousand gas used. It is a simple teaching input, not a live estimate of a contract call.With base ten Gwei, priority cap two and total cap twenty, the effective rate is twelve Gwei per gas.Twenty-one thousand times twelve Gwei gives two hundred fifty-two thousand Gwei, or 0.000252 ETH.The base-fee component is 0.00021 ETH and is burned. The priority component is 0.000042 ETH for the block fee recipient.

Execution remains one component
Ordinary EVM execution uses its gas accounting and fee mechanism. A blob-carrying transaction also commits to additional blob data with separate blob gas and fee rules.
The data has a different access model
Blob data is not ordinary contract calldata that EVM execution can freely read byte by byte. Execution can access relevant commitments and supported mechanisms, while availability is handled through the protocol’s blob design.
Separate caps and markets
Blob pricing has its own mechanism and transaction constraints. Reusing an execution-gas formula as the complete cost of every blob transaction omits a component. Exact parameters can evolve through protocol upgrades.
Keep our calculator’s boundary clear
The local gas tool calculates supplied EIP-1559 execution inputs only. It explicitly excludes blob fees and layer 2 data fees, so its output should not be labeled a universal total transaction quote.
