Fees were broken down into [three components](https://developers.flow.com/learn/concepts/variable-transaction-fees) - ‘*Inclusion Fee*’ that accounts for the resources required to process a transaction due to the transaction’s core properties (byte size, number of signatures); ‘Execution Fee’ that accounts for the operational cost of running the transaction script, processing the results, sending results for verification, generating verification receipt, etc; and a *Surge* factor as a multiplicative factor to dynamically account for network pressure and market conditions.
