### eth_estimateGas
Returns an estimate of how much gas is needed for the transaction to complete. The estimate process does not use
gas and is not added to the blockchain as a transaction. The estimate can be greater than the amount of gas that the
transaction actually uses, for reasons including EVM mechanics and node performance.

gas and the transaction is not added to the blockchain. The resulting estimate can be greater than the amount of
gas that the transaction actually uses, for various reasons including EVM mechanics and node performance.
The `eth_estimateGas` call does not send a transaction. You must make a subsequent call to
[eth_sendRawTransaction](#eth_sendRawTransaction) to execute the transaction.
[eth_sendRawTransaction](#eth_sendrawtransaction) to execute the transaction.
**Parameters**
!!!note
The transaction call object parameters are the same as those for [eth_call](#eth_call), except that in `eth_estimateGas`
all fields are optional. If you do not specify a `gas` amount in the transaction call object, Pantheon uses the
`gasLimit` amount from the block at the head of the chain as the upper limit. If the amount of gas needed is higher
than the estimated upper limit, the transaction might not have enough gas to execute.
The transaction call object parameters are the same as those for [eth_call](#eth_call), except that in `eth_estimateGas`,
all fields are optional. Setting a gas limit is irrelevant to the estimation process (unlike transactions, in which gas
limits apply).
