You don't pay addition fee when you use change address because the output will be only the receiver's address and your sending address (if you don't use change address) or your change address, same outputs I mean.

What is the "Change" address on bitcoin wallet ? read to know !

You pay more fees when your bitcoins get spread across many different wallets caused by using change addresses.

If your wallet has 1 btc and its gotten spread across multiple wallets "for privacy" this happens when you spend btc. Change addresses.

So you have 1 btc but now its in multuple addresses, so if you spend it you end up paying higher feess than if it sat in 1 single address.

Not sure why people keep trying to argue about something so simple.  Roll Eyes
