Per the subject; TU cost to transfer equipment or reload (if ammo is selected) might highlight and display when mousing over an inventory slot or weapon.

just incase you didn't know, a reload is a flat 15TUs to an empty weapon regardless of where the ammo is.
I know it's not a solution but... knowledge is power and all that

Yup, that's why carrying reloads in your backpack is better than on your belt. Keep the low TU cost storage for things like grenade. (but shoulder slots are even a tiny bit better for carrying grenades).
You can find all the information here: https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Inventory_TU_Table (https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Inventory_TU_Table)
It could be neat to have the game display cost to move an item from where it was next to the name of each slots, like changing the name from "Left Shoulder" to "Left Shoulder: 10 TUs" if the item is currently in the left hand.

On UFO2000 this has been standard, all along. It always shows you, how much it costs, to put an item somewhere, when grabbing it. I find that useful. Would be even nicer, if one could toggle that on and off, just for considerations of preference.

I am in favour of displaying TU cost somewhere (but where, that is a question), but mostly in regard to inventory mods. The basic vanilla is straightforward enough to learn easily over battles, and isn't really that important anyway - all costs are quite forgiving.

Well, that's the way it looks with UFO2000:
