# Mint fee
### Mint fee explained
The mint fee is a straightforward percentage fee applied whenever a user mints new DTF tokens.
#### Simplified calculation
The calculation is a simple percentage of the mint amount:
```
fee_amount = mint_amount * mint_fee_percentage
user_receives = mint_amount - fee_amount
```
This is the user-facing economic model. Contract integrations must also match the Folio's upward integer rounding. See the [native mint integration guide](/core-components/index-dtfs/minting-and-redeeming/native-mint-and-redeem-integration.md#2-calculate-net-shares-and-minsharesout) for the calculation.
#### Example
* User mints 100 $COIN50
* Mint fee = 1%
* User receives 99 $COIN50
* 1 $COIN50 is set aside for fee recipients

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.reserve.org/core-components/index-dtfs/fees/mint-fee.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
