# Host Fees

You have the option to charge a fee to Collectives who use your services as fiscal host.

## Setting the host fee

Go to edit host > advanced to change the host fee. Put 0% if you do not want to charge a fee to your Collectives. This is the commission charges on donations made to Collectives in your host through the platform.

## Fees for manual transactions

When you [add funds manually](/metadocumentation/fiscal-hosts/add-funds-manually.md), you have the option to charge a custom host fee. You may wish to vary the fee depending on the circumstance, such as an agreement to not charge fees for a certain grant, or an extra charge for manual bank processes.

## Accounting for Host fees

Host admins will receive a monthly host report, including an accounting of host fees.

Many hosts opt to add host fees to a Collective, in order to account for income and expenses transparently. To do so, [create a Collective](/metadocumentation/collectives/create-collective.md) under your host, and [manually add](/metadocumentation/fiscal-hosts/add-funds-manually.md) the fees to it each month.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentarians.gitbook.io/metadocumentation/fiscal-hosts/fiscal-host-fees.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
