# Staking pool fees

The share of your staking rewards a pool keeps, and where the fee is set.

A pool fee is the share of your rewards the pool keeps. app.leather.io shows it in the "Fee" column.

* Most pools set the fee in their signer-manager contract. The contract can limit how high it goes and when a change applies. A coming change shows as "From cycle" and the cycle number.
* A pool with a custodial BTC payout applies its fee when it pays you off chain. That fee is the operator's policy and can change without a contract change.
* A "Self-claim only" pool takes no fee. In exchange, it never claims rewards for you.

Check the fee on the pool page before you stake.
