# Fees Generation

The Parallel Protocol is generating revenues by taking fees on minted PAR/paUSD. These fees are called "Origination Fee" and "Borrowing Fee".

### Origination Fee

The "Origination Fee" is a fee taken at the moment of the mint of newly PAR/paUSD tokens. The "Origination Fee" is quoted as a percentage of the total newly minted PAR/paUSD.

Origination Fee parameters for each token are available [here](https://docs.parallel.best/products/parallel-v2/how-it-works/vaults/fees/broken-reference).

### Borrowing Fee

The "Borrowing Fee" is a fee taken on the amount of PAR/paUSD minted by against a collateral. The "Borrowing Fee" is automatically added to the borrower's debt at each block. 

Borrowing Fee parameters for each token are available [here](https://docs.parallel.best/products/parallel-v2/how-it-works/vaults/fees/broken-reference).
