# Pool Creation Fee

> Fetch the pool creation fee from the Factory contract

The following code demonstrates how to accurately the current pool creation fee in HBAR using a combination of JSON RPC and REST API. The pool creation fee is used when [creating a new liquidity pool](/v/developer/saucerswap-v1/liquidity-operations/create-a-new-pool).

<Info>
  The current fee for creating V1 liquidity pools is \$50 USD, paid in HBAR. The exchange rate information is used to accurately determine the equivalent value in HBAR.
</Info>

<Note>
  The **pairCreateFee()** function will return the current fee expressed in **Tinycent** (US).
