Gold IRA Fees: Costs to Compare

Gold IRA costs can include account setup, annual administration, storage, transaction charges and the difference between dealer buy and sell prices.

Fee categories

  • One-time IRA setup/application charges.
  • Annual custodian or administration fees.
  • Depository/storage and insurance-related charges.
  • Wire, transaction, shipping or distribution fees where applicable.
  • Dealer pricing and product spreads.

Compare total economics

A low annual fee does not necessarily mean a low-cost transaction if the metal is sold at a large markup. Request a transaction-specific quote and a same-day repurchase indication for the identical product.

For one provider example, see Augusta fees.
