Gold IRA calculator

Estimate the real cost of a Gold IRA before you talk to a provider.

Setup fees, annual account fees, storage, and dealer spreads can change the economics of holding physical metals in a retirement account. Start here, then confirm numbers directly with the provider.

What this calculator includes

  • One-time account setup fees.
  • Annual custodian or administration fees.
  • Annual segregated or non-segregated storage fees.
  • Dealer spread / markup on the metals purchase.

What to verify before opening an account

  • Whether published fees are promotional, flat-rate, tiered, or subject to change.
  • Whether storage is segregated or commingled.
  • What liquidation, shipping, wire, closing, or buyback fees may apply.
  • Whether the metals are IRS-approved for IRA custody.
