Scaled Fee
Gold IRA Glossary
An annual custodian or storage fee calculated as a percentage of your account or metal value, in contrast to a flat fee that stays the same regardless of size. Scaled fees can start lower for small accounts but grow as holdings grow, while flat fees favor larger balances. Comparing the two structures at your expected account size shows which costs less over time.
