Gold IRA Digest covers the gold IRA category for people deciding whether one belongs in their retirement plan, and publishes 12 calculators and 11 reference guides toward that decision. Most readers arrive having already taken a sales call, which shapes what this site publishes more than anything else about it.
What this is
A gold IRA is a self-directed retirement account holding physical metal, with a custodian administering the account and an IRS-approved depository storing the coins. That means 3 companies are usually involved rather than 1, each charging a separate setup fee, storage fee or markup over spot, and the total is hard to work out in advance because most of the category publishes no full schedule.
That gap is the reason this site exists. The calculators here let you price a transfer before anybody quotes you, and the reference guides cover the mechanics a dealer's free kit tends to leave until the call.
What we publish
- Calculators that price a rollover, check a coin quote against spot, and size an allocation.
- Dealer assessments covering cost, minimums, regulator record, complaints, and fit.
- Reference guides on rollover mechanics, IRS-approved metals, fees, and the common scams.
- Live gold and silver prices, written into each page when it builds rather than fetched by script afterwards.
Every figure carries the source it came from and the date it was read, and where a number is estimated rather than published the page says so, which is set out in full in the methodology.
Who writes it
Everything here is published by the Gold IRA Digest editorial team and attributed to the organisation rather than to an individual byline. Where research is credited to a named person in future, that will be a real person with a real record, because inventing an expert to sign a page is one of the practices this site was built to document.
What we are not
We do not sell metal, hold accounts, or take a fee from readers, and we are not a dealer, a custodian, a broker, or a registered investment adviser, which means nothing published here is investment, tax, or legal advice and none of it accounts for your own position.
There are no customer reviews or star ratings on this site, because we have no customers. Assessments here are editorial judgement, which is a different thing from consumer testimony and is labelled as such wherever it appears. How the site earns is set out on the disclosure page.
