Advantage Gold fees on a $50,000 rollover come to $250 in year one and $2,050 over ten years. Of the year-one figure, $50 opens the account and $200 covers administration and storage, while the metal is priced separately, at the quote Advantage Gold gives you when you order with its markup inside it, so ask for that figure in writing before the account funds.
Every figure on this page is calculated from Advantage Gold’s fee schedule as of April 17, 2026, using the same cost model as our fee calculator. That means you can put your own balance into the calculator and get the same fee total this page gives for $50,000, then add the markup you were quoted.
Year one on $50,000
The first year costs the most because it carries the setup fee, which is paid only once.
| Line item | Basis | Year one |
|---|---|---|
| Account setup | One time | $50 |
| Annual administration | Flat, every year | $100 |
| Storage, commingled | Flat, every year | $100 |
| Total, year one | $250 |
The $30 wire fee applies only when funds move by wire, so the table leaves it out. Add it to year one if your old plan administrator sends the money that way, and add it again for any later wire.
Ten years on $50,000
Ten years costs $2,050, which works out to $205 a year on average and 4.1% of the rollover across the whole decade.
| Line item | Basis | Ten years |
|---|---|---|
| Account setup | Once | $50 |
| Administration | $100 for 10 years | $1,000 |
| Storage, commingled | $100 for 10 years | $1,000 |
| Total, ten years | $2,050 |
The recurring fees are the flat administration and storage charges, and they come to $2,000 over the decade.
The cost year by year
Once the first year is behind you, the account adds $200 a year, so the running total climbs in even steps.
| Year | Cumulative cost |
|---|---|
| Year 1 | $250 |
| Year 2 | $450 |
| Year 3 | $650 |
| Year 4 | $850 |
| Year 5 | $1,050 |
| Year 6 | $1,250 |
| Year 7 | $1,450 |
| Year 8 | $1,650 |
| Year 9 | $1,850 |
| Year 10 | $2,050 |
Because the yearly charges are flat, the same $200 lands whether the account holds $50,000 or several times that. A buyer who holds for twenty years pays the same $200 in year twenty that they paid in year two.
What changes the number
The balance does not change these fees, because setup, administration and storage are flat dollar amounts. A bigger rollover spreads the same fees across more metal, so each dollar you move costs a little less to hold. The storage option and any wires change the total, and the markup on the metal is quoted per order. The ten-year cost page sets these totals beside Goldco and Augusta Precious Metals.
If you choose segregated storage
Segregated storage costs $175 a year in place of $100, and it keeps your coins and bars apart from other clients’ metal. On this rollover the yearly charge becomes $275 and the ten-year total becomes $2,800. The Advantage Gold fees page explains the difference between the two options line by line.
How the $50,000 gets into the account
Advantage Gold runs the rollover as a full-service job, so the account executive and the custodian handle the paperwork with your old plan rather than leaving you to chase it. You open the account with a custodial application that takes about 30 minutes or less with an account executive, and then you send in a recent statement from your current plan. The custodian contacts the old administrator and moves the $50,000 across, and Advantage Gold says the account is funded in a few days after the statement arrives.
Once the money lands, the account executive goes through the eligible coins and bars with you, and the markup on that purchase sits inside the price Advantage Gold quotes you, so check the written quote before you approve the order. Advantage Gold then buys, packs, insures and ships the metal to the depository. A direct rollover like this one moves between institutions, so the 60-day deadline that applies when your old plan writes the check to you does not come into it. The rollover process page walks through each step in order.
What the total covers
The model adds three things: the setup fee, the yearly administration fee and the yearly storage fee. The markup on the purchase is quoted per order and sits outside these totals. The custodian, STRATA Trust Company or Equity Trust Company, bills the administration fee, and the depository bills storage. The custodian and depository page covers how to choose between them.
The total does not include the price of the gold itself, because that money stays in your account as metal. That metal is held for you at the depository you pick, and the custodian’s statements show it in your account.
Where this sits against other dealers
On a $50,000 rollover held for ten years, Advantage Gold’s fees come to less than those of nine of the other 11 dealers in our fee database. Its $100 administration fee is lower than nine of theirs, and the $5,000 minimum opens the same schedule to much smaller balances. For the entry point, see the minimum investment page.
Who it fits, and who should look elsewhere
A $50,000 rollover sits well above the $5,000 minimum, and the flat fees stay small next to the balance. It suits a buyer who plans to hold for years, since the recurring charge stays at $200 however long the account runs. The full Advantage Gold review covers the rest of the record.
It fits less well if your balance is below $5,000, or if you would rather handle questions by live chat than by phone. In either case, compare matched companies and the quiz will point you to dealers that suit your situation.
