Goldco is a gold IRA dealer. The figures below come from our own fee database, where every entry stores the page it was read from and the date it was read, and this record was last checked on April 17, 2026. Where we found no published figure we say so rather than estimating a number that would look like a fact.
What it costs to open and hold
| Charge | Amount | Against our set |
|---|---|---|
| Setup fee | $50 | $0 to $280 across 12 dealers |
| Annual administration | $80 | $80 to $200 across 12 dealers |
| Storage, segregated | $150 | $150 to $200 across 11 dealers |
| Storage, commingled | $100 | $100 to $150 across 11 dealers |
| Wire fee | $30 | $25 to $30 across 12 dealers |
| Account minimum | $25,000 | $2,000 to $50,000 across 12 dealers |
| Markup on the metal | Quoted per order | Not recorded for any dealer we track |
These figures are taken from a schedule the company publishes. Storage and administration are usually billed by the custodian rather than by the dealer, so the total a reader pays depends on which custodian the account is opened with.
Who it suits
The stated account minimum puts Goldco in reach of Lower annual admin fee. A minimum is a threshold rather than a recommendation, and a company being open to your transfer size says nothing about whether its pricing is competitive at that size.
Goldco against other dealers
Each comparison below totals the setup, administration and storage fees for both companies over 10 years and says which costs less on fees, which is a different question from what either charges on its own. Pairs where the two land within 10% of each other are not published, because a page that cannot reach a conclusion is not worth the reader's time.

What we have not checked
This page covers cost. We have not yet compiled the regulator and court record, the complaint history, or the buyback terms for Goldco, so none of those sections appear rather than appearing empty.
Everything here is editorial assessment built from published documents, not consumer testimony, and there are no customer ratings on this site because we have no customers.
