Brokers and fees

What a year with a broker actually costs, computed from fee schedules that a person read off each broker’s own page and dated.

Affiliate disclosure

disclosed on every page of this section
Some brokers in this section have, or may have, a paid affiliate relationship with this site. The affiliate flag is published per record. Ordering, comparisons and the calculator are computed from the published fee data only and never from any payment: no field describing compensation takes part in any sort key.
Broker fee schedules are not scraped. They are entered by hand from each broker's own published fee page, carry the date they were last verified against that page, and are excluded from comparisons once that date is more than 90 days old.

No broker fee schedule has been entered yet

Broker tariffs are not collected automatically. They are not published in any machine-readable feed we are allowed to use, and copying them from comparison sites would only reproduce other people’s errors. Each schedule is entered by a person who opened the broker’s own fee page, transcribed the figures and recorded the date of that reading. Until that has happened for at least one broker, this section has nothing to show — and it will not be filled with illustrative or placeholder numbers to look less empty.

Nothing here is a ranking of brokers. When schedules exist, this section states only which of two brokers costs less under a stated scenario, at stated parameters, according to figures they published themselves.

These are scenarios, not data: they describe how someone might use an account. Amounts are shown in each broker’s own stated fee currency. Run your own parameters.
