The setup and administration amounts are described on Goldco’s cost page. The storage amounts come from the Equity Trust schedule recorded in the supplied company dataset. They apply only if that custodian and the relevant storage arrangement are used. Goldco does not publish a complete exclusive custodian list in the captured data.
These are dated source figures, not a promise that a reader will receive those terms. The dataset’s storage entries use the more current custodian schedule rather than repeating older storage numbers on a dealer page. Confirm the applicable written schedule before moving funds.
Why is this not a total-cost quote?
Alternative storage arrangements are not cumulative. Nor does an administration charge necessarily include purchases, sales, wires, shipping, distribution or account closure. Ask which services are covered and which institution invoices each item.
The dataset does not supply a verified dealer spread for this quote, so this site does not invent one. The difference between a purchase price and a later sale offer matters separately from administration and storage. Request the exact product price, terms and a contemporaneous sale-price explanation from the dealer.
Is there a separate charge for Roth treatment?
The available dataset does not establish a Roth-specific surcharge. That limitation is not a statement that every custodian charges the same amount for every service. Ask whether its schedule covers the proposed Roth account and whether a conversion or a distribution adds transaction charges.
Tax owed on a conversion is a separate issue from provider fees. The IRS generally includes previously untaxed traditional IRA amounts in gross income on conversion. A custodian fee schedule does not calculate that liability.

Is the opening minimum another fee?
Goldco’s published general rollover minimum is $25,000. This is a provider requirement, not an IRS contribution limit or a conversion threshold. The word “generally” matters: confirm the actual terms before transferring an account.

A funding minimum is an amount the provider generally expects to be available, not an annual charge and not an IRS contribution allowance. Do not compare it directly with the setup charge as if they were the same kind of expense.
Before acting, request a written schedule for the actual custodian, the actual storage choice and any planned metal delivery. This publisher’s affiliate relationship with Goldco is explained on the disclosure page; it does not convert the dated figures here into an endorsed quote.
