Three steps. No spreadsheets, no sales calls.
Start with the classic 1oz bar, the easiest size to compare like-for-like across dealers.
We add every fee (premium, delivery, card surcharge) so the number you see is the number you pay.
Head to the dealer that's cheapest for you. We never handle your money or your metal.
The stuff dealers don't always put on the sticker.
The margin above the metal's raw value: the biggest cost, and the one we compute live per product. ‘Spot’ means the live global market price of one troy ounce of the pure metal, before any dealer adds their markup.
Free at most dealers; a few charge £6–£15. Always insured for bullion.
Bank transfer is usually free; cards can add ~2%. Toggle it above to see the difference.
Only if you vault instead of taking delivery. A recurring fee, shown separately.
The gap below spot when you sell back. It decides your true round-trip cost.
Mostly none, but some unlock free storage or delivery above a threshold.
