What will each broker actually cost you?

Enter the portfolio you actually hold. We calculate every charge — dealing commission, platform and custody fees, subscriptions, FX, dividend and withdrawal fees — and rank the brokers by what you would really pay.

What kind of investor are you?
Portfolio size

On a £10,000 portfolio with 12 trades a year, the cheapest option is InvestEngine at £0.00/year. The most expensive charges £188/year.

Choosing the cheapest saves £188 a year — and £940 over five years, once you account for the growth those fees never earned.

Estimates only, based on each broker's published fee schedule as verified in August 2026. Fund ongoing charges are shown separately because they are paid to the fund manager and are the same whichever broker you use. Fees quoted in another currency are converted at a fixed reference rate so that every figure on this site is reproducible. See our methodology. Capital at risk. This is not financial advice. Investing involves risk of loss.
