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.
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.
