Costs, fees & minimums

Your accounts can work harder for you when they're not dragged down by high costs.

On average, Vanguard mutual fund expense ratios are 82% less than the industry average.*

You don't get a bill explaining how much of your savings went toward paying mutual fund expenses, because those costs are paid directly out of each fund's returns.

Vanguard was built differently to make sure we stay focused on keeping your costs low. You only pay what it costs us to run the funds—period.

Plus, for as long as you keep investing at Vanguard, you'll pay:

No account service fees.
No front-end or back-end sales loads.
No extra distribution or marketing fees (known as "12b-1" fees).

Investor Shares

$1,000 for Vanguard Target Retirement Funds and Vanguard STAR® Fund.
$3,000 for most other Vanguard funds.**

Admiral Shares

$10,000 for most index funds and tax-managed funds.
$50,000 for most actively managed funds.
$100,000 for certain sector-specific index funds.
