Texas Bullion Depository Schedule of Fees
Fee Schedule
The following fee schedule is effective April 1, 2026 for all non-IRA accounts. Standard storage fees use a flat-rate pricing model, where one rate - based on your account's average daily value - applies to your entire holdings.
Segregated Storage Fees (Non-IRA Accounts)
Standard storage fees apply to all accounts opened and managed directly with Texas Bullion Depository (excludes IRAs managed through third-party custodians and other accounts with custom pricing agreements).
Annual rates are applied on a daily basis, so your fee is based on the average daily value of your account across the year. Fees are charged once per quarter.
| Average Daily Value From | To | Annual Rate |
|---|---|---|
| $0.01 | $499,999.99 | 0.49%* |
| $500,000.00 | $999,999.99 | 0.44% |
| $1,000,000.00 | $2,499,999.99 | 0.39% |
| $2,500,000.00 | $4,999,999.99 | 0.34% |
| $5,000,000.00+ | — | Call for pricing |
* $25/quarter minimum applies. Same low rates for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.
How fees are calculated: Your account's Average Daily Value (ADV) determines your rate tier. That single rate applies to your entire ADV - not split across tiers. Fees accrue daily: Daily Fee = ADV × (Annual Rate ÷ 365).
Example: An account with an ADV of $100,000 falls in the $0.01–$499,999.99 tier (0.49% annual rate).
Daily rate = 0.49% ÷ 365 = 0.0000134247
Daily fee = $100,000 × 0.0000134247 = $1.34/day

Additional Terms and Information
The Texas Bullion Depository reserves the right to revise its fees at any time by publishing the applicable fees on our website and by providing notice to Account Holders. Fee changes will be effective 30 days after the date of initial publication. The Depository reserves the right to waive any fee at its sole discretion.
Not all fees are applicable to every client, as some fees are optional based upon the services selected by the Depository Account Holder.
Storage fees accrue on a daily basis. The value of an account is determined based upon using the Official Exchange Rate as established by the Comptroller. The Official Exchange Rate is the spot precious metal price as of 3:00 pm U.S. Central Time. It is based upon the London OTC market ask pricing.
Storage fees are listed as annual rate. To calculate the applicable daily rate, the annual rate is divided by 365 days. To calculate the accrued daily storage fee, multiply the daily value of the account by the applicable daily rate.
Storage Fees listed as a percentage (%) are the annual rate. In order to determine a daily rate, the annual rate must be divided by 365 (three-hundred sixty-five).
The Texas Bullion Depository shall invoice customers on no less than a quarterly basis. The quarterly storage fee bill is the sum of the accrued daily storage fees or $25.00, whichever is greater.
For certain accounts, negotiated pricing may be in effect based upon the total volume of ounces stored per metal type. For example, accounts with more than $5 million in average value that include large volumes of silver may pay a rate that is higher due to the volume of the metal stored. Negotiated pricing will be discussed on a case-by-case basis and shall be agreed upon in advance by the client and the Texas Bullion Depository.
