Calculate my fees
Use our calculator to estimate the fees you may pay to invest in our accounts. Our calculator uses new pricing introduced on 6 February 2024, if you became a Barclays Smart Investor customer before 6 February 2024, you may pay a different customer fee. If that’s you, you can use this calculator to help decide if you want to move to the new pricing by comparing the estimate below to your latest statement.
If you do wish to move to the new pricing please give us a call on 0800 279 3667.1 Please note once you request to move we cannot return you to your old tariff.
Fees are calculated annually but charged on a monthly basis.
Your fee estimation is only an illustration and may be different to your actual fees. Your actual fees will depend on the value of your investment portfolio throughout the year and the number of transactions you make.
For information on third party management fees, customers should refer to 'Third Party Management Fees' in the FAQ section below.

A low cost way to invest
There is no charge to open an account. We have three types of investment account. Choose one to start with and then you can always add another one later on.
Investment ISA
Easy, tax-efficient, low-cost investing
Grow your money in a tax-efficient ISA. Invest up to £20,000 per year with a simple low annual charge and dedicated customer support.
Get started in minutes and secure your annual allowance with a debit card, a monthly Direct Debit or by moving money from your Barclays account. There’s no charge to hold cash if you need some time to decide where to invest.
You can also transfer an existing ISA2 to benefit from our award-winning ISA service.3
Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP)
A tax-efficient way to save for retirement
Our award winning Self-Invested Personal Pension (Best SIPP award 2022 at the Shares Awards) is designed to help you prepare for retirement.
Let us help you build your retirement pot and make your own investment decisions.
The value of investments can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invest. Tax rules can change and their effects on you will depend on your individual circumstances.
