Physical silver costs more in this scenario.

Assumes the silver price is unchanged when sold. VAT is applied to metal value plus dealer premium. The vaulted estimate uses BullionVault’s published starting 0.5% charge for buying and selling and 0.48% yearly silver custody with an estimated US$8 monthly minimum. Example FX is used until the live reference loads.

Use your actual dealer figures

Enter the premium above metal value, the tax treatment shown by the seller, delivery, storage and expected resale spread. VAT and dealer practices vary by product, transaction and country, so the starting values are examples rather than a statement of your tax liability.

Understand the comparison

The result estimates the cost of buying, holding and later selling the same metal value while assuming the silver price does not change. It helps isolate ownership costs. It does not predict returns or capture every provider, banking, currency or tax charge.
