Investment Calculator

Precious metals have long been considered a steady place to store wealth, with gold perhaps the oldest “safe haven asset” in the world. Over time, it has tended to hold its value against inflation, while offering a simple way to diversify and protecting personal wealth for future generations.

If you’re new to physical precious metals, it’s worth doing some research, with the below some resources we have on site that may be a good start:

If you’re ready to explore your options, our investment calculator is a straightforward place to start. Enter your preferred metal and budget, and we’ll show a range of ways to allocate it, whether that’s prioritising tax efficiency, flexibility, or value.

All options include free, fully insured and secure delivery for ultimate peace of mind.

Best Value Package

Simply this is about getting the most metal for your budget. Product type, year and brand may vary, but all options are LBMA-approved. A straightforward way to maximise weight over preference.

VAT-Free Silver Package

Buy 1kg silver bars and 1oz silver Britannia coins without paying VAT. Your bullion will be stored in an accredited vault in Zurich, and with no VAT to pay it means you will receive more metal for your money. VAT will only become payable if you later request delivery of your investments.

Capitals Gains Tax Free Package

This option includes British legal tender coins, which are exempt from Capital Gains Tax for UK residents. A practical option for those thinking ahead about selling and concerned their gains will exceed the annual allowance.

Flexibility Package

Built around smaller units, offering more control when it comes to selling. Larger items can be more cost-effective per gram, but smaller units provide the option to part-sell your holdings rather than liquidate all or large parts in one go.

Cheapest Coin Package

For investors who prefer coins over bars, this package provides the very best value for coins in your metal of choice. This can include UK coins, but may also feature non-UK coins.

Cheapest Bars Package

For those who prefer bars over coins. This package selects the lowest-priced bars available within your budget, all from LBMA-approved refiners. A simple, no-frills approach to holding physical metal.
