Super fees have two components: flat dollar fees (same regardless of balance) and percentage-based fees (which scale with your balance). This means the cheapest fund at $10,000 is often not the cheapest at $500,000.

Fees are not the only factor
The cheapest fund is not always the best fund. Net-of-fee returns, insurance, investment options, and service quality all matter. Use our comparison calculator to see the full picture.
