List out your total investment along with the following fees if applicable: front load, deferred loan, expense ratio, 12b-1, & management if you have actively managed funds. Multiple your total investment by the fee percentage to get your fee in dollars. Ideally you’d be paying less than 0.2% in fees with the exception of 401k which are actively managed.
