PAX Gold Fees
Last updated: August 13, 2026
Storage fees: Paxos does not charge gold storage fees to its customers at this time.
Creation/Destruction Fees
Whenever you buy or sell PAXG from your Paxos account through the PAX Gold pages, Paxos charges small fees to process both the creation and destruction of PAXG tokens (see fee schedules below). This includes all sales or conversions of PAX Gold to or from USD, gold bars or unallocated gold.
These fees do not apply when purchasing & selling tokens through our exchange order book or anywhere else outside the Paxos wallet. If you wish to purchase or sell PAXG through our exchange order book your trades may be subject to applicable trading fees.
Creation Fees
Creation fees are waived through 9/30/26 per the existing promotional period. After the promotional period ends, the following standard creation fee schedule applies:
Tier (oz) | Lower Bound (oz) | Rate |
< 2 oz (flat 0.02 PAXG) | – | 1.000% |
2 – 25 oz | 2 | 1.000% |
25 – 50 oz | 25 | 0.750% |
50 – 75 oz | 50 | 0.500% |
75 – 200 oz | 75 | 0.250% |
200 – 800 oz | 200 | 0.500% |
> 800 oz | 800 | 1.000% |
Redemption (Destruction) Fees
Effective September 1, 2026, PAXG redemption fees are calculated based on each account's rolling 30-day net redemption activity (total redemptions minus total creations in the trailing 30 days), applied marginally by band:
Net Redemption (30-Day Rolling) | Rate |
First $2M net | 0.125% |
$2M – $10M net | 0.250% |
$10M – $20M net | 0.350% |
Over $20M net | 0.500% |
Rates apply marginally, meaning each band is charged only on the portion of net redemption activity that falls within it. Accounts with balanced two-way activity (creations and redemptions roughly offsetting, net ≈ 0) remain at the base 0.125% rate.
This replaces the previous size-based redemption fee schedule.
In-Kind Conversion Fee
Effective September 1, 2026, a new 5 bps (0.05%) fee applies to in-kind conversions between PAXG and unallocated/allocated gold.
