Let’s look at an example:

Jennifer and Joshua each have 401(k)s with a value of $50,000. Jennifer’s plan is with Ubiquity Retirement + Savings and her fees are flat $6/month with an investment expense fee of 0.17%. Joshua’s plan is with Betterment, his fee is $42/month, his management fee is 0.25% and his investment expense fee is 0.11%.

Assuming they don’t contribute another penny to the account, and it grows an average of 10% every year, at the end of 30 years, Jennifer’s Ubiquity account is worth $819,304, with fees of just $15,804.

But Joshua’s Betterment account is only worth $703,178, with fees of $41,354. He’s paying 161% more in fees with Betterment than Jennifer is at Ubiquity! (Wow, they must have some amazing holiday parties at Betterment…)

Ubiquity’s flat fees could help you end up with $116,126 more over 30 years vs. a plan that charges percentage-based fees.
