Vanguard UK is not the cheapest at any pot size on this site. That is not a verdict on the platform — only on its published charges against the others', at 12 trades a year.
Vanguard's ISA holds Vanguard's own funds and ETFs only, so it cannot be costed as a general share-dealing account.

Every figure assumes 12 trades a year of £1,000 each, inside a stocks and shares ISA. It excludes Stamp duty at 0.5% on UK share purchases, the £1 PTM levy on orders over £10,000, fund manager charges (the OCF), and any foreign-exchange fee — every one of those is charged by someone other than the platform and is the same wherever you hold the money.
| Platform fee | Under £32,000: £4 a month (£48 a year). £32,000+: 0.15% a year, capped at £375 |
| Uk share dealing | No general share dealing — Vanguard funds and ETFs only; live ETF quote-and-deal £7.50 per trade |
| Fund dealing | £0 |
Charges read 18 August 2026 from Vanguard UK's own pricing page. No FX fee is published because you cannot buy individual international shares — only Vanguard's own GBP funds and ETFs. The £4/month minimum makes small pots proportionally expensive: on £5,000 that is roughly 1% a year.
Charges read 19 August 2026 from each platform's own pricing page. Platforms reprice with little notice, and nothing here is advice — it is arithmetic on published charges.
