Average Financial Advisor Fees



financial planning magazine

There are many factors to consider when determining an average fee for financial advisors. These factors include asset size, fixed fee, and hourly rate. Consider whether the fee is based upon a percentage or a flat rate. Fixed fees may be more costly than percentages of assets.

Hourly fees

How much should financial advisers be paid per hour? A standalone financial plan typically costs between 1.3 and 1.4% of your monthly income or 0.15 of your net wealth. The fee of an ongoing planning relationship may vary, depending on the services provided. For example, if your portfolio has $200,000 you might be willing pay up to $4,000 per calendar year for retirement planning and investment management.

The cost of a financial advisor may seem overwhelming, but it's important to know that hourly fees vary widely and should be compared to other fees. It is worth shopping around and finding an advisor with a cost that you can afford.

Asset under management fee

A set fee is charged by financial advisors based on how much money they manage. The fee for a $1 million account will be $8,000 each year. If the value of your account falls, however, your fee will be lower.


Veres looked at AUM fees for financial advisors. These fees included trading and platform charges. The results showed that portfolios under $1,000,000 had a cost-of-management of 1.5%, while portfolios larger than $2 million were at 1.3%, $3 million, or 5 million.

Fixed fee

Fixed fees for financial advisors are different from subscription or monthly fees. While retainer agreements are generally open-ended, subscription agreements specify a minimum number of scheduled meetings, interactions, or other services. A 20-hour service may cost $2,500, while a 30 hour service could cost $4,750.

Asset-based fees are another form of fee calculation. These fees are calculated based on a percentage AUM of a client’s portfolio. They decrease with increasing account value. For example, a $50,000 AUM account would require a fee of 1.18%, or $590 per year. Fixed fees range anywhere from $7,500- $55,000, while hourly charges are usually between $120-30 per hour.

Minimum account size

Based on the account size, financial advisors charge a minimum fee. These minimum fees could be charged monthly. A minimum account size is beneficial in two ways. First, it opens up new markets, especially for younger professionals with small portfolios. Advisors can also earn more from clients without a lot of assets by charging a minimal fee.

Second, minimum account sizes are easier to manage for financial advisors. Low minimum fees are more cost-effective for advisors and fit well with most advisors' business models. It can be problematic because it can cause advisors focus on older retired clients and can skew their client list towards older clients. You should plan carefully about how your fees will be structured.
