How do I pay for Gold?

Your brokerage account will be charged the $5 monthly fee every 30 days at the beginning of each billing cycle. If you have access to margin investing and use more than $1,000 of margin, you’ll pay 3.5% yearly interest on the settled margin amount you use over $1,000. Your interest is calculated daily and charged to your account at the end of each billing cycle.

Yes, you can find all Robinhood Gold fees and interest payments in your account history. You can also find information about your next Gold billing cycle in your account overview (Account tab > Menu > Investing). The Gold billing section includes:

• Next Gold Billing Date: This is the next date on which you will be charged for Robinhood Gold.
• Monthly Fee: The monthly fee paid for Robinhood Gold. This will be automatically deducted from your brokerage account on the next Gold billing date.
• Margin Used: How much you’ve invested on margin. Interest is calculated daily based on your margin used over $1,000.
• Yearly Interest Rate: The yearly interest rate you pay for margin used over $1,000.
• Unpaid Interest: The margin interest accumulated for the current billing cycle. This amount will be automatically deducted from your brokerage account on the next Gold billing date.

The first $1,000 of margin is included with your $5 monthly fee. If you borrow more, you’ll pay 3.5% yearly interest on any margin used over $1,000.

Your interest is calculated daily on your settled brokerage account cash balance at the end of the trading day. The daily interest rate is 3.5% divided by 360. For example, if you use $3,000 of margin, we’ll calculate $0.19 of daily interest as follows:

• $3,000 margin used
• $1,000 included with your monthly fee, leaving $2,000 subject to interest
• $2,000 * (3.5% / 360) = $0.19 per day

We’ll charge your brokerage account every 30 days at the end of your Gold billing cycle. You can always check the current status of your billing cycle and view unpaid interest in the Gold billing section of your account overview (Account tab > Menu > Investing).

Margin investing involves interest charges and risks, including the potential to lose more than deposited or the need to deposit additional collateral in a falling market. Not all investors will be eligible to trade on margin. Before using margin, customers must determine whether this type of trading strategy is right for them given their specific investment objectives, experience, risk tolerance, and financial situation. Any examples are hypothetical, and do not reflect actual or anticipated results. All investments involve risk and loss of principal is possible.
